THANK YOU STEWART

[kypolicefan]

For never giving up. You always said "stay tuned" and always kept the positive glimmer of hope. I still can't believe I was able to take my wife to see The Police, what a dream come true.

You are the spirit behind the Police!!

Thank you!!!

To my friends Volker and Gio, "The Police are coming!" Can you believe it!!!!!!!

Sure, Stewart Copeland made it again with his band The Police, and as Lue Ann said before, the band is Stewart and his music friends...

[policerule]

[georgygirl]

Good joke policerule.

Anyway; smoking or not smoking, my toughts are the same as Lue Ann.

Just wanted to add my thanks. You really have been an inspiration to me for years. Your humor and your passion (evident in your playing) has really helped me get through some of the difficult periods of my life. And being on this forum, I see that I am not alone. People have drawn power and strength from you, be it to help them to get though serious diseases, bad personal situations, or just the harsh reality of life. I'm sure you probably had no idea the effect and impact your music would have to so many different people, but you really have. And we all thank you. Your lifetime of work and dedication has been deeply appreciated by us all.

I know this post is probably really "corny" but I just felt really compelled to post this. I was thinking of telling you this at your Guitar Center appearance, but thought I would be wasting too much time and maybe come off as too creepy: last year, I put my life and my career on hold to take care of my father who was dying. He had moved out from Wisconsin to Las Vegas to spend his final days with me and my family. It was very difficult. I had to take him to the hospital at least 3 times a week. Near the end, he could not walk, so I had to ambulate him around. Near the end, he really could not eat. He was essentially blind. So it was really a grinding task just making sure his most basic needs were met on a daily basis.

And for some reason, something that always managed to keep me going (at least somewhat), no matter how bad things were going was listening to your song "On Any Other Day." Not sure why this was. But it kept me going. Even after my dad could no longer hold on. You music really helped me endure the greatest tragedy my life has yet to endure.

Sorry for posting this overly dramatic post. I have just been kind of down recently as Saturday (9/8) was the one year anniversay on my dad's passing. Of course, I listened to "On Any Other Day" in tribute.

So, after 1000 posts of mostly absolute non-sense from me on this forum, I just wanted to post my most sincere thanks and appreciation to you. You have really made a personal difference in more lives than you probably will ever know. Thank you, Stewart.

Yeah, sorry to hear that, EQ. Went through something somewhat similar to you with my dad a little over 4 years ago. I know others here also have similar experiences. Stewart has definitely been a great source of strength in ways he'll never know.

It truly a selfless act of love you did
It is a difficult time.
Your father was in the best loving care he could get.
He spent he's final days surrounded by the love of his family.
My thoughts are with you EQ Conroy and Indygirl

[DirtyMartini]

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt post, EQ.


And as always, thank you, Stewart.

(((((((hugs Eq)))))))))))))

[Jennythenipper]

Gosh Eq. Hugs, indeed.

The police got me through High School. Not to be flippant after what Equalizer said, but if that were all, the Police would live in my heart forever. As it is, they are always there in the background, rocking, not sucking with age, just getting better and better.
