this made me smile

A few weeks ago when I was poking around for Police news, I found an old interview with Stewart. (Sorry, can't remember where I read this.)

He was saying that Sting always got mad at him for going too fast/rushing the beat. Stewart met one of Stings regular touring musicians and was told that all of Sting's drummers call [b]Sting[/b] "Mr. Rush", and complain about him doing the same thing.

I got the Live Aid DVD set for Christmas, and the other night I was watching the part with Sting and Phil Collins. They're doing a duet on EBYT, and about 1/2 way through the song Phil the drummer starts clapping the beat. He gets louder and louder with his clapping and then finally chuckles and gives up and starts clapping faster.

I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't read that interview with Stewart, but having that context and seeing that, it just made me laugh.

Silly, but I thought it was interestiing.
