Courtesy
of HarperStudio and Stewart Copeland ThePolice.com have ten signed galley copies
of Stewart's forthcoming autobiography "Strange Things Happen: A Life
with "The Police", Polo and Pygmies" to give away in a prize draw for
Police.com members.
When Stewart Copeland gets dressed, he has an identity crisis.
Should he put on 'leather pants, hostile shirts and pointy shoes?' Or
wear something more appropriate to the 'tax-paying, property-owning,
investment-holding lotus eater' his success has allowed him to become?
This dilemma is at the heart of Copeland's vastly entertaining
memoir-in-stories-that-could-be-told-over-a-meal, "Strange Things
Happen". The world knows Copeland as the drummer for The Police, one of
the most successful bands in rock history. But they may not know much
about his childhood growing in the Middle East as the son of a CIA
agent. Or his film-making adventures with the Pygmies in the deepest
Congo. Or his passion for polo ('Brideshead Revisited on horses').
Stewart Copeland counts himself fortunate to have been the founder of
the most played and successful trio of the 1980s. More recently he has
travelled the world in search of exotic rhythms and musical
celebration, from mysterious Easter Island to Mozambique, and from the
outback of Australia to the remotest regions of the Congolese jungles.
