The Police special on LIFEGATE RADIO (Italy)

[giovanni]

Me again...tomorrow night I will be on LIFEGATE RADIO (see the link on the links section) for an hour special about The Police.
Of course I will talk about the reunion tour, about the past, about curiosities linked to the three members of the band, will put on some tracks (nothing illegal or unauthorised anyway) and I will talk about the book I wrote.

I think you can write messages while I'm there, so if you like to drop a line to say hi and let everybody know we're a 'big family' go on with it, ok?

See the link on the links section and you can hear the broadcast live!

I forgot to tell it will be broadcast live around midnight (Italian times).

Argh! I need to record this!

Did we miss it? I Googled and you're in GMT +1...which means it's 7 AM there now. So is it in 17 hours? I looked at your linked website and my Italian is terrible, I didn't see any way to email in questions...I tried, honest!

We were just discussing starting up a new effort to beg you to have that book translated into English for us to read. I would LOVE to. Oh, and any chance you'll get time (hahaha) to format the interview you did with Stewart on TV last year?

All I'm saying is if someone mails me the file on a DVD, I'll be glad to format/upload it in a way that everyone here can see it.

[ilbolchini]

Hey Dive, no you did not miss it, it's in about 12 hours from now.
The address should be rockfiles@lifegate.it

[giovanni]

yes, that's the right address to e-mail while I'm at the show....consider that the website broadcasting may start a few minutes later.... and it lasts about one hour.

As to the book, thanks a lot for your words; it's a candid view of the band from the inside, my inside, that means 'what I've been allowed to', not as inside as Stewart dvd of course...but not that far away I could say... everything I wrote comes mainly from Andy, Sting and Stewart tales (as, even real dinner tales!), and what I have understood about the band in 28 years of 'listening'.

And there is a special chapter, completely different from all of the other chapters, where 'I speak in first person', and tell my story about September 11th (I remember getting a personal mail from Janice Pendarvis where she said she was driven to tears reading it from my website years ago).

If you know anybody into the publishing world just get in touch..I should update it with what happened in 2006 (lute project and dvd from Stewart) and what will happen in 2007; I am already talking to my publisher for a new updated version in Italian by mid 2008...who knows maybe someone from US or UK might be interested?
Thanks for all your support!
