Thank you, Bjork. I'm actually curious that nobody has seen this film... Well, it’s not super famous, but at the time it was presented at Cannes, won some kind of award, and they even aired it on TV...

On YouTube, there are a few videos... From what I've heard, I quote Azzo...

No Iside, don’t worry... Remember? I only go to the demeeting you organize...

SanJURO... The one with the javelin up his backside...

Hello hello, debasers. @Odradek: sounds good for a beer, I’ll give you a call. Actually, you know what I’ll do? I’ll call Iside, Hugoniot, and Charley too. Sanjuro, on the other hand, seems to be unreachable. What a shame...

DONGIO?!?

Copeland may have been passionate about Caribbean rhythms, but with the Police he wanted to play punk. Sting played not as a hobby, but as a profession (he also taught at an elementary school) in a jazz fusion group called, if I'm not mistaken, "No Exit." The fact remains that the early songs of the Police are the work of Sting. And if someone writes lyrics and melody, they must also have the rhythm in mind. Of course, I don't mean to downplay the contribution of the other two... I don't remember the soundtrack of "Rusty...", but I do remember another soundtrack by Copeland. A track written with Glenn Frey titled "The Heat Is On" for the film "Beverly Hills Cop (I don't remember the number)." Stuff that you can now only find in "Hot Shots."

The "Police style" of "Reggatta," that inimitable one even by the Police themselves, is Copeland-Summers." ---> And who told you that? Excuse me, but who wrote "Roxanne"? Sting wrote it. And "Bring on the night," and "So lonely"? Also Sting. Orpello? I don't think so... By the way, Copeland wanted to play punk in '77. So he wanted to "ride the wave." In many interviews, he stated that during that time, he took Sting to concerts, for example, the Sex Pistols, hoping he would fall in love with that music. According to Copeland, Sting liked the energy but not the music... Copeland didn’t care about reggae at all. He wanted to play hard, dirty, and fast. Furthermore, if it were up to Copeland, Summers would have been kicked out of the band before "outlandos...". At first, the Police were a quartet. Besides the three blondes, there was a guitarist named Padovani. At one point, Summers said: "Enough! That Padovani can't play. It's either me or him!" Copeland would have kicked Summers out because he was ten years older than the others and didn’t have the punk look that was so trendy. Sting, on the other hand, wanted to kick out Padovani because, although he had the perfect punk look, he indeed couldn’t play. Fortunately, Sting prevailed. Finally, I’m going by memory, but I only remember one song entirely written by Copeland, "Miss Gradenko," and one entirely written by Summers, "Mother." Neither of those two tracks has traces of the "Police style" that you miss... Anyway, Nero, you don't like the Police; you like Copeland's drumming. Here’s an unsolicited advice: don’t listen to Sting’s albums and seek out those where Copeland played... But be careful: there are some really awful ones; if you want, I can tell you a couple. Bye.

What do you mean?

You say I overdid it? Well, maybe I did, come on... But if I did, I did it for the greater good... :-)
