This guy is the best. He isn't fake, no pandering, just real.

Stewart is always humorous whenever communicating. He's a real intellectual when it comes to music, and life. And I have more clarity as to why Sting and Stewart had so much friction between them in the early days. Sting wanted more serenity in the music, whereas Stewart was more of the "clatter boom and bang", which always disturbed Sting's serenity in the music. Also Sting would rarely allow the other members actual songwriting credits of their own during their successful period. This was a great interview!

The guy is an entertainer. Even in a simple interview he puts out. Some just have it in the blood.

James Reeno success is when preparation and opportunity meet. But you don't find it sitting at home. You gotta be available.

I used to be a radio engineer, and once in a very great while I'd get to mix some music. And there were a few times when the mixing process _became an instrument itself_, jamming along with the piano and the banjo and the congas and the kazoo and the bagpipe and the guy banging on an ashtray with a fork. Those were some pretty transcendent experiences!

Miles Copeland’s trumpet is Stewart’s prized possession. He said that in some interview I saw.

"He's such a good kook and a genius."I totally love him! ( :

Amazing and fascinating video! Stewart has always been a favorite of mine, both as drummer and composer. Kudos!

🎶 “I’ve loved you since I knew ya, ...🎵”. Stewart Copeland is so awesome. Crushing on him since 1985.

That Sting and Stewart could ever be in a band together is even more miraculous than the bands success.
