  In 1984 I met Stewart Copland when I was 13 in Sardi&apos;s Restaurant in NYC. I was listening to The Police all the time because of my older sister being obsessed. She was so jealous. I was there with my dad and his girlfriend. I walked up to his table, he was with around 7-8 other people, sitting at the end of the table and he was wearing the cheesiest tie he probably bought at Spencer&apos;s Gift store in a mall, a skinny little silk tie with keyboard keys on it. &nbsp;I just walked up alone as a kid and said &quot;your&apos;e Stewart Copland&quot; and the whole table went silent. He said &quot;yes , I am&quot;. I nodded my head in approval and impressed with myself for recognizing him and said &quot;I love your music&quot;. He asked if I had a favorite album and I replied &quot;Zenyatta Mondatta&quot;. He made a face of approval of my knowledge at such a young age. I shook his hand then I walked back to our table, never asking for a signature. His table proceeded to talk about a young kid knowing who The Police were. It was pretty fucking cool as a kid.

  Copeland, Summers &amp; Sting are all musical geniuses. The Police are timeless!

  My favorite, contrarian, grumpy, foulmouthed drummer. &nbsp;G-D Bless you Stewart!

  I love how Sting sort of has this aura around him, and then you&apos;ve got Stewart, who just can&apos;t be bothered with being precious about a damn thing.

  Copeland is what It would happen if Doc Emmett Brown&apos;s younger brother decided to dedicate his life to music instead of science.

  It&apos;s validating to know that when you&apos;re 14, which I was in 1978, and you immediately latch on to the Police and they are instantly your favorite band, then years later you realize that you nailed it from the start as them being one of the best ever.

  “Walk Like an Egyptian” was released only due to the insistence of Miles Copeland.

  Stewart is such a cool cat. &nbsp;I would love to just sit and drink a beer with him while he talks about anything music.
