The Police founder/drummer STEWART COPELAND was interviewed on the January 11th, 1990 of LATER WITH BOB COSTAS. A truly fascinating interview about his upbringing with a father in the CIA raised as an American in Beirut, Syria and Lebanon. Copeland explains he feels more American because he was raised American outside of the U.S., Curved Air, Punk ethic versus success,U.S. foreign policy, meeting Sting, Animal Logic, Stanley Clarke, his opera "Holy Blood Crescent Moon" that debuted in Cleveland (I have a single camera master video of the premiere...one clip is on RU-vid).

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

@riproar11 Год назад

"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.

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!

I have several rare clips posted from 1989 when he premiered his Opera in Cleveland you light like in my Police playlist

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

@ggghhhbbnjjjbb2330 4 месяца назад

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.

@ggghhhbbnjjjbb2330 3 месяца назад

@@RobotWillie Sorry to hear he has a 'woke' history. I've had it with ALL of that BS. A lot of his generation were brainwashed by media with none of the push-back we're starting to see these days.

Stewart has a Zappa vibe when interviewed: Intelligent, eloquent.

@AndrewGrey22 2 года назад

He talks like a lot of guys from the 60s and 70s. It was different. Yeah very similar to Frank.

Zappa's father also worked in military intelligence.

11:04 that was my life exactly. Overseas as an American all my life until 18. Identical except different countries.

@waitindelaney 2 года назад

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.

Copeland in his natural darker brown hair. Always a handsome man.

@billjoe39 Год назад

Makes you wonder why 'the police' had to mimic the Hitler Youth look in their earlier days.....and woody allen is handsome too!

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.

@garysibley4741 2 года назад

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.

Miles is his brother, not his father

@guLizaah Год назад

His father is Miles Axe Copeland Jr., the 2nd of his name, his eldest is Miles Copeland III, Stewart's brother. Miles III's eldest is Miles IV. It's a family tradition to name their eldest Miles.

@tinfoilhatter 2 года назад

i noticed that too...and thank goodness, right? a 'pakistani nanny', may have changed the world, in ways we may or may not even wanna know, so-to-speak, hahah... but i actually knew a guy from poki-ston, and he was a great guy, so that was just a joke- nothing against pakistan, pakistanis, or anyone, [but it's just that we never know the scope, effects, or the ramifications of our early influences, until much, much later, if ever, right?]

@daniellarge9784 4 месяца назад

That's what he said. Palestinian.

@WJSpies Год назад

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)

@antispindr8613 Месяц назад

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

(CIA dot GOV) Jazz, Spies and Games: The Extraordinary Life of CIA Founding Member Miles Copeland April 27, 2023 "Miles Axe Copeland Jr. was a highly intelligent, yet rambunctious founding member of the Central Intelligence Agency. It was most likely these qualities that opened the door to the spy agency at a time when most employees relied on their Ivy League educations for acceptance. The fact that he could speak ten languages, including Arabic and French, also helped. "Miles’ first love was jazz, and he made a successful early career as a musician. His sons followed in his musical footsteps, including Stewart Copeland, the drummer for Sting and the Police." 11:42 Bob Costas: "Your dad, Miles Copeland, was in the CIA." Stewart Copeland: "That's right. He was one of the founder members, as a matter of fact. Of course I didn't know anything about this until I was in college."

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.
