I've been taking lots of moments of silence. I am still in disbelief. I've always had much respect for Ian due to different things I had heard about him. After reading a couple of obits, I'm in awe that he was behind so many of my favorite 80's bands. I knew of the link prior to this for probably half of them, but just realized that I was totally smitten with most of those Copeland brothers' artists/bands. Gotta have a rum and coke in Ian's honor as well, so cheers, and RIP, Ian.

The Wild Thing is gone. RIP Ian
by Maggie White 25 May '06

'Wild Thing' author Copeland dies of cancer By Maggie Large TELEGRAPH STAFF WRITER Ian Copeland, founder of Frontier Booking International and brother to Police drummer Stewart Copeland, died Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Copeland, 57, had melanoma. Copeland came to Macon in the 1970s from London to work for Paragon Agency, the booking agency affiliated with Capricorn Records. He later married Connie Walden, now Connie Roberts of Jones County. They had two children, Chandra, 31 and Barbara, 26, and divorced after 12 years of marriage, Roberts said. His agency represented new-wave and alternative acts like Joan Jett, R.E.M., Squeeze, The Police, The Go-Gos and many others. In 1995 Copeland wrote his autobiography, "Wild Thing," which detailed his life from his childhood in Damascus to his Macon days working at Paragon and later for himself all over the world. In recent years he owned the Backstage CafÂ¢Â® in Beverly Hills. Funeral arrangements are pending. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Andy Summers in Acoustic Guitar Magazine
by Sweetmomb＠cs.com 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hi Everyone! My husband subscribes to Acoustic Guitar Magazine, and Andy is the cover story! It shows him posing with his self-designed Martin signature series Andy Summers guitar. There are several more pictures and a long article full of very technical stuff that I'm sure my husband would love to explain to me in minute detail, but... I'm an afficionado, not a guitarist! There was a very interesting mention, in a little blurb attached to the article, of a cover of EBYT, and I'll quote it here: "Police songs have been covered by everyone from Alanis Morrisette and Anthrax to UB40 and frank Zappa. 'Recently I got this album, Policia,' (The Militia Group, www.themilitiagroup.com) Summers says. 'It has about 12 different bands doing Police covers. My one criticism of the record is that it gets too heavy, so all the subtlety and all the little weird stuff we did gets lost in this massive, sheet-of-sound modern production. But there's a version of EBYT on there (by an English band called, ironically, Copeland) that is really fantastic. They do it slowly, like a ballad, and they've completely reharmonized it. It's a knockout. I might actually write to these guys and say congratulations.'" Has anyone heard this cover? Sounds intriguing! Also, the magazine always gives free tabs for guitarists to try, and this issue includes "World Gone Strange" and "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic." It's an interesting article and a beautiful guitar, so check it out! Have a great week! Holly

Yes Same effect on me ... I think he simply took great time playing with the boys after a 2 year breakup.... there was so much energy at this concert that one can regret that they did not do a last farewell tour .... but never say never as Sting say... though I really doubt about it !! So play again this 1986 gigs ! don't be nostalgic and simply enjoy Michel ---------- Initial Header ----------- From : police-bounces+cillae=tiscali.fr(a)mailman.xmission.com To : police(a)mailman.xmission.com Cc : Date : Tue, 23 May 2006 09:06:38 -0700 (PDT) Subject : [Police] angry sting vs. yoga sting a few nites ago, I watched the police's "amnesty" set at the meadowlands, june 1986. while i have watched it multiple times, with this viewing i finally was struck with just how much energy and attitude sting played with tha nite. (remember, he had been out on the road with TDOTBT band for several months by this point. watch 'bring on the night' - he does NOT play with the fire he played on that june '86 nite). and while i picked this up for the 1st time, one thing resonates with every viewing...depression... best, rich --- Stingfan222(a)aol.com wrote: > Me too.

Me too. I prefer angry Sting's music, and yoga Sting's "persona". I couldn't stand his public persona in the early years----breaking up the best band on earth, but still stuck w/him despite the antics. I do love to see him smile and actually look happy now. I think I recall one of his quotes that said he finally realized he doesn't have to be unhappy to write good music--- but I'd debate that one. Yes, I like his music now, but given the option, give me that opinionated pain in the arse back! Yeah, yeah, he's growing, we're growing. I can open my mind to lute music, but I like what I like! ; ) Michelle in tx In a message dated 5/22/06 11:53:09 PM, kinetickid(a)yahoo.com writes: > It's really weird when you compare Sting today and > Sting back then.

28-08-1980 / Fréjus / Les Arènes / FRANCE
by Kinetic Kid 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hey everyone, I was always thought that this show "28-08-1980 / FrÃ©jus / Les ArÃ¨nes / FRANCE" was possibly one of the best captured live performance show the Police have ever played and the sound was very good. If you are going to be offended, please do not read the following please. But i am always curious to know what an artist says during a show, even if they express vulgarities like the following ... I have finally figured out what Sting says before he went playing Do do do Da da da. Thanks to Rogiers page i figured out the first part but the last part was not clear until i repeated it a few times. He said the words "The cunt who threw the mud at me, I'd like to rip his fucking arms off. If you are French [??]". That last part was " If you are french ... Va t'enculer !" Which means Go F*** yourself. It's really weird when you compare Sting today and Sting back then. It's 2 different people ... Angry Sting and Mellow yoga Sting. I personnally prefer angry Sting, songs were better and sung with more attitude. If anyone has the whole show on video and audio, please let me know. I would really like to have a copy of it. I only bits and pieces of the show on video, but i know the whole show exists on audio. Cheers, Kinetic Kid __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Please keep Ian Copeland in your thoughts
by Maggie White 19 May '06

His battle with cancer is apparently not going well. Here's what Miles posted on Ian's MB: "Many of you may not know this but my brother Ian is very ill with cancer and it's not looking good. Stewart and I plus our Mother are here in LA with him and his two daughters at this difficult time. I am sure this news will be devastating to many of you as it was to all of us. This is the reason Ian has been unable to contribute to this message board for a while. I have joined the site to keep the lines of communication open with all of you who have been on the site so long. I will check the site often and hopefully be able to respond with an approximation of the flair of my brother. Miles Copeland" For both is daughters to be at his side is very telling - Barbara travels world-wide with Mile's bellydancing troup and Chandra lives in New Zealand. If they are with Ian, there's a reason. He's also getting a lot of messages on his MB from people he used to work with. The word is out that he might not make it. I can't even begin to describe what I feel. Please, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Let other Police fans know that he needs our support, no matter how small. Visit Ian's MB at www.backstagecafe.com Click on Ask Uncle Ian. For me, he was always a 4th member of the band. --------------------------------- Be a chatter box.
