Ever wonder why cops sometimes zig-zag when they are driving on the highway? Typically, the police are normal, law-abiding individuals who follow the same traffic laws as everyone else on the road. Though their cars and other vehicles might look a bit different depending on if they are undercover or not. Usually, their cars have the name of the area in which they are sworn to protect. However, there are times when cops and their cars act a bit different, and that is when they zig-zag on the freeway.

The Police‘s smash hit “Every Breath You Take” came to Sting in a rush of inspiration while visiting James Bond creator Ian Fleming’s Goldeneye resort in Jamaica. “I woke up in the middle of the night with that line – ‘every breath you take, every move you make, I’ll be watching you‘ – in my head,” Sting recalled in 1993. “I sat down at the piano and had written it in half an hour.” His initial demo of the song, which you can hear below, found Sting working alone at a Hammond organ in October 1982 inside London’s Utopia Studios. “The tune itself is generic, an aggregate of hundreds of others, ...

The Police had the biggest album of their career with Synchronicity and then it was all over. Guitarist Andy Summers says it’s a familiar tale which led to the group’s demise. “It’s the typical process where you become incredibly famous and they throw all of this money at you and then the rot sets in,” he laughs during a conversation with UCR. “It’s very hard to stay away from that.” Though he would have preferred a different ending, he’s remained in a constant creative state over the decades that have followed. Sometimes, one project will lead to another. That was the case last year when he p...

Stewart Copeland said he prefers life beyond the Police as he recalled disappointment over songs he’d brought to the band that didn’t make it into their catalog. But he admitted his writing style didn’t really match the trio’s musical approach, and said it had worked out for him in the long run. In a new interview with The Guardian, Copeland was asked about his song “I’m Blind,” which will be included in the box-set edition of Synchronicity but didn’t make the original cut.

Stewart Copeland said the Beatles’ movie Get Back led the Police to re-evaluate their past – and that’s why 1983 album Synchronicity will return in a 6-disc box set on July 26. The drummer, along with former colleagues Sting and Andy Summers, have often discussed their interpersonal issues that made some aspects of the band difficult to endure, even though they loved the music that came out of it. In a new interview with the Guardian, Copeland was asked why Synchronicity was returning at this particular time. “The Police had an epiphany courtesy of the Beatles’ documentary, Get Back,” he repli...

Sting says he wishes he'd written "many" of Sir Paul McCartney's songs. The 71-year-old former Police frontman was amazed when his 80-year-old hero said he wishes he'd penned his 1993 hit 'Fields Of Gold', and without naming any of McCartney's songs, he said the same goes for him. Sting told Music Week magazine: “I can't tell you how many songs of Paul McCartney's I wish I'd written. “So that was a lovely thing for Paul to say. But again, he's one of those people who inspired me to become a songwriter. He's from Liverpool, a working-class guy who conquered the world with his songs, so he gave ...
