review 1: It's no secret to anyone who knows me how much I love The Police and how I think Stewart Copeland is the greatest drummer to ever walk the earth. Well, Stewart is also an accomplished Composer and Film-maker and now he can added accomplished writer to his line of credits. Part bio and part set of musings, this is a nice look at the background to one of my heroes. Not sure how much anyone who is not a fan of Stewart's or the Police will enjoy it, but for me, this was required reading.
review 2: Copeland's memoir is a loosely connected series of vignettes that follow the unusual trajectory of the musician's life. I approached this book as a fan of The Police, but came away a fan of Stewart Copeland. I enjoyed the brutally honest perspective on his role in the Pol... moreice and love/hate relationship with Sting. Other than a truly hilarious moment involving a tuba, the best parts of the book had nothing to do with The Police and everything to do with Copeland following his gut and his heart wherever it led - however strange. The author is undoubtedly a talented musician, but he is also a hell of a writer. I thoroughly enjoyed his memoir and hope he adds writing to his future creative endeavors! less
