"When I bought my first house, my anger subsided a little bit." Love it.

"Wrapped Around Your Finger" should be one of The Police songs to go in the time capsule. That song has aged so well and I never tire of listening to it as I do with many other songs.

Copeland is one of the best all round.

He is a goddam gem. Love SC.

Haven't witnessed the whole interview since it was originally aired. In fact I still have it on a vhs tape transferred from Betamax. Thanks for posting!

That was really intersting to listen to SC.. Talking.. After decades.. That actually I did not Really.. Heard any interview of him.. Just Remembering Stewart as the police drummer.. And Nothing more.. I liked.. 🎉

actual interview starts at 2:48.

I was a recording engineer in the 80's in LA and I worked for two weeks with Stewart and his regular engineer Jeff on the Wall Street soundtrack. During mealtimes together, usually curry for dinner, he would regale us with stories of when they were in Beirut and the stuff they saw on the news he found out later was often instigated by his dad! He's a hoot!

Stuart sounds so brash here. Today he is a total different and wonderfully self aware person.

I wouldn't say he was brash at all. He sounded spot on to me. I was impressed by the presenter too. Being a Brit I don't know who he is or what the program was but by today's standards it seems impossibly SANE and intelligent.

@@ggghhhbbnjjjbb2330 Bob Costas is actually famous for being a sports broadcaster for baseball and NFL football as well here, and he was the main talking head for many of our Olympic Game broadcasts for the last few decades. So he is one of the more well known sports journalist for sure. But then he had this show which delves into other aspects of culture back in the late 80s and early 90s so its cool to see him outside of that space. My mom doesn't like him though, lol. But I can understand why, he has inserted politics into his reporting during sports games. Such as a speech he did on Monday Night Football during a Redskins game where he said their name was racist and it should be changed many years ago and now they have in fact changed their name even though almost no one likes their new name the Commanders either. So he likes to be controversial sometimes too. And I agree on Stewart, I have watched so many of his interviews that I think he seems more mellow in this one than usual even.

Yep, me too. Italy and Germany, until 1989. I really identified with what he said about feeling more American, being surrounded by non-Americans. When I finally moved to the States at 14, it seemed like all the kids my age had no idea or no appreciation for being American. I saw most of my classmates as these nihilistic, wasted youth who only wanted to do drugs and have sex, and ultimately committing slow suicide.

Chron Gen.. bloody great band

Those who are interested in the CIA story of Miles Copeland Jr. should listen to the Audible original "My Dad The Spy", where Stew uncovers the whole story. It's a fascinating bedtime listen.

Great video!

Copeland wrote the theme tune to the 80s TV show The Equaliser. All about an ex CIA agent , Robert McCall.

I loved the police from the first album its 1974 or 75 and i go to see them at the santla monica civic i got a bumper sticker that said "i support the police." Now im in high school in inglewood ca. And im black i know i cant put this sticker on my chevy chevelle i would get destroyed no one would understand so i kept the sticker hidden. But i went to all there shows . I came home with 2 blonde wigs from the police go platinum party. Stewarts brother had a bar in Beverly hills that had a wall with all there backstage passes on it . I loved that i collected them as well. Years later i walked with sting and trudi in venice for about 30 minutes to this day i dont know if it really happened or if i dreamed it.

That's what he said. Palestinian.

Original presenter seems 'off' - maybe a bit drunk or high - Copland a genius drummer by far in his own right.. however his self noted anger is always there (even if "subsided"). His mind works on another level, his anger drives his intelligence and resides on an animal level (so called lizard-logic of the mind)

With his anger and cold Lizard Mind, might it not be said that Copland was more evil than genius?

Growing up as a mega fan of The Police, I had no clue what the words of songs were or meants in general. I just loved the sound and it is just that, the sound that I have always appreciated in music.
