As long time listeners of the show know, The Wolf and Action Jackson were and remain huge fans of The Police. When they were 10, Synchronicity and Every Breath You Take ruled the albums and singles charts while being broadcast hourly on MTV. We'd thought we'd found the rock band we'd grow up with. However, lead singer and songwriter Sting had other plans. He'd grown tired to the infighting with Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland and wanted to take his songwriting and good looks solo. Dream of the Blue Turtles was Sting's first solo album making its debut June 17, 1985 and offered a more mature and jazzy approach to his songwriting. Enlisting the help of veterans like Darryl Jones (bass), Omar Hakim (drums), Kenny Kirkland (keys) and Branford Marsalis (horns), Sting created a more dynamic soundscape than he could have in The Police and took a big step towards being recognized as one of the premier songwriters of his generation. The first single, Feel Free To Set Them Free, set a groove and took advantage of new video technology for use on MTV. He revisited his ska/reggae roots on Love Is The Seventh Wave and offered a prayer of hope in the worry of the Cold War with Russians. However, Fortress Around Your Heart may be the best song he's ever written and it closes the album with style and substance. We may have wanted The Police to go on forever but Sting proved he could do so much more and this album went 3x platinum in the US with huge success around the world.

In the early ‘80s, The Police guitarist Andy Summers and King Crimson mastermind Robert Fripp formed an unexpected partnership—blending avant-garde progressive rock with stadium-ready new wave. Despite their vastly different styles, the duo released I Advance Masked (1982) and Bewitched (1984), crafting intricate soundscapes that pushed musical boundaries. Surprisingly, Summers wasn't even a King Crimson fan when they first collaborated. In a recent Guitarist interview, he revealed that he and Fripp had a “cosmic connection” dating back to their teenage years in England. Their journey—from crossing paths in local music scenes to creating two groundbreaking albums—remains one of rock's most fascinating stories. Now, previously unheard recordings from their sessions have surfaced in Mother Hold the Candle Steady, part of the Complete Recordings reissue. Summers admits he was “knocked out” revisiting these lost tracks, questioning why they were left behind in the first place. In this video, we explore how this unique collaboration came to life, why it still resonates, and how their experimental approach influenced generations of guitarists. Plus, we dive into the latest discussions surrounding Fripp, King Crimson, and the ongoing legacy of progressive rock.

Nothing Like the Sun, or as it is written on the album, "...Nothing Like the Sun,"  is the second solo studio album by former Police bassist and front man Sting.  The title comes from Shakespeare's sonnet number 130 which contains the lines, "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun."  Sting was met on the street one evening, who asked him, "How beautiful is the moon?"  Sting responded with this line from the sonnet.  Two events play a lot of influence on this album.  First, Sting's mother died in 1986, inspiring the lyrics to the opening track, "Lazarus Heart."  Second Sting joined the Conspiracy of Hope tour for Amnesty International, and through this tour was exposed to victims of government oppression in Latin America.  He was particularly moved by people in Chile for whom loved ones had "disappeared" in government actions, and wrote "They Dance Alone" as a description of the mourners who would dance the traditional Cueca by themselves with a picture of their loved ones pinned to their clothes.Sting's first solo album leaned into jazz.  This second album continues to have a jazz influence but reaches across a number of other genres including reggae, funk, acoustic rock, soft rock, and world music.  He brought in a number of solid musicians into the recording sessions including Gil Evans, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Branford Marsalis, and even his fellow Police alumnus Andy SummersSting would continue to further success after this album, which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard 200 chart.  In the UK, ...Nothing Like the Sun debuted and peaked at number 1 on the UK albums chart.Bruce presents this adult contemporary album for this week's podcast. Be Still My Beating HeartThis second single from the album went to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics are quite mature, describing the head telling the heart to settle down in the midst of an intense romance.  The title was likely inspired by a 19th Century poem from Mary Elizabeth Coleridge.  Andy Summers is playing guitar on this track.  Little WingMost of this album is original music written by Sting, but this one is a deeper cut and a cover.  Jimi Hendrix wrote "Little Wing" in 1967, and it appears on his "Axis" album.  Gil Evans did a jazz arrangement of this piece in 1974, and provided this arrangement and backing with his orchestra for this cover.  Sting's version runs just over 5 minutes, giving it a run time just over double that of the original Hendrix version.  Rock SteadyAnother deep cut, this song is Stings humorous look at a couple who have volunteered to join a cruise, and later find out that they are joining Noah on the Ark.  "Life may be tough, but we're sailing with the Lord."  FragileThis is the fourth single from the album, and is a gorgeous acoustic piece.  This anti-war song was likely inspired by Sting's work with Amnesty International. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:That's Amore by Dean Martin (from the motion picture “Moonstruck”) This romance comedy starring Cher and Nicolas Cage delivered a Best Actress Oscar to Cher and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar to Olympia Dukakis.  STAFF PICKS:The Promise by When In RomeRob starts this week's staff picks with the only hit from a British new wave trio.  This track went to number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became a popular song to play at weddings later on.  It gained a revival in popularity when it was used in the soundtrack to "Napoleon Dynamite" in 2004.  Got My Mind Set On You by George HarrisonLynch brings us a cover of a song originally written by Rudy Clark and recorded by James Ray in 1962.  It is off Harrison's comeback album, "Cloud Nine."  Harrison worked with Jeff Lynne on the album because he wanted a producer who wouldn't be intimidated by working with a Beatle.  The teamwork went well, and the two would go on to form "The Traveling Wilburys" supergroup shortly thereafter.Dude (Looks Like a Lady) by AerosmithWayne features one of many hits from Aerosmith's monster "Permanent Vacation" album.  The lyrics tell the tale of a man finding out that the "girl" he has bee pursuing at a club was a man dressed up as a woman.  The idea for the song came from Motley Crue singer Vince Neil being mistaken frequently for a woman with long blonde hair.Mission by RushBruce closes out the staff picks with a song which arose from a conversation between Neal Peart and Geddy Lee about the perception people have that the rich and famous have easier lives.  The lyrics reflect how every life has its own difficulties, and perhaps those who are highly successful would often wish for a more plain and settled life at times.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Bailando/Aquatic Park by Carlos SantanaGuitar virtuoso Carlos Santana takes us out this week with a track from his solo album, "Blues for Salvador."

With his sophisticated use of guitar effects, including delay, chorus, and reverb, Summers created the atmospheric and distinctive sound that became a hallmark of The Police's hits, such as “Message in a Bottle,” “Every Breath You Take,” and “Roxanne.” His fusion of jazz, rock, and reggae influences set him apart as a highly innovative guitarist. Beyond The Police, Summers has had a successful solo career, releasing numerous albums that explore jazz, ambient, and world music. He's also a noted photographer and author, with his autobiography, One Train Later, offering a candid look at his life and career. Summers' unique style and contributions to guitar playing have solidified his legacy as one of rock music's most influential guitarists.

For proof, listen to recordings he's played on by Daryl Stuermer (Phil Collins, Genesis, Jean Luc Ponty), Willy Porter, Greg Koch, the Kirk Tratnall Trio, and more. Not enough? He already has one solo album, Shine, to his credit and is about to drop his next one called Drone. These two albums are completely his original work and they will floor you. Add to that experiences playing with Andy Summers (The Police), Kate Pierson (The B-52s), Nils Lofgren (Bruce Springsteen), and a host of other notable artists and you realize there's something very special about "Johnny Cee."

How Andy Summers made a massive Police hit using a hand-wrenching guitar figure and a Telecaster with a mysterious history. The guitarist calls "Message in a Bottle" "the best song Sting ever came up with, and the best Police track”

This week, we head back to '82 (when we could throw a pigskin a quarter mile) with special guest Jackson Reed. With his band Jackson Reed and the Silverbirds, the 26-year old Calgary rocker is mixing an irresistible blend of earnest '80s classic rock with modern pop smarts. Following the success of tracks like 2021's "Dangerous Lover" (featuring legendary drummer Kenny Aronoff) and 2023's "In My Head," their latest single is a cover of Prince's iconic 1982 hit "Little Red Corvette", offering up a take on the classic that's both faithful and fresh. It's garnered radio airplay coast-to-coast in both the USA and Canada. Reed also hosts the wonderful podcast Guess That Record, where he has interviewed luminaries such as The Police's Andy Summers, Dweezil Zappa, and Billy Joel drummer Chuck Burgi. And, in tribute to Jackson's pod, we play a brand new O3L game called "Back in 82, I Could Guess That Song!" Like good honorary Canadians, we partake in conversations about hockey, Rush, the Tragically Hip, Degrassi, Corner Gas...plus little red corvettes, Brett's drag club appearance, and Uncle Gregg's oddly specific sensual fantasies. Hey, it was Saturday night, we guess that makes it alright... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chad Wackerman's professional career began in 1978 with the Bill Watrous Refuge West Big Band. Since then he has amassed a remarkable body of work including a seven year association with Frank Zappa, with whom he toured the USA and Europe and recorded 27 albums including the London Symphony recordings. He has also recorded 8 albums and toured with guitar legend Allan Holdsworth, played on the ‘One Voice' album and video with Barbra Streisand, and recorded albums and toured with artists as diverse as James Taylor, Steve Vai, Andy Summers, Steven Wilson, Men At Work, Ed Mann, Albert Lee, Colin Hay, Dweezil Zappa, Pasqua/Holdsworth/Haslip/Wackerman Group, Terry Bozzio, Carl Verheyen, David Garfield,John Patitucci, Jennifer Batten, Joe Sample, Robbie Kreiger, Banned From Utopia and The World Drummers Ensemble (Bill Bruford, Luis Conte, Dou Dou Ndiaye Rose and Chad Wackerman) . As a band leader and composer Chad has five critically acclaimed CDs: ‘Forty Reasons', ‘The View', ‘Scream', ‘Legs Eleven' and his latest release, ‘Dreams Nightmares and Improvisations'. Chad has written music for the television show ‘The Dennis Miller Show', as well as composing music for Allan Holdsworth's ‘Secrets', ‘Wardenclyffe Tower' and ‘Sixteen Men of Tain' CDs. His trio has a performance DVD, ‘Hits Live'. In this episode, Chad talks about:    Working with Allan Holdsworth    The amazing story behind recording Allan's record “Road Games”    “Improvising at the highest level sounds like composition”    Interpreting charts efficiently    Auditioning for Frank Zappa    How to make a band sound better    Learning from Murray Spivack    Figuring out what's important for each gig and artist

Sanford, MI/Midland, MI world music master, teacher, student, tone-enthusiast, and forebearer of touch and musical invitation, Bryan Rombalski is ahead of everyone else when it comes to the musical curves. Guitar teacher, former classic rocker, '80s sound designer, and jazz/fusion projecting, speaking many musical languages, Rombalski has laid more ground offering his gifts as a musician from a mental standpoint, than most musicians can put on a resume. Let's fact check: played with Leslie West/Mountain, UFO, Cheap Trick, and Van Halen (hanging out with Edward on their first tour of course) while in Couture, a touring monster, was able to grasp the Robert Fripp/Adrian Belew, Andy Summers, and Talking Heads thrivent-stylistic music while in '80s and '90s cover acts, and went on to learn from masters and teach students, while maintaining regular monthly jazz sets in Midland over the past 15 or so years. Rombalski's gentle demeanor comes from invitation to participate, rather than the 'ram-it down the throat' guitar hero's which adorned the covers of the magazines.    A YouTube video initiation showcases his genius in finger style, common thread, and quartet/quintet values. Equally at home with Wayne Shorter and Wayne Kramer, or even John Coltrane and Mark Knopfler, Rombalski's ethos as a musician knows zero bounds. His studies have taken him around the world and yet he reserves space for his art, teaching and performance as his daily bread.  There is only ONE Bryan Rombalski.     Turn it up--he's soft spoken with a huge sound.

Do you love 'em or hate 'em, Slackers?!After decades of having an ambivelent stance on this legendary group, I have recently started to go down The Police rabbit hole. Starting with Stewart Copeland's Drumeo video, I began to go back through the band's history and it's few but mighty records. With a career that lasted only 7 years, the five records that they did record have gone down in history as some of the most diverse and influential records of all time.While I certainly know all the hits, it has only been with this recent dive into their catalouge that I have been able to discover the complexity of their songs - songs that on the surface seem simple - with this huge voice cutting through it all. Now I know that Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland were dynamic musicians with plenty of backstage drama that both contributed to their success and likely their abrupt exit from the scene. But what better way to end a career than with your biggest album and tour - then have a single reunion tour that becomes one of the biggest tours of all time!For the early Gen Xers, this was probably one of your favorite bands - I mean if I was turning 13 in 1978, I would have been all about them - but I was just a little too young to have appreciated them at the time. With the benefit of hindsight and some great content available online, I have just begun to explore and appreciate their music and legacy.

We covered the big commercial hit album "Brothers In Arms" back in episode 154, but many afficianados of Dire Straits consider their finest work to be the album that preceeded this one.  Love Over Gold is their fourth studio album, released in late September 1982 and on the charts in June 1983.  For this album, prime mover and lead vocalist Mark Knopfler, bassist John Illsley, and percussionist Pick Withers are joined by new members Hal Lindes on guitars and Alan Clark on keyboards.  The songs on this album are longer than your standard single, particularly the majestic 14-minute "Telegraph Road."  Despite their length, "Private Investigations" was released as a single in the UK and reached number 2on the charts.  The shortest song, "Industrial Disease" (still clocking in at 5:50) was released as a single in the US.  It would reach number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, but would be a staple of rock radio stations at the time.A number of songs were written and recorded during the "Love Over Gold" sessions, but subsequently discarded from album release.  Amongst these was the song "Private Dancer," which was instead provided to Tina Turner for her comeback album of the same name.   Turner would take this song to number 7 on the US charts, and see her career reinvigorated by the success of her "Private Dancer" album."Love Over Gold" was a number 1 album on a number of charts, including Australia, Austria, and the UK, and reached number 19 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart.Rob brings us this outstanding, deep, and thought-provoking album for this week's podcast.Telegraph RoadThis lengthy masterpiece was inspired while Knopfler was riding in his tour bus down the 70-mile road of the same name.  The song narrarates the development and history along the road as the decades roll past.  It is easy to describe this song as prog rock, but it also contains one of the best guitar solo riffs you will hear. Industrial DiseaseGoodness me, goodness me!  We have to highlight the US single from the album.  The title comes from a term for work-related illness, and the term in this song references both individual work illness and the decline of British industry in general.  The reference to Dr. Parkinson is a British professor and satirist who is famous for the phrase "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Overture to the Marriage of Figaro by Mozart (from the motion picture “Trading Places”)Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd star in this comedy about a yuppie and a homeless man who are forced to trade places as the result of a bet by two rich stock brokers.   STAFF PICKS:Murder By Numbers by The PoliceBruce initiates the staff picks with a dark song about becoming a serial killer.  This Police song appears on the cassette and CD version of the album "Synchronicity," but was left off the vinyl due to lack of space.  It was written by Sting and Andy Summers, the only collaborative song on the album, and was recorded in a single take.  Rock of Ages by Def LeppardLynch brings us a huge song from Def Leppard's "Pyromania" album.  Producer Mutt Lange counts off the nonsensical "Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen," to open the song, and the lyrics form an anthem suitable for arena show openers.  Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" was an inspiration to the creation of this anthem.Don't Pay the Ferryman by Chris deBurghWayne's staff pick takes a fantasy approach to the story of Charon and the crossing of the river Styx, advising not to pay until the trip is done.  Irish artist Chris deBurgh broke into the US top 40 with this song, peaking at number 34.  Lines from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" can be heard in the bridge to the song.The Walls came Down by The Call Rob finishes the staff picks with a song that is inspired by the Biblical tale of the fall of Jericho.  Lead singer Michael Been would pull biblical references into his lyrics, including this song.  The Call formed in 1980 in California, and blended rock, New Wave, and post-Punk.  U2 and Simple Minds both consider The Call an influence in their music. COMEDY TRACK:My Bologna by "Weird Al" YankovicWe close out with Weird Al's meaty take on "My Sharona by" the Knack.

Summers reflects on how his unique guitar riff shaped the song's enduring success, making it one of the most recognizable riffs in music history. He discusses the creative process behind the track, its lasting impact, and the intricate, often overlooked role his guitar work played in the song's global reach.

https://youtube.com/live/WS3zqWi2Iq4 Andy Summers' heavily modified Telecaster, a cornerstone of The Police's early sound, remains a mystery. In 1972, while teaching in California, Summers bought the guitar from a student. Already well-worn, it featured a humbucker in the neck, a phase switch, and an active boost controlled by a third knob. Though Summers only recalls adding Schaller tuners, much of the guitar's history is uncertain. While Summers identifies it as a 1961 model, others suggest it could be a 1963 Telecaster Custom, possibly with a 1950s neck given its maple fretboard, though this is debated. The Telecaster became central to The Police's unique sound, but it wasn't until 2006 that Fender decided to reproduce it. Summers had originally approached Fender about building a Strat with a Steinberger TransTrem, but the guitar giant received so many requests for his Telecaster that they instead launched a limited run of 250 Tribute models in 2007, priced at £9,399. The release coincided with The Police's reunion and Summers' autobiography One Train Later. One of the Tribute models recently resurfaced for sale at nearly double its original price. To create the Tribute series, Fender's master builder Dennis Galuszka closely examined Summers' original guitar. Despite this, the guitar's true origins remained elusive. No identifying dates were found on the neck or body, and Galuszka speculated that the neck might be from a 1950s Telecaster, based on remnants of white blonde paint. The body had been routed so heavily that no original markings were left. While adding a Gibson humbucker and phase switch was a common mod at the time, the brass bridge and active boost circuit were more unusual. The guitar's secret weapon was its active boost, controlled by a mini-toggle switch near the bridge. Yet the person who installed these mods remains unknown. Despite The Police's massive success, no one has come forward to claim credit for the modifications. Summers, too, has never revealed the name of the student who sold him the guitar. Summers (or someone else) continued modifying the guitar after purchasing it. In a 1978 performance, the Tele still had its original three-saddle bridge, but by late that year, Summers had replaced it with a six-saddle bridge. The bridge pickup was also direct-mounted to the body, likely due to routing required for the brass bridge plate. Photos show a crack in the plate between the pickup and control plate, which Summers left unaddressed. The guitar's pickups also remain a puzzle. Fender's team found that a Seymour Duncan '59 humbucker closely resembled the neck pickup, while the bridge pickup seemed custom-made. The active boost circuit, added before Summers bought the guitar in 1972, required routing to fit a nine-volt battery, which was uncommon for the early '70s. The Tribute model replicated this feature using a modified Eric Clapton mid-boost circuit since the original was no longer functional. Despite its iconic status, the Telecaster has only been reproduced in limited numbers. Guitars with humbuckers or phase switches are common, but the active boost remains rare due to the substantial modifications needed to fit it into a Telecaster's small control cavity. It's intriguing that, for such a well-known instrument, no mass-market model has ever been made, and that the person responsible for its groundbreaking mods remains anonymous. Summers' heavily modified Telecaster played a vital role in shaping the sound of The Police and became one of the most unique instruments in rock history. It's remarkable that such an influential guitar was modded by an unknown individual whose work helped define a band that sold millions of records. Hopefully, one day, the person responsible for these now-legendary modifications will get the credit they deserve.

Guitarist, composer, and teacher Benjamin Verdery seems to know everybody who's ever picked up the instrument. Ben is a classical guitarist himself, but his musical friends include Andy Summers of the Police, the fingerpicking virtuoso Leo Kottke, flamenco legend Paco Pena, guitarist Bryce Dessner of the indie rock band The National – the list goes on and on. Lots of contemporary composers have written works for him, and Ben himself has written a wide range of works. He's filled a 40 year career with a wild assortment of collaborations and collaborators. Recently, Ben emailed to say he was retiring next year, so it seemed high time that we invite him back here before he jets off to Hawaii. Benjamin Verdery plays some of his own pieces from his collection called Some Towns and Cities, and yes, at least one of those towns is in Hawaii.  Set list: 1. Capitola, CA 2. Keanae, HI 3. Milwaukee, WI

The Police's guitarist Andy Summers spoke to Andrea Ho ahead of his solo tour.

When Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers formed the Police, none of them could have predicted the phenomenon that they would become. In Episode Two, we follow the band from the start of that journey to their world-dominating peak. In 5 years, they'll go from grubby bars to the home of arena rock - Shea Stadium. Along the way, they'll produce some of the defining hits of a generation. But as Sting asserts himself as a songwriter, tensions brew… and something has to give. Featuring rare BBC archive, expert interviews and iconic tunes, this is your window into the blend of genius and hard work that propelled Sting and the Police to the top of the charts around the globe. A Cup and Nuzzle Production. Written and produced by Joe Foley.

Frank, this one is for you... A wise one once said that great things come in threes, at least I think that is what they said. We do have plenty of evidence to prove it; the Nasty Boys couldn't be hit, the Fat Boys could always drop a beat, the Police are one of the best selling bands of all time, and the RPGrinders are the greatest trio of video game/skeptic podcasters!  Like a Message in a Bottle a new wave of news has more than one story to tell. At least, no one will have to wait as long for these upcoming releases than for a bottle to float across the ocean. Rocket Knight Adventures Re-Sparked will be releasing in June, while Gundam Breakers 4 gets an August release, and Reynatis arrives just in time for Fall.  Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland were a band with an unfortunate name. As there is no group that has featured in the Stinkos more prominently than the actual police! Can the cops even go a week without murdering an innocent civilian? I don't know but I bet the Police would make better law enforcement.   The Driver's Seat is back and this time Frank is at the wheel and a fully loaded trunk. The police (not the Police) and A.I. way heavily on Frank's mind. We already know we can't trust the police (you can probably trust the Police) but can we trust A.I.? Is Every Breath You Take being watched by the machines? Will the computer overlords deem humanity a threat? Will A.I. attack humanity and can humanity survive the Fall Out? Is A.I. as big a threat as Frank believes? Or are Break and Eric right to be excited for a future living side by side a brand-new life form and friend?  I want to wish a special thank you to the Police. I mean this from the bottom of my heart: please don't sue me. I also want to apologize to Frank because I couldn't figure out how to work Roxanne into this in any other way than this. The same for Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, but I worked this song in for me.    Every little thing she does is magic. Everything she do just turns me on. Even though my life before was tragic. Now I know my love for her goes on.                   The Gentleman Pervert says please before he flashes strangers. The Gentleman Pervert always washes his hands before and after groping random women.  The Gentleman Pervert thanks the women after peeping in their windows.  The Gentleman Pervert washes, folds, and returns all of the panties he steals. He even leaves an apology note.

Born in 1952, in Virginia, Stewart Copeland - the son of a CIA agent - spent his formative years in the Middle East but attended college in California before settling in England in 1975. He joined the progressive rock outfit Curved Air, working first as their road manager then as their drummer. In early 77, he founded the Police with singer/bassist Sting and guitarist Henri Padovani (soon replaced by Andy Summers). Their first hit, 79's "Roxanne," set the course for huge success to follow. The trio emerged as one of the most popular and innovative bands of the post-punk era, drawing upon reggae, funk, and world music to create a uniquely infectious yet cerebral brand of pop which generated a series of smash singles including "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," "Every Breath You Take," and "King of Pain." While with the Police, Steward also issued a solo record under the alias Klark Kent. This not only earned him wide critical acclaim for his intricate, textured drum work, but also for his songwriting as he contributed many of the group's songs. When the Police officially disbanded in 1986, the band was still at their commercial peak. Disagreements betwenn members had caused the trio's collapse and Stewart took to composing film scores, earning himself a Golden Globe nomination. He increasingly spent more time on film scores. In 2002, Stewart formed a new rock-oriented project, Oysterhead - a power trio supergroup. A year later he produced and directed Everyone Stares, a documentary film about his time in the Police. In 2007, Stewart reunited with his former bandmates to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Stewart also wrote his memoir, Strange Things Happen: A Life with The Police, Polo, and Pygmies at this time. In 2021, Stewart collaborated on the instrumental 'Divine Tides'. The album won the 2022 Grammy Award for Best New Age Album, giving Copeland his first Grammy win outside of the five he earned as a member of the Police.  He also released 'Police Deranged for Orchestra' where he reworked Police hits for an orchestra. In 2023, he published Stewart Copeland's Police Diaries, a book based on his original diary entries from 1976-1979. This week Stewart Copeland joins us to regale us with his many stories.

He's quite a character!

Famed drummer for the Police and composer Stewart Copeland has one of the more fascinating bios in modern music. His father was a founding member of the CIA and his mom worked in British Intelligence. After playing in the successful UK prog rock band Curved Air in the mid 70s, Stewart started a new band called the Police with bassist and lead singer, Sting—and eventually guitarist Andy Summers. Over the next decade the Police would go on to become one of the top-selling rock bands of all time, selling over 75 million records. Last year Stewart released the book, “Stewart Copeland's Police Diaries,” which includes his personal notes dating back to the band's formation in 1976 through 1978, when they started to take off. On today's episode Bruce Headlam talks to Stewart Copeland about the first time he saw Sting play and how he was able to successfully lure him into his then non-existent band. Stewart also explains why he and Sting eventually had a musical falling out, and how the Arabic rhythms he heard growing up influenced his highly lauded drumming style.

Welcome to a Very Special Episode of the podcast celebrating the show's 3rd Anniversary! I started the podcast in March 2021 during the depths of the pandemic, when musicians like me couldn't play live. It was a bleak time for all of us. I needed to find a creative outlet and so I started this podcast. From the beginning it grew quickly and exponentially. It's been ranked for some time now in the Top 1% of all podcasts. I have listeners worldwide on every continent in 200 countries, and it has won several awards! My guests have included many of the world's most famous musicians and other creatives.Last year to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary I played excerpts from several guest interviews. But for this 3rd Anniversary show I wanted to do something different - and fun. So here's what I decided. After each interview I ask my guest to record a short promo for the podcast. I use these promos at the beginning of other guest interviews. Everyone does their promo a little differently in their own style. After all, they're artists! So I thought it would be fun to put together a montage of promos featuring a slew of my guests. The entire list is below.I want to thank my guests and my listeners for the success of the podcast. As I like to say - Keep On Rockin'! Featured Guests:"Cousin Brucie" Morrow, John Lodge, Ted Nugent, Al Kooper, Gary Puckett, Suzi Quatro, Tony Orlando, William Lee Golden, Richie Furay, Peter Noone, Timothy B.

Chris Goes Down a Guided by Voices rabbit hole. We talk  indie music festivals.  John comes up with a theme Song. We learn how MJ acquired the Beatles Catalog. We get to the bottom of who is older Andy Summers or George Harrison. Lew Grade is two faced.

Did MTV make Duran Duran, or did Duran Duran make MTV?  Perhaps a little of both.  What is beyond doubt is that Rio, the band's second studio album, would propel Duran Duran into a worldwide new wave and dance phenomenon, and would be a major offensive of the Second British Invasion in the United States.Duran Duran had found success in the UK with their self-titled debut album in 1981, and expectations were high for the group.  Rio would find the band leaning heavily on upbeat tracks, a couple of synth-heavy ballads, and more experimentation with musical sounds and instruments than their first album.  Many tracks also had accompanying videos, leaning into the MTV market.  The photogenic appeal of the band also bolstered the popularity of their videos.Critics were neutral to negative on the album when released, but the commercial appeal was stunning.  Duran Duran would dominate American charts from the back half of 1982 throughout 1983, and the band would become an icon of 1980's music.The album was released in May of 1982, but was recorded in January through March of 1982, resulting in our placement of the album in this month. Brian joins us in Wayne's absence, while Rob brings us this iconic New Wave album for today's podcastRioThe title track was the third single released from the album.  Bassist John Taylor came up with the title, reflecting optimism and an exotic feel for the album.  Sounds at the start of the song were created by throwing small metal rods onto the strings of a grand piano.  Andy Hamilton is the saxophone soloist on this track.New ReligionThis deeper cut leads off side two of the album, and is a dialogue between the ego and the alter-ego, featuring conflicting voices in the chorus.  The song is a bit darker than others on the album.  "I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself - It's a new religion.  I've something to see, I can't help myself - It's a new religion."Last Chance  on the StairwayAnother deeper cut, the lyrics to this song talk about taking chances and testing limits.  "And please don't say leave till later, I've had my last chance on the stairway."Save a PrayerThis ballad was Duran Duran's biggest hit in the UK at the time, though not originally released as a single in the US.  The lyrics depict two strangers falling into a one-night stand, living in the moment and letting the consequences wait for a later time.  The synthesizers create a beautiful but haunting sonic landscape. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main Theme from the motion picture “The Thing”Not to be confused with the Fantastic Four character, this John Carpenter film depicts a research team in Antarctica encountering a hostile extraterrestrial who can assimilate then imitate humans. STAFF PICKS:Leather and Lace by Don Henley and Stevie Nicks Brian brings us a duet from alumni of the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac.  Stevie Nicks wrote this song about a relationship between two very different individuals, based on her own experiences in relationships with both Don Henley and fellow Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham.Love is Like a Rock by Donnie IrisBruce features the second single from Iris's second album, "King Cool."  It has an infectious riff.  It went to number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The song originated as an instrumental jam, with lyrics added afterwards.Physical by Olivia Newton-John While Lynch takes some grief for bringing such a pop song into this rock broadcast, the single was a monster hit in the 80's.  While the video would portray scenes of exercise in the gym, the lyrics were considered much more sexual and controversial at the time.Addicted by Le Roux Rob closes out the staff picks with a rocking hit lost in time.  Le Roux is a band from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  Roux is a cajun thickening base for gumbo. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:I Advance Masked by Andy Summers & Robert FrippPolice guitarist Andy Summers and long time King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp had this instrumental rock track out on which we end the podcast.

The Police drummer waives his rights and confesses to fracturing Sting's rib over a copy of the New York Times; how many more albums the band could have cranked out if they hadn't spilt up in 1986; and why it was necessary to call 911 when Cream drummer Ginger Baker paid a noisy visit to Stewart's Sacred Grove Studio.
