Stewart Copeland - Strange Things Happen
One of the world’s most influential drummers and one my favorite musicians has an interesting autobiography now available.
While Stewart and his publishing company are engaged with a full blown marketing campaign regarding his new publication, I was lucky enough to have a trio of questions answered by the man himself.

So selfish of me huh?
I figure we should enjoy these moments while we...

My eyes couldn’t help but focus on their monumental ‘Claw’ set.
Lovingly dubbed the Claw by the band and the army of crew members needed to erect it on a nightly basis, the stage — anchored in the middle of the field — features a giant...
