Stewart in Germany (Ibbenbüren)
by Ruediger Hoeckel 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

Hi folks, although Stewart's appearance at Germany's biggest music store "Musik Produktiv" in IbbenbÃ¼ren-Laggenbeck was shorter than planned (he already left at 5 PM) it was a unique chance to meet this extraordinary guy. Below are the links for the newspaper articles I have scanned: (funny that BOTH articles have the wrong christan name in the headline -> Steve/Steward) IbbenbÃ¼rener Volkszeitung 23.07.02 http://mitglied.lycos.de/rhoeckel/020722ivz.jpg -> yes, that's me on the picture...(but as usual on snapshots I look so dumb...:-( typically for me, I always close my eyes when pictures are being taken, grrrrrrr. Anyway, I will go to the newspaper office today and ask for the two pictures which were taken...I hope the other one is a bit better though. BTW, the article says that he signed ALL of my records and books... Fact is that he signed just 4 items (one 7"/12"/CD/book each). WestfÃ¤lische Nachrichten 23.07.02 http://mitglied.lycos.de/rhoeckel/020722ivz.jpg For all the non-German speaking fans I'd like to sum up the most important news: * As far as Stewart remembers this was his first signing occasion at all. * Stewart still has two big wishes on his mind: He'd like to buy a) a certain amplifier b) a Rolls Royce car (so far his wife has always kept him from doing so) * For his own career a nomination for an academy award would be a goal to achieve. * One article claimed that he had SEVEN children...I doubt that this is true...can anyone give a summary of his children? * He is still in contact with Sting Andy: Often he plays Tennis with Andy and always wins. * Sting is organizing a big birthday party for Stewart in September. [My guess is that both of them are going to celebrate their 50th birthday as Sting couldn't do this last year because of the Sep 11th attacks.] * He claimed to be quite regularly in Germany. [Mmh, I must be blind and deaf at the same time...is he travelling undercover or what?] He enjoyed staying in Germany as the German people were cool. Just the German coffee was to strong for him. OK, from my personal point of view I have to say that Stewart's attitude was really positive, sympathetic and warm. One had the impression that you would meet an old friend - no "star" behaviour at all. When signing my items I brought with me he was especially interested in the UK 12" single of "The Equalizer Busy Equalizing": "Ok, I've never seen this one before...is it a bootleg or what?" As I denied he took a look at the back sleeve and found the I.R.S. Records logo at the bottom: "Oh, I see...yes, my brother always rips me off." He was also surprised to see my CD copy of the Frolkhaven album. He said that he was still in touch with Charles Pendergrass III. (although that is of course not the real name). When talking about Oysterhead his eyes widened and you could see how much he enjoys playing in this group. So far no plans for concerts in Europe have been made as both Les Claypool and Trey Anastasio are quite busy at the moment with their own projects and bands ("Also, I can't afford it to bring them over..."). But they might talk about touring Europe when the next Phish tour is over... BTW, it was also nice to see some familiar faces at Musik Produktiv: Dodo, Sabine, Dietmar, Jost, Volker and the 3 guys of "Europe's finest Police coverband" REGGATTA DE BLANC.

Stewart Copeland in Cologne
by Martin Nickel 23 Jul '02

23 Jul '02

Ciao tutti ! today Stewart visited the Drumcenter in Cologne. I couldn't make it but my girlfriend was there with about 20 other people. Stewart was very kind, signed everything, fullfilled every wish, but he didn't play any drums. He was asked to play the drums but unfortunately he denied. Regarding the remixes he told that Sting and Andy didn't like them and therefore did not give their permission. [I better don't say in public what I think about many of Sting's remixes ;-)] But Stewart said he might put them on the internet. So let's hope for that. It was funny that he signed the Klark Kent 10" with "Klark Copeland" ;-) That's it from Cologne Cheers, Piedpiper & Mamarazza __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

The Sumners, a wholly-owned subsidiary of People Magazine....

Well, they're in it again! First there's a picture of Sting, Trudie and his daughter Katherine at a show during fashion week in Paris, with the caption, "Jean Paul Gaultier's quirky collection, including a crocodile coat with tail, wowed Sting, daughter Katherine, 20, and wife Trudie Styler." Katherine is a clone of his first wife, btw. Then, on the back page, there's a blurb entitled "A Sense of Styler", and the following anecdote: In the drama "Me Without You " Trudie Styler plays a neurotic mom whose risqué frocks would embarrass most kids. Her own fashion sense can exasperate her brood. "When my daughter Mickey [now 18] was much younger, I went to her school in a leather-studded jacket," says Styler, 48, who has four kids, aged 6 to 18, with hubby Sting. "It was pretty 'out there'. I had an appointment to see the headmistress, and my daughter saw me in the corridor. She took one look at me and hissed, 'Get that off!' And being petrified of my young daughter, I did." Well, I guess that's all till next week! ;-) Have a great one! Holly

Stewart Copeland in Ibbenbüren

...and Stewart arrived in Germany. Very few people were there so each one of them could talk as much with Stewart as he liked. He seems to be a nice normal guy. No need to get excited, but my hands were shaking anyway. Doesn't look too old. He didn't play any drums. Promoting TAMA drums this seemed a little strange to me. Now what's left to see is the Police in one final concert. Dietmar

RE: [Police] Looking for: Santa's Boyfriend CD

After viewing the CD Baby site, I think it's safe to say that they haven't even gotten the CD's to sell yet, so just keep checking the site. I'll check it daily, because I want one too! Don in Sunny Florida -----Original Message----- From: werner.burkhart(a)web.de [mailto:werner.burkhart@web.de] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 6:24 AM To: Police Subject: [Police] Looking for: Santa's Boyfriend CD Hi all, I wanted to order today and noticed that the stock of Santa's Boyfriend CDs run out at CD Baby... Does anyone have info on another source for the CD? I'd also look for a used copy.
