Sting may have been the front man, but drummer Stewart Copeland was the heartbeat of The Police. In his new memoir Strange Things Happen Copeland talks about how the band’s creative friction helped sell over 50 million records. And he blows the cover on his father, who raised the young Copeland in Beirut while spying for the CIA.

Ditto to the above! Copeland is an extraordinarily bright person.Can't wait to read the book (his brother Miles wrote a cool book about their childhood,as well as the whole starting IRS record label,the "biz",etc.).Thank you for all te VERY interesting profiles!

I've been looking for the additional minutes of the Stewart Copeland interview -- you know, the part advertised on the radio show to be found only on the Studio360 site?

Could you help us out as to its whereabouts? Thanks!
