STEWART COPELAND

Just saw someone mention on Twitter -- ETA: and just now realizing I'm an hour late -- but in case it's still possibly on:

Stewart Copeland on These Days at 10am. He's here for La Jolla Summerfest with a world premiere commission. 89.5FM

Otherwise, alas.



ETA: Scrap all that. Link with audio (playable online and downloadable):

About half an hour long. I haven't listened.

Forget what I said earlier. As edited above, here's a link to SC interviewed on radio show These Days:

Can listen online or download mp3.

Great interview! Thanks for finding it and sharing, DM.

I'm only partway through listening, but I think you guys will really enjoy this. Some familiar material to many here at times, but really funny, especially when he gets going. Maureen Cavanaugh has some nice questions and observations.

I finally listened to and read this interview. Great interview.

Thanks for the interview! I really enjoyed listening to what the maestro had to say. Funny too.

Good material.
I use it for studying English.
Thanks.
Best!
