Saint John Bosco
Born: August 15th, 1815 Died: January 31st, 1888
Feast Day: January 31st
What he said
"Do you want our Lord to give you many graces? Visit him often."
What the world was like
John Bosco was born at the end of the War of 1812, which was between the United States and Great Britain. During his lifetime, the Gold Rush took place in California, encouraging many settlers to travel to and settle in the American west. Abraham Lincoln was president and the American Civil War was fought. Alaska was purchased from Russia. The first railroad linking eastern United States to California was completed. In other parts of the world, Ireland suffered the potato famine and the Suez Canal was opened.
The telephone, the light bulb, and the phonograph were all invented during John Bosco's lifetime. The first postage stamp was introduced. Anesthesia was used for the first time in an operation. The periodic table was discovered and the first construction of a steel-framed skyscraper was completed.
Who he was
John Bosco was born in Italy in 1815. His father died when he was only two years old. He lived on a farm with his mother and two brothers. Because John had to help take care of the sheep, he was not able to go to school full time. Although he had to work hard, he was happy and had a great imagination. He learned how to juggle and do acrobatics from circus performers and would often entertain others with his tricks. John Bosco would begin and end each performance with a prayer.
Even as a young boy, John Bosco wanted to become a priest. This seemed impossible because he was very poor and he lacked education. He was taught to read and write by a priest who recognized John Bosco's intelligence. Through the help of his mother, some kind neighbors, and money he earned doing various jobs, he was able to finish school and enter the seminary. As a seminarian, he spent his free time working with boys who were neglected and orphaned. He taught them religion, entertained them with his acrobatics, and told them stories that they could understand. He did not believe in punishment; he treated all with kindness and respect. John Bosco believed that God lived within each person he met and he treated each person with love.
At the age of twenty-six, John Bosco became a priest. He wanted to continue his work with neglected boys. He started a boarding school where these boys could live and learn the skills needed to make a living. With the help of a friend, John Bosco also started a home for poor neglected girls.
John Bosco founded an order of priests, the Society of St. Francis de Sales (Salesians), an order for women, the Daughters of Mary, Help of Christians, and an organization of lay people to help work with and teach the boys and girls.
What this saint means to us today
The schools that John Bosco began are still in evidence today and have spread all over the world. The Salesians continue to operate these schools, carrying on John Bosco's philosophy of education. John Bosco believed in teaching the skills necessary to enable young people to get jobs. This is still a focus of his schools today.Intermediate Activity

A title card after the credits reads: "It is written in the burning sands of the Sahara: When there is wrong, there will always be an El Khobar, the Avenger, riding with his Riffs to right it...." Although actress Allyn McLerie was cast as the second female lead, an April 1952 Hollywood Reporter news item reported that Valerie Bettis also tested for the part. Kathryn Grayson was borrowed from M-G-M, according to an April 1952 Hollywood Reporter news item. Portions of the film were shot in Yuma, AZ, according to a May 1952 Hollywood Reporter news item. The same item reported that stunt man Joe Smith died during filming. The Desert Song marked Rudi Fehr's first film as producer. For information on two earlier adaptations of the 1926 musical play The Desert Song, both of which were produced by Warner Bros., see entries for the title in AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1921-30 and AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1941-50.

I've been digging for new ways to monetizing my sites, specially considering the fact that most of them have thousands of published images and get tons of traffic from Google Images.
Recently the guys from Image Space Media contacted me asking to register with them. So I did.
I've used one of my major sites (one of those that gets a lot of traffic from G images) - Car Tuning Central and implemented the javascript as requested.
So far the results are not impressive but are pretty good.
Here are my thoughts about them:
- Less than 24 hours approval time (on a weekend)
- Less than 1 minute to implement Javascript
- Less than 3 hours to activate the ads
- Very quick load (you can check my site for details)
- Non-intrusive / discrete ads
- Adsense compliant
- Pretty cool CPC (depending on your traffic Geo source this might vary, but so far I have seen something in the 10 cents per click area)
- Didn't make any difference in my other revenue sources for that site
- Pretty cool reporting system - I particularly like the image reporting tool.
- Allows Non-English Websites
- Low CTR (I expected that), but that might happen when you have 5-10 images per page.
- You cannot monetize adult sites (not a problem to me anyhow)
- You can't monetize small thumbnails, only images that are larger than 200*100 (the vast majority though)
A great revenue addition!

If this powerful group's optimization efforts had grown at the samerate as the overall SEO industry, nearly every company would have deployed an effective strategy by now.
The number of Fortune 100 companies who deploy effective search engine optimization (SEO) techniques has tripled in the last two years, but only a scant few have well-optimized sites, according to analysis from Oneupweb.
The 2004 study of the first 100 companies in Fortune Magazine's Fortune 500 list revealed that only nine had definitive, ethical optimization campaigns – up from just three in 2002 – indicating that this powerful group may be missing out on valuable online market share.
Oneupweb president Lisa Wehr says the lag is an indication that SEO "simply hasn't been important enough to appear on their radar."
|Fortune 100 SEO Usage
|Effective SEO
|Some to moderate SEO
|No SEO
|Source: Oneupweb
In talking with clients, Wehr found that a number of other reasons could also be behind the Fortune 100's lack of a comprehensive SEO strategy. "They thought it was being done by another department," she said, adding that they also "thought their brand reputation would be all that was necessary."
Wehr clarified that the analyzed companies were not clients of Oneupweb, and therefore she couldn't comment on how their SEO strategies were organized, but she thought the Fortune 100 "didn't really understand the potential brand/market share and sales risk."
"However, in our experience working with clients, the most successful and savvy marketers are using SEO as part of an overall plan. Additionally, each brand is using SEO as part of its brand plan, fitting in appropriately to an overall brand plan," Wehr said.
Wehr also cited the lack of time to internally deploy an effective SEO strategy, along with the lack of budget for external help.
The study's methodology consisted of an analysis of ethical and unethical SEO methods used on companies' Web sites, as well as current Google positioning for each company's primary keywords. Oneupweb conducted individual searches to determine whether each company appeared in the top 10 or top 30 listings in Google.
Among the ethical methods were unique title tags, unique meta descriptions and meta tags, relevant body text, and anchor text containing primary keywords or phrases.
Oneupweb considered comment tag keyword-stuffing, invisible text or image links, spamming with non-relevant keywords or phrases, and cloaking [define] among the unethical SEO techniques.
The Oneupweb review found that nearly half of the Fortune 100 had some optimization in place, and about one-third of those appeared in the top 10 Google results for their prospective primary keywords.
Of the sites that had no optimization campaigns in place at all, only seven of those sites appeared in Google's top 10 listing for their respective primary keywords.
The report highlighted case studies for Cardinal Health (number 17 on the Fortune 100 list) and AutoNation (number 97), finding the companies missing from the top tiers of search results.
The study cites a Google search for "medical lab products" – one of Cardinal Health's primary business focuses – that landed the company at position 16. A more recent search didn't even find Cardinal Health anywhere on the pages of results, not even when "cardinal" was added to the "medical lab products" phrase.
Oneupweb's search for AutoNation's primary keywords – "pre-owned vehicles" or "used cars" – didn't find the company among the first 30 Google results.
The SEO and marketing firm expected that roughly 30 companies would have made significant optimization strides since its 2002 study, however, if the Fortune 100 had grown along with the SEO industry, 95 corporations should have had well-optimized sites by now.
Oneupweb remained optimistic about the Fortune 100's ability to come up to SEO speed, and expects the 2005 study to show significant gains. "We hope all of them are using SEO to some degree. In two years, the number using SEO well tripled. By next year we hope that number will have tripled again and 30 are using search engine optimization effectively on their corporate Web sites," said Wehr.

To gain more seats in Congress and get back into the White House, Republicans do not have to change their ideology, contrary to what some irritable pundits suggest.
Vigorously sniping at the other side is what our great democracy has become. Each side wants to win, and winning is what Americans are accustomed to. However, winning is apparently more important than working together to solve our common national/state problems.
Rush Limbaugh tells his followers to never apologize, to be stubborn and not show weakness. That might be appropriate in a war, but worthless in civil discourse, whether you live in D.C. or Sheboygan County. With the country split down the middle, isn't it obvious that one party is not better than another, that one party does not have the superior solutions?
How many politicians like John McCain and Russ Feingold have risked their seats to take a stand to try to solve real problems? From both parties we need brave problem solvers who will work with different ideas to find broader resolutions that embrace more citizens. It's called a compromise. If performed well in a civil manner, all parties are both equally happy and dissatisfied.
Let's demand that current politicians in our parties work across the aisle. If not, we don't vote for them when they're on the ballot again. Having sensible, civil politicians is a lot better than dealing with recurring obstructionism, blame, ultimatums, filibusters and condemnation without any measurable progress ahead.
In the next 18 months, Sheboygan County will be watching closely for your give-and-take on important votes. We expect you to not surrender to special interests and to consider the issues of those that didn't vote for you, even to the degree of courageously opposing the party line. That means you, Tammy Baldwin, Ron Johnson, and Tom Petri.

Tasting by Shape and Feel
Posted by Grape Adventures | Posted on 02-05-2015| Posted in
While attending a New Zealand wine seminar last year, I tweeted:
Nick describes his Rippon 2009 Pinot, "It has layered, linear feel & phenolic drive forward." #nzwine Tasting by 'shape & energy' is #hard.
Nick Mills, owner & winemaker at Rippon in New Zealand, was discussing how he likes to think about his wines beyond descriptions of flavors, but rather consider the shape, feel, and energy of the wine. Throughout the rest of the tasting, I made a concerted effort to observe and think about the texture and energy of the wines I tried. I struggled. Finding the vocabulary to express the "life" of a wine in that specific way really is hard.
Like many curious drinkers, I first learned to taste by attempting to copy the flavor and aroma profiles detailed in the oft obscure language of wine reviews and publications. E.g., "Toast and brown sugar notes frame crisp black cherry and plum flavors…" is a description used to review one of Rippon's wines in the Wine Enthusiast.
I then moved on to the more structured, deductive language of WSET tasting notes – dry with medium acidity, medium tannin, light body, and flavor characteristics of [insert WSET approved floral/fruits, spice/vegetable, and oak/other notes here].
These methods are both useful in that they provide a familiar and somewhat common language for people to use when describing wine. They also require a degree of mindfulness, which Laura Mowrey recently notes, is a beautiful and valuable thing when tasting wine.
Another important way of tasting and remembering wine is, of course, through experience. For example, when I smell a Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc, I'm brought back to my sister visiting me at my first apartment in New York. Or as David heard a participant express in a seminar, wines can be likened to people or art…or to characters, music, or places. This way of talking about wine adds a memorable and personal dimension to what we taste.
However, Nick's concept of tasting by the actual shape or energy of a wine was something foreign to me, especially when I tried to do it while removing all the other ways I'd previously learned to taste wine. And upon further thought & conversation with Nick, I realized this exercise was silly anyway. It's about the whole, and about expanding the way we taste, vs. one prescriptive formula. So, let's get a little geeky and expand. See my interview with Nick below the fold.

The style is minimalistic with simple siluette-like lines. The story is heart-gripping with small measures.
If you look to beginning-middle-end, I think the middle-part is too long. I would have liked a little bit more in the beginning and the end.
I find the lack of closeups rather special. Often you find images of faces and eyes to enhance emotions, but here we keep the distance.
Here is a link to the movie.

Remember Me
By: Kayceman
The funny thing is, as I was putting together the article on the DVD, rumors began to fly about a Police reunion. The more I poked around, the more sure I became that this was no rumor. Knowing that The Police were going to reunite, we elected to hold off on publishing our interview and drop it on the people when the big news broke. Finally, after a solid rendition of their smash hit "Roxanne" at the Grammy Awards and the subsequent world tour announcement, JamBase is happy to unveil our talk with Stewart Copeland.
Kayceman: When you watch Everybody Stares what do you take away from your time with The Police?
Copeland: Two different things actually; when I look back at life with The Police I take a bunch of things away from that, and when I look back at this film, I take a bunch of different things away.
Kayceman: How do they differ?
Copeland: In terms of looking back on my life as a member of The Police I walk away from that with all kinds of musical validation. I guess I have cause to feel good about what I've given to the world of music and that feels great. When I look at the film, I think wow, what a cool movie and how blessed I was to have such great images to make such a cool movie. And I'm very proud of the movie as a manifestation of film making, and that's my primary emotion regarding the film.
When I was shooting the film these incredible adventures were happening in front of me and I wanted to scrape them off and stuff them into my suitcase so I could play with them later, like any tourist.
Kayceman: What brought you to your involvement with film scoring?
Copeland: I got a phone call from Francis Ford Coppola.
How does your approach differ from scoring music versus being a rock drummer?
Coming out of your career with The Police a lot of press releases, and people in general, got the impression you shunned your pop past. I'm wondering if you really did shun that past?
I don't think I did, not consciously anyway. It's not a matter of shunning. It's a matter of you go do something else.
Lots of people have discussed the break up of The Police, and from most accounts it didn't seem to be a very clean or easy break. I'm curious if that led you to pursue something outside of rock & roll?
The parting of ways within the band was actually very easy and very amicable. We were all in a really good mood and we decided to make Melbourne the last show.
When you think back on that, what did you feel was the real reason to put The Police on rest?
Like Mozart, he completes his composition; every part of it, every aspect, the rhythm, the melody, the harmony, the lyric, everything. Mozart never had to negotiate with the brass section how to play a certain passage. This concept of the composer collaborating with the band is kind of newfangled, and in many ways goes against the grain. It works really well in bands, that collaboration, that's why rock music is so cool. But, it's understandable that the composer, particularly one who is as validated as Sting was – hit after hit after hit – to say, "You know what, I've written a song and I think it should go like this." He was perfectly within his rights to assert the sanctity of the composer. The problem was that for Andy [Summers - guitar] and me, it meant less and less that the band is a vehicle for our artistic expressions. We're just playing parts conceived by somebody else, and that's no fun. In fact, we didn't play those parts. We struggled and that's what the struggle was all about. With hindsight we can see clearly that both points of view had validity and also that the result of that struggle was good. In some cases Sting gave it up and compromised, and in some cases he didn't and we compromised. Sometimes it was Sting and Andy against me, sometimes it was Sting and I against Andy. That was the struggle, the conflict between the band and the composition.
A song like "Every Breath You Take" Sting brought it to the band as a Hammond organ piece, kind of like Billy Preston, these big huge chords with that song over the top of it. We could hear it, this was huge, one of the most important songs he's ever written. But, it didn't sound like us. We don't have a keyboard player. We're a guitar band. So, Andy came up with this guitar figure, which was never part of his original recording, but it was really potent and really changed the whole atmosphere of the song. Sting gave it up, he compromised.
Another song was "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" where Sting had the platinum demo. We heard his demo and it sounded great. He could have just released the demo and it would have been a guaranteed huge smash hit. But, we wanted to Police-ify it so we tried it slower, we tried faster, we tried the reggae version, the punk version, the jazz version, the polka version, but nothing was as good as the demo, so we gave it up and I just over-dubbed my drums to his demo. Some went this way, some went that way. Ultimately all of our records turned out rather well. Also, after eight years of working with us and five albums, Sting was less and less willing to make those compromises, so eventually we parted company.
-Copeland on the demise of The Police
So you said it was an amicable separation?
By stopping when you did, you cemented yourselves as absolute legends at the top of your game. Did that have anything to do with the thought process at the time?
It turned out that way fortuitously. But no, that wasn't part of our thought process. I certainly felt that there was a lot more gold in them hills. And I continue to be inspired by Sting's songs; he didn't run out of gas as a songwriter. And it may be that he felt that, "god damn it I want to write jazz songs and have it sound like my own thing." Maybe he was burnt out on working with Andy's concept of how guitar chords should work and my concept of how the drums should be. But it didn't feel like that. When we played on stage we always turned each other on.
What's your relationship like now with Sting and Andy?
What songs are you most proud of?
"Don't Stand So Close To Me," "Can't Stand Loosing You" and "Message In a Bottle" are my favorites, and "Beds Too Big Without You." "Roxanne," "Synchronicity." And "One World is Enough," you get the idea, I love them all.
One thing that has always blown me away about The Police was that you guys sort of existed in a vacuum where you were creating something very new and unique, which is a difficult thing to do.
We were very lucky that there was a vacuum at that time.
So how did you develop this sound?
By playing with each other. Andy and Sting inspired a certain kind of drumming in me and I believe my drumming inspired a certain kind of bass playing in Sting and so on. We really developed our style as a result of working with each other. My concept of how drums and bass works evolved by working with one particular bass player.
And how about just fundamentally, what were your influenced that led you to this?
How about the rock - meets - reggae - meets - punk?
It was a meshing of all three [Sting, Andy, Copeland]. Sting certainly discovered reggae. He had a New Years Eve party in 76-77 and he borrowed my record player because he didn't have one, and also my record collection, and for the first five days of the following year I think Sting was deeply lost in a world entrenched by reggae. There was a real sudden and dramatic conversion.
I read something where a writer said that you have some sort of aversion to jazz?
And do you think that hold true for the elite, for folks like Jack DeJohneete?
I love Jack DeJohneete. Some of the others – Miles [Davis], mostly crap. Some of his early records where he had Tony Williams, great, I love those. But mostly it was crap. He was out of tune and he was a fucking junky and it sounded like shit. It was utterly preposterous. The king just wasn't wearing any clothes. Coltrane, same thing. [In a condescending voice] "Love supreme, love supreme" it's a joke.
It's commendable to hear people speak up for what they believe.
That would piss anyone off.
And it turns them into grouchy people to hang with. There are many exceptions to that rule. One of my best friends is Stanley Clarke; he's great fun to hang out with.
Now thinking back, you mentioned your father and growing up in a jazz household, and I'm curious if there was any rub in the fact that he was a C.I.A. agent and you were a rock star, did that create any issues?
No-no-no. My father's job as a C.I.A. agent... to observe the C.I.A. agent at work was to watch him attend cocktails parties.
So I guess there are more similarities than one may think.
Well he saw himself primarily as a musician. And all his sons and daughters went by without showing any talent for playing. Miles and Ian were both real music heads, they listened to music all the time, but they couldn't play anything. So by the time I came along – the fourth child – the house was full of abandoned musical instruments. So I started to pick them up and play stuff, so my dad jumped up, "Finally one of my kids!" So I was immediately packed-off to every lesson. I think trombone was my first instrument at age six or something. I don't remember ever not being the musician of the family and having lessons of some kind.
And at what point did you realize that you had something special; that this might not just be a hobby?
I think seven.
What clues did I have?
And you had that feeling at seven?
I always remember that music gave me that. I don't remember how old I was the first time I had that, but I know music always gave me that. And I was a measly kid, the runt of the litter physically. Around 19 or 20 I started to grow, but up until that point I was a pale skinny kid; and music was the one thing that I had that gave me a reason to get out of bed.
Did spending a good amount of time in the Middle East as a young man have a strong impact on you musically?
I'm also curious about the differences between playing live and recording music, what do you value most about both those outlets?
I value recording in the studio not a whit, not a jot, nor tiddle. I hate it. I love playing on stage. My policy now is that I'm never going to record drums in the studio ever again because I hate it. Playing on stage I love. And if I ever need to make a record I'll have to do a concert first.
Can you explain why?
The reason is that when you're playing drums in the studio you're not really playing... your heart and brain are not in the same place. You're trying to remember an arrangement, you're trying to fake it. It's sort of like playing with a rubber doll; it's not the real thing. Actually, for me that only applies to drums by the way. I love over-dubbing on guitar, bass, any other instrument, I love it. It's just the drumming part.
Something else I wanted to touch on was Oysterhead, which turned a whole new generation on to you.
Ahhh, I love Oysterhead.
So first off, this was a trio, as was The Police, where were the similarities and differences?
In The Police we organized our material and we went and presented it on stage. And every once in a while we would allow ourselves excursions of improvisation which was very rewarding, but it was all in the context of closely arranged material. The set list was very honed so that the lighting guy, the sound guy, the guitar tech, the wardrobe lady – everybody knew what the next song was. We would work on it with great diligence to make that show really work. The pacing from this song to that song, the transitions, everything. In Oysterhead the philosophy is "set lists are for wimps." We would just walk out there and play.
In The Police's day stage attire and image was very important. It was part of your job to look different from the kid on the street. You had to look more outrageous than was possible for a normal civilian. It was part of your job. It would be unprofessional to leave your hotel room looking like you would be safe with children. Nowadays the band - the rock stars, look just like the fans.
Well, Les Claypool could go against that one.
What about Trey? What do you enjoy about playing with him?
He's a force of nature. You remember Mozart in that movie Amadeus, that's our Trey. He's just a cheerful guy. Point him towards the stage, plug him in and cool shit happens. You never know what's gonna happen at any other time – or even on stage for that matter – you never know what's gonna happen with Trey; is he gonna show up, or not? And that's part of his charm.
I find Trey's guitar playing to be rather unique, especially his tone and his style, is that something you agree with?
Absolutely. He can create a whole world of sound and music without really playing his guitar. He uses his guitar to create these sounds, these wafting clouds of atmosphere which are really affective and don't involve finger wiggling.
Is there anybody else you sort of put in that same category?
You've done so much in so many different areas of creativity, what else do you want to do? What else do you dream of?
I really like writing orchestral music and I have to squeeze it in between earning a living by writing film music. I suppose if there's anything I want to do more of it would be that. All the time when I was getting this jazz upbringing my mom was listening to Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky, and those things actually resonated more deeply. It's almost a completely different musical personality. When I play drums I hear guitars. At certain times of the day I hear guitar music, but at other times I just have this river flowing of orchestral music and I want to make my own. And I love it when I get an opportunity to make some; when I get a commission from Seattle Symphony or San Francisco Ballet, or any of these people to write this kind of music. And it's so removed from the other aspects of my musical life.
It often seems that people who are very creative in various mediums thrive off of new experiences and new outlets, so that certainly makes sense.
When I look at who I am and what I've done, the orchestral side seems completely anomalous, it's so gentle. I guess it's sort of like the Japanese war commander who while he's planning his military strategies is doing flower arrangements.

Miles [Davis], mostly crap. Some of his early records where he had Tony Williams, great, I love those. But mostly it was crap. He was out of tune and he was a fucking junky and it sounded like shit. It was utterly preposterous. The king just wasn't wearing any clothes. Coltrane, same thing. [In a condescending voice] "Love supreme, love supreme" it's a joke.He is obviously a tool.
I Agree with damonh420, Copeland are you kidding me??? im a drummer who attempts to play jazz everyday,i was raised on jazz, and to say most of it is crap, is REAL fucking crap. jazz is the root of most western music today, the improvistaion, the skill, ESPECIALLY the timing and the DISCIPLINE all stems from jazz, and to trash it the way he does in the interview is kind of sad. i love copelands stuff with the police (though fuck sting...he sucks) one world, brilliant stuff, so im shocked to hear how much he tears jazz musicians a new one. yes if you practice everyday you'll make a good jazz player, then again you'll make a good anything, your supposed to practice everyday stewart copeland you should know this, sorry that your head is stuffed to far up your ass...sad dude sad.
oh and coltrane was sober sally when he wrote love supreme, he was a born again christian and wrote it to praise the lord...i suppose...i guess what im trying to say is TAKE MORE DRUGS!!!!
As the guy who interviewed Copeland for this story I feel the need to speak up about the jazz/Miles/Coltrane comment. Yes, it's very dicey and makes for good reading/talking, but that's sort of the point. I definitely get the impression Copeland feels this way, but if you read the quote in context he kinda tells you he's trying to get a reaction. He also references his love for other jazz musicians. Anyway, it's a fun quote, but the dude says way more than just that in this interview. And he was a really fun interview by the way; very open and talkative.
I was reading along and enjoying the interview and then like a brick wall suddenly surprises a drunk driver there it was. "Miles, mostly crap.... A Love supreme, love supreme" it's a joke." I believe that by calling "A Love Supreme" a joke, you eclipse every other word in your interview. I never liked the Police for possessing that cheesy pop late 70s tone, but I understand that the boys have chops and warrant some respect, but they never released anything as soulful as the shits that John Coltrane released out of his ass in the 50s. PS, read the Mile Davis autobiography, hate to break it to you, but Miles Got Laid Like A Fucking RockStar because he was one. Wow! Take a step back, you played drums on Roxanne, you didn't redefine music every 5 years over the course 4 decades.
yeah, this article became trash as soon as he started the jazz thing.. nice words stewie.. id like to hear him play some of those tony williams licks, or better yet, feel it like tony williams.. i saw oysterhead at bonnaroo this past summer he kept throwing those triplets on the 1 of ever y measure like in "psuedo suicide" and it just got so annoying cuz i was so dosed.(listen to it and you'll know exactly what im talking about).
yeah he's a badass,can't wait to hear him kick it this summer...but speaking of ridiculous drummers,what ever happened to terry bozzio?just wondering...
he aint got shit on elvin jones either
I thought the Police were pretty good, but nothing amazing and Stewart was a good session drummer. He's obviously trying to get a rise out of the jazz comment. He did just that. Stewart Copeland sucks. As stated before, read some Coltrane or Miles biographies and learn about them. They are the ones that changed music forever, not the freaking police. Rock drummers play in 4/4 every song. Man, that's a tough gig dude. Look at Giant Steps and learn about moving in 5ths. Anything Miles or Coltrane ever did was 100X better than the Police. I would have left that quote out jambase because any music lover will just hate the guy after that quote.
I'm sure he knew exactly what he was saying and what effect it would have on this audience. I mean the guy jams with Claypool all the time...Primus sucks! same deal. He does have a point about quick rifts versus soulful notes. I saw the Oysterhead in Seattle and he was the highlight for me. Super-cool
sick interview! i can't believe i just read the words "Rock musicians get laid, jazz musicians don't!" on jambase. i'm sorry, but that is really really quite hilarious.
p.s. everyone just RELAX and have a good read.
great article. love this guy. I know exactly what he is talking about when he is trashing jazz like that. being forced to study jazz for years, or even studying it on your own, one can get sick of it real easily. Just as you can with any other music you've studied or listened to for years. copeland is a sick drummer, and he could play right along with some of the best jazz drummers, I am sure. which is why he has a right to say whatever the hell he wants about jazz. besides, he's right...the best part about busting on jazz cats is their reaction anyways ;)
these fuckers better get ready to imrovise at the roo. Alot of jazz fans are stuck up they call em' "jazz nazis" at Berklee but this mother fuckerssounds pretty big headed too. He totaly contradicts himself talking about how jazz is bullshit because its random and then talks about the best part of oysterhead being the improv. what an asshole. miles davis is the shit and so is coltrane to bad he cant grasp it.
Kayceman I see what your saying but cmon you gotta admit thats a dick move
"He was out of tune and he was a fucking junky and it sounded like shit" - sounds a lot like a certain "force of nature" we know so well
sorry, that was a cheap shot, just thought it was funny to be dissing miles and giving trey props, but anyway...
Step 1: Go buy "Message in a Box"Step 2: Listen.Step 3: Understand The police are completely badass.Has anyone ever seen Umphrey's do "Walking on the Moon?" Tight sh!t.Re: Copeland's jazz comments. He's a rock star. Of course he is going to have a few asinine opinions about what's generally considered "good."
what a great article! yeah you nailed it kayce , gotta give props to someone who speaks their mind regardless of who will say what etc... .I don't agree 100% but don't disagree either w/ the jazz comments. At least he elaborated on the subject and didn't sound like alot of the people who post here who's big statements are " fuck the police " , " trey sucks " etc.... The telephone is ringing , is that my mother on the phone? the telephone is ringing.....
He's a JERK OFF. A J E R K O F F
yeah i love jazz, it's definately one of my personal favorite styles of music for jamming\listening to, but copeland actually makes a good point about "rapid wiggling" or however he frazed it, if you can get down the rapidity of note transitions (slides, bends, pulloffs), learn the unorthodox scale and improvise well enough, jazz guitar isn't as difficult as it sounds, it just has a unique sound. I'm sure with the Coltrane comment he was mostly trying to get a rise out of music snobs and have a good time. it seemed a light-hearted comment. i personally love me some coltrane, but I'd probably poke fun at a lot of metal music some friends are into, even though I recognize the chops a lot of metal bands have. same idea.
Killer interview Kayce, really got inside his head, great to hear his perspective on the demise of The Police. People you need to chill out on the jazz comment, take a deep breath.
stings a tool
"Jazz musicians as a rule are stuck up snobs. And the reason is because they don't get laid! Rock musicians get laid, jazz musicians don't!"Holy crap that's funny!So true.Stuck up is an understatement.Great interview.
Stewart I love your drumming and vision. But who the hell wants to hang with an arrogant bastard, like you. I'd rather hang with Dave King(The Bad Plus) or Joey Baron any day. Where is all this angnst coming from, maybe you need to get laid "Love Supreme" a joke, come on!!
Sting sucks and so do The Police, Talking Heads should have got back together then we wouldn't have to read this nonsense about jazz and they would be headliners of the The B-Roo and then i would be paying almost 200 bucks for a ticket and then i would be a happy head anyone who pays that much for The Police is out of their mind I know Tool and Panic will be there but come on its almost 200 dollar ticket thats bull shit
manjotar :: 2/13/2007 8:11 PM ::yeah he's a badass,can't wait to hear him kick it this summer...but speaking of ridiculous drummers,what ever happened to terry bozzio?just wondering... he lives in Austin Texas just in case you read this
what a bitch
Don't let Stew punk ya. That's just stream of consciousness rambling. The main thing he is attacking is the purist snobbery of it all. He also knows there is no better way to piss off jazzers than to go straight to the top and diss Coltrane and Miles. Stew has hung and played with the heaviest of the heavy. I'm sure everyone posting on this thread has rubbed up against some douchebag bop-nazis in their life (along with some stuck up asshole rockers, too). Say what you want about The Police headlining 'Roo, but everyone playing on that bill will not miss a single measure of it. C'mon yall, freedom of speech, Freedom Rock- turn it up man!
"Oysterhead has no songs, it's all about improvisation, it's all about chops and playing and creating excitement that comes from improvisation. The spontaneity of it, the creating here and now is what the buzz of it is. When I'm on stage with Oysterhead and we're completely way out on a tangent – who knows what song we even stared out with, we're way out there – I'm dying thinking this is a horrendous crime against stage craft and I look at the front row and this is their favorite part. They're watching us think. They're watching something that has never happened before and will never happen again. They're in it with us, they're on the journey and you gotta take the rough with the smooth." Jam extracted this performance concept from jazz and it apparently worked. I also grew up in a jazz household...raised by a jazz musican (not the CIA)...i was sent for jazz lessons. I still practice jazz some but I can identify with Copeland when he talks about wanting to get laid instead of practice enough to hang with serious jazz players...id rather get laid too...ROCK AND ROLL!I cant agree with all of Copelands opinions but he is a trip! If this is what he thinks of Miles Davis I wonder what he thinks of Garcia?!?!AWESOME INTERVIEW! THANK YOU!
I cannot decide if Copeland's comments are actually some private little nod to a jazz friend. One can play any music, jazz or otherwise, without soul- it's just notes, after all. But what one does with those notes..Jerry Garcia once said, "There are many players with great technique who have nothing to say." To intone that the "finger wiggling" is the sole provinence of jazz players is hilarious- as if jam music does not have a nation of finger wigglers? Granted jazz is an acquired taste, and I certianly would not feel the need to live on a steady diet of it (guitardave said it best), but to so easily diss an entire art form is nothing but unabashed arrogance- or a joke, which Copeland does partially cop to. Kaycemen, I felt that you gave him a pass there. Knowing that you were aware of a whiff of bull, do you nevertheless agree with his assertions to a certain extent? Not sure if you are a jazz fan or not. I would be curious to know if you ever had the opportunity to see Miles Davis. In a lifetime of playing and seeing live music, seeing him play remains deeply imprinted upon me. My personal opinion is that his music was amazing, from all periods, not just the Tony Williams stuff. I would strongly encourage folks to familiarize themselves with Miles and form their own opinion through direct experimentation. Remember also, years ago Copeland totally trashed Jerry Garcia in at least one interview as well. He clearly relishes playing the tool and I hope there is more "wink, wink" in his schtick than the words convey. Thank you for your work, Kayce.
Stu demonstrates exactly how to push a jam fan's buttons in 50 words or less. Lighten up, folks, he's f*cking around. More to the point, the guy is a beast behind the kit, and those who know him as a human being (vs. those who make assumptions based on some hot air in an interview) know he's a prince.Don Henley once said in a RS interview that he only listened to his own music. The difference between Don and Stu is that (a) Don wasn't kidding, and (b) Don is actually a douchebag.
The Copeland Brothers(Miles & Ian as well as Stewart)have completely changed the musical landscape over the past three decades. Besides Stewart's involvement in the Police, Miles & Ian started multiple record companies over the years including IRS records. They basically started the Athens, GA music scene in the early 80's. Mike Mills & Bill Berry actually interned for Miles in Macon before starting REM in 1980. Sadly Ian died last year but I would highly recommend reading his book "Wild Thing".
horace silver.. now thats soul.. sorry police, you aint got that feel
I agree w/ you Bertolet....lighten up guys. Go to the bort if you want to get so emotional online. I gotta say as a fan of all of Stew's projects and everyone he pretty much trashed, I couldn't believe the brass balls he had to make those remarks. Definately some shock value in this article, which I enjoyed....although I disagree, he's entitled to his opinion and he's got guts to speak so freely.
[Manjotar & Zapzapa] - any Comments Section that makes its way to a Terry Bozzio reference is just alright w/ me. Bravo....and SuperDee has it right as per usual.
I love how some of you people are so easily offended by something you oppose subjectively- I'm sure Stew would be most entertained by it! Bottom line is, The Police are a part of my earliest and most fundamental memories of music. I consider Stew a creative genius, and those types often bear eccentricity. It's part of their beauty. Fantastic article!
Bad news folks, I just heard that the police are going to be at Bonnaroo...The first time 6up will be headlining.Here comes the fuzz, here comes the fuzz!
Here's a joke, What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians ----- a DRUMMER! Sounds to bitter to be getting laid on a regular basis! You want the real reason that STING decided to put the band on rest - He was tired of being around an asshole (you can put up with an asshole if he's got talent) Can't comment on the rest of the article b/c after the comments about jazz I realized that I wasn't gonna learn anything from this tool and I don't have the time to waste on dumb drummers. peace and love
Ahh the English. They reign supreme over our simple tastes. What muscle heads we Americans with our Jazz noodling must be. Why can't we rip off a country with better music like Jamaica? Clapton is God! Freddie Mercury is Jesus! Hermen's Hermits, the 12 diciples of course!
As much as I like The Police, I must say that Copeland sounds like a moron in this interview. The fact is that there are thousands of people that have practiced enough to become virtuosos, yet only a very small percentage of these people are recognized as visionaries. Miles and Coltrane changed music forever. Copeland will never be remembered for that.
Uhh, Stew is American. Charlie Watts (who actually is British) said Jazz is America's highest art form. By the way, Bertolet just may have THE BEST profile picture ever.Dwight rules!
Tony Williams and Elvin Jones could whip Stewart Copeland's ass. Coltrane, a joke. Miles, Crap. Guess what, Stewart. The Police is a joke. This tour is a joke. It's all about the money. Oysterhead sucked too.
Hey im gonna bitch about the jazz too. I think he was just jazz brain washed or something. As a drummer who learned rock rythms i find jazz really difficult. I'm slowly getting better at it but i personally feel jazz music makes up a great deal of drums. Jazz music can be tweaked in small ways until its other music. Copeland probably doesnt realize it but the reason he is just a good drummer is jazz. He probably just have a personal distaste for it since he was beaten into submission by his father until he played bitches brew note for note
Thanks, Guitar Dave. And yeah, that remark about Stewart being British was capital, eh.
Bertolet has made me think: Who is the biggest douchebag? a. Don Henley, b. Alex Trebek, c. Bob Vila, d. Kevin Costner. Think this one over carefully and be sure to appreciate the douchey nuances of all of the entrants.
If you don't see at least some truth to what he is saying (and don't get the overall humor of it) you truly have a stick up your ass. "Lighten up, Francis." Snobbery in the Jazz (and Jamband) world is rampant. Bravo to Copeland for pointing it out. It's all about the x-factor, and he is right in saying a lot of Jazz musicians get away without having that...Chill out, peoples! Stewart is better than you ;-)
kayce,would like to see more stuff like this...stories w/ interviews! good read.as far a copeland's jazz comments: the dude loves to push buttons, but I after reading several times, get the vibe he REALLY does believe "jazz is crap."so, I love the police's side projects, but in my own personal, humble opinion, I still am not thrilled about seeing The Police. It's like these 'Stones tours that are so watered down with Centrum Silver and Geritol. The Police = a 3-piece, very basic pop band with mediocre stage shows....yawn to the police at Bonnaroo. Props to Kayce for an inside look @ the very polarizing (as proven with these comments) Copeland. via, the_goff.
Ol' Stu seems to contradict himself. I was really excited about the Police tour, and now I don't know??? How in the world can they think that raggae music is so much better than Jazz? I like all music as long as its good! Miles, Coletrane, Marley Etc......Go see live music!!!
Before reading this article I didn't really have much of an opinion on stewart copeland- although I did think he was a fairly talented drummer. Now after reading it I am confident that this dude is a fucking moron. To say jazz is crap, jazz musicians such the most, miles davis sucked and was just a fucking junky and same with train- fuck you copeland. Just in case you didn't notice, stewart, you are a drummer! You may compose soundtracks but you only play drums in bands and it's much easier to bang on things to a simple reggae beat than to solo over the changes in giant steps you fucking idiot. If I were to choose between Stewart and Miles while he's completely fucked up on H, I wouldnt even have to think about it, because miles is a real musician. How the fuck can Stanley be friends with this joke of a man!?!? Stanley Clarke is so awesome and such a great jazzer so I don't get why he'd hang out with this clown who clearly has no clue what he is talking about. Stanley was good friends with Miles so I'm sure as soon as stanley gets word of this interview they won't be friends anymore. Stewart- I hope you die of a massive paper cut from a real book to your neck!
the cope doesn't like jazz big fing deal, i'm sure there are types of music you don't like maybe country or rap, everybody is going to have an opinion, all those guys he names i like them i know there good if stew doesn't like them thats fine with me, i know there good and that good enough for me, the ears don't lie
Good lord people chill out! It's his opinion, everyone is entitled to it. While I also disagree I praise him for having the audacity to say it. You probably all failed to notice this..."It's a fun party trick......And my main reason why I love dissing jazz is jazz musicians."I personally laughed my ass off and I worship Miles & Trane!
I just lost the 1 oz of respect I had for Stewart Copeland. Great drummer, even bigger jackass. Way to diss your influences fool, really classy.
What a freakin' idiot. Miles and Trane blow both The Police and Oysterhead away any day of the week (and I love Trey). What's really funny is that Stewart Copeland's playing style doesn't even vaguely resemble blues drumming. He consistantly overplays what any of his mediocre songs call for. If The Police reunion tour stops in my town, I think I'll save my money and stay home and listen to A Love Supreme on repeat all night long (and still get laid).
Ghost in the Machine, Soon they will have secrets, One day they'll have dreams! Oh Yes baby! Rocka Rocka 937 funkasaurus supreme with extra butter. Dr. Rock knows best. I love listening to my Police vinyls with headphones. I can not wait to view the DVD good job Stu. Super 8 Film is cool. Tell Francis I said HOWDY. I love his version of Dracula. I love Oysterhead, improvision and jazz! The world is your Oysterhead....Stephen
All of you are so ridiculous, clearly you aren't thourough readers. I think Lespaulman stated the key quote that everyone seems to have overlooked. He's fucking jesting!! People do that from time to time, you all just like to bitch wayyyyy too much.
:stiritupyou know what they say about any press being good press. people are talking about this all over the place. i'm sure mr. copeland is fully aware of the greatness of these jazz ledgens.
Silly rabbit tricks are for kids...BTW Guitardave...I truly "appreciate the douchey nuances of all of the entrants" I couldn't decide... very nice!
The Police were my favorite band when I was a kid. Still love their music, especially the Stew songs. That song about his plastic blow-up girlfriend is hilarious! While I don't whole-heartedly agree with his jazz comments, I do think they're funny. But I have a sense of humor. Too bad they're playing Bonnaroo, b/c Bonnaroo SUCKS!
wow. before I read this article I thought stewart copeland was pretty cool and a great drummer. But now I think he's a worthless peice of cow shit. The police suck ass anyway.
"It's a fun party trick, but I am allergic to jazz. I was raised to be a jazz musician, my father was a jazz musician and I was steeped in jazz from the moment my ears blinked open, which is why I am immune to jazz. And my main reason why I love dissing jazz is jazz musicians. The problem with jazz musicians is that they are all crap. It's sort of like jazz is the refuge of the talent-less. If you really want to be a musician and you are prepared to really work hard at it, but you don't have the gift and you don't have any soul and you don't have any talent, jazz is what you should do; because all you need to do is just spend hours training your fingers to wiggle very quickly and you'll be a hero in the jazz world. Not so in blues. In blues you need talent, you need X factor, you need heart, you need to have lived a life, you have to have something to say, you need to be an actual musician to play the blues. Jazz, any fool can do it; all you gotta do is practice."I play Jazz and wiggle my talented finger. I'm not as rich and I obviously don't get laid as much as Stewart Copeland, as if those are qualifiers for being a good human being. I must be a piece of $hit and terrible to hang out with. This article is not funny. End of story. Go read the dispatch article if you want to read about people who don't have their head up their own ass.
Is it true that a shogun in japan made Copeland an honorary master ninja? I met this dude outside of a tae-kwon-do place and was wearing my oysterhead shirt and he mentioned something about that to me. I guess he's sick at drums 'cause of his ninja strength and precision?that's just what i heard
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion: The Police still suck, and now Bonnaroo does too!
Great article and hilarious reactions though!
Yeah!! Clearly Stewart is "punking" the over-sensitive jazz-heads (pun intended) - i LOVE jazz and have tons of each branch of it in my collections..but STILL what he said makes so much sense..beautiful. There are some SERIOUS jazz snobs whho need to come down a notch or three. and YES it's easy to "fake the wiggle". But really - If you just read ANY Stew interview for 30 yrs now.. he is ALWAYS a wise-ass and very very sarcastic..check his site out sometimes... Anyway -- in their own way the Police always did some very neo-jazzz type jamming and improv so never fear. And of course OYSTERHEAD.... Copeland - Great writer, great soundtracks, great drummer --A true Original and one of the best from a great generation -- the late 70s/early 80s explosion out of the UK that included XTC, the Cure, Peter Gabriel, the Jam, the Clash, etc..And don't forget he was in "jazz-fusion-progressive" band CURVED AIR in the early 70s -then the Police guys met as a GONG side band- so he has been all the way thru the machine, seen all the cliches --Hey -- regarding BOZZIO -- he has never stopped kicking ass -- he has several recent CDs out - some solo drums, one dup CD with fellow Zappa-drummer Chad Wackerman -- and he did 3 tours with Dweezil Zappa's dealio-- "Zappa Plays Zappa" where he was special guest every night for 40 mins. This summer he will be touring with metal band KORN, he is doing their new CD also... A couple years ago he did the KNACK cd...then a reunion tour with JEFF BECK and TONY HYMAS..then a crazy fusion/experimental jazz trio.....so he seems to never sit still....check his site, lots of CDs/DVDs to get
I Love everyone taking this crap so seriously! Classic Copeland!Great read, Great interview.Thanks Kayceman & the sunshine band... LOL
Jazz is Shit and does anyone really enjoy listening to miles, maybe his first album
Hilarious! He accomplished what he set out to do, which is to get people riled up. 1. The Police were a great band, and Copeland is an amazing drummer. 2. "Kind of Blue" and "A Love Supreme" are 2 of the greatest albums ever. 3. Aren't Jazz fans a bit touchy!Can't wait to see The Police at Bonnaroooo!
He even told us it was to get a rise. Good interview, he explains things really well without the usually vague crap you get in a lot of these interviews. Also sounds like a few of yall dusted off those jazz albums and let em play!
to get a rise or not, theres no reason to insult miles davis. the man single handedly created the jam scene, which gave him trey and claypool for oysterhead. i dont much care for the police and i really dont see how having one or two successful bands can put him in a position of insulting a man whos had over 5 successful decades.good article though, nice work.
"Miles Davis...singlehandedly created the jam scene?"Huh?I don't think so...
Who then?
None of this takes away from the fact that Stevie Wonder is a musical genius.
I saw the Police in concert and they were and are a great band. I think the comments about Miles and Coltrane are way off base. You would think he would enjoy Jazz instead of callaing it crap? Go figure!
Haha, the drummer from The Police is calling Miles Davis and John Coltrane crap? That is simply laughable, no matter how much of a junkie Miles might have been he could have given this dipshit a lesson in music for the rest of his life and still never have taught him everything he knows. Stewart Copeland is a hack riding on Sting's coattails (who also sucks). Trey is a junkie too but I still love him.
This interview made me lose a lot of respect for Copeland. He rips on jazz because anyone can do it by practicing and its all noodling/improv. Yet later in the article he says "Oysterhead has no songs, it's all about improvisation, it's all about chops and playing and creating excitement that comes from improvisation." That is the definition of jazz... Also, he says he hates recording in the studio and would prefer to play live any day...Yet another characterisitc of most jazz musicians. Copeland is an ignorant musician who needs to realize how lucky he was at a young age. People like this make me resent their stardom. He doesn't deserve it...
That's the thing about "written" quotes, you can't tell if people are being sarcastic, or pissed, etc. I saw the Police in "83 and they kicked ass, and what impressed me most was Copeland. I still love Miles and Coltrane though. Take it with a grain of salt. Peace
Hey I liked the article. I got a laugh about the Jazz us crap thing. I know plenty of Bop snobs. People who throw fits on stage if a change isn't spot on. Or criticize a musician if they aren't pulling their sax chops from the grave of some old bop hero. Its funny when people take music SO seriously. I think its pretty stupid that he called Miles and JC crap... I don't agree that they were crap. I think they pushed the envelope so hard that a lot of people don't get it, some of their stuff is too much for me, and I love jazz.Even better than jazz snobs... back in the days of the dead and Phish I knew lots of jam snobs... and they didnt even know how to play anything but a vegi burrito.Anyway, Music in general is full of that elitist, snobby crap and it should be laughed at.Oh and the man can play the drums and he's entitled to his own opinion, though I think it was his sense of humor more than anything.
Wow! Dude shits on jazz players for improvising, then says he loves Oysterhead because they have no songs and just improvise??? And shitting on Coltrane and Miles was the most wack shit I've ever heard in my life! Bro needs his head kicked in.
I think it was Stew who said: "Widespread Panic is the neo-hippie generation's answer to Foghat". He also said "Trey solo career is doomed to failure because most people despise redheads." Discuss.
I'm pretty sure this needs to be taken lightly. he was merely referring to the fact that he believes music means more in song form than loose improv. he's valuing structure over improv w/chops(even though that's Oysterhead) the fact is that chops, improv & strong structure are important and need to be balanced out, that's how you make a lasting impression in music. you can have a bunch of crappy songs OR a bunch or crappy improv that doesn't go anywhere(even if you have chops) and still have fans(bisco, pgroove or green day, death cab respectively)
Great interview Kayceman. Stewart Copeland knows how to rile up the peanut gallery! I thought the Grammy performance was just okay. Would have liked to hear something different than Roxanne. Curious to hear how a whole Police show will sound...
"Miles Davis...singlehandedly created the jam scene?"Huh?I don't think so...-----------------------------------------------------------yup, up until bitches brew there werent any improvised fusion records, none of any importance at least. thats what jam is, improvised fusion of styles.and trey's solo career is doomed beccause he was surrounded by greatness in phish and but seemed to leave them out in the cold afterwards. also the whole addiction and pending conviction may have something to do with his solo career's doom. not so much the readheadedness.
they played roxanne at the grammys because its the 30th anniversary of the release of it, and it was their first single
do u think sting would put up with stewar again if stew was out of his mind!Copeland if anything wants to bring more attention to the music of jazz and this is how to do it --stirring the pot --only a real musician would know stewart is in fact a jazz muso--himself.Uh (huh) you better believe it ...Tell u what stewart is not a snob ..I once walked into his animal logic bands dressing room w/o knocking he was super cool and signed my magazine...Lookout for the next police album its gonna kick some f....k..n...jazz btch as s ses god bless the police..
Man, Stewart Copeland fucking sucks what a joke this guy is, where does he even get off comparing himself? I know a kid that's 19 years years old and he's a mother fucker on the drums, WAY better than Copeland who's probably 50 by now.
Yo this was a great read, great interview, and informative. Very intimate, and Copeland speaks very eloquently...Thanx for this Aaron
He said himself that he liked talkin shit just rile people up. tongue in cheek, my friends.
ok,ok...freedom to speak what's honestly on one's mind...I love it and it's apparent that Stewart is mature enough to do so. I love Coltrane, Miles did some very amazing stuff but what a negative self-absorbed goon. Every time I listen to Miles his negativity oozes everywhere. I never cared too much for Copelands playing with Oysterhead...didn't seem to quite work BUT as a drummer Stewart Copeland is a good one. I know a lot of jazz musicians and for the most part it is a cheesy world...there aren't and probably will never be the cool cats like Elvin Jones around to bring the true essence of what improv-heart-and-soul-jazz used to be. Everything seems to homogenize and become sterile...it's the human way. Let's just attach a cool image of what I think is cool and put it on like a mask...NOT! Let's just give thanks for honest thoughts, opinions and the ever evolving flow of the experience and the music. peace and keep the the great articles coming.
The police at bonnaroo... nothing could be better. this year's line-up is rediculous. plus getting to see one of the all time great bands in that type of setting is nuts.
Copeland, I have to say, as a Jazz, Miles and Coltrane fan, you kinda surprised me. But like the Hypocrite I am I had to laugh at the same time. Obviously, whenever anyone makes broad, sweeping stokes it's not going to encapsulate anyone. But in my years as a jazz and a rock drummer I have learned a few things that are echoed in your comments.1. I've met a lot more women from playing great rock music than great jazz music.2. I've met more opinionated assholes playing jazz music than rock music3. I still love playing both.Great article about a great drummer. I've always been impressed at the style and swing that Copeland playing with. I think alot of musicians listen to him and like but the don't know why(non-drummers, that is). He's a master of nuances and individual twists that make his music groove and move so well.I'm interested to see what kind of show the Police put together at Bonnaroo vs. all their other stadium shows.Thanks for the article and keep em' coming. Much better than a fluff piece on the newest trance/techno/live-tronica band. I mean, just look at all the conversation it's started, even without someone getting arrested for possession!
Kayceman your are the best in the business. Great interview. His jazz comments cracked me up becuase they were so obviously sarcasm with the desired intent being fully realized on this message board. I would rather listen to Miles than the Police anyday. But his point about snobby musicians bieng annoying rings true. Jazz is complex and difficult and hence takes more effort than many other genres, so people who get proficient can certainly be elitist about it. As can heavy metal guitarists,rock drummers, or classical pianists. Yet people on this site act the same way about their musical tastes with nothing to back it up. Listen to him play. He has obviously been influenced by jazz and he is obviously very talented.I really don't even like the Police. I really enjoyed reading about the band dynamics.
So, um does anyone know when Stevie Nicks next show is...I am fienin!
Never has an idiot been so exploited. Thank you JAMBASE.
Dear God, Learn how to spell Jack DeJohnette!!!
stuart copeland is a fool. miles davis is crap, you got to be kidding. i always liked the police's music, but it's very pop. i used to have respect for the man, especially playin' with oysterhead. now i just think he's just as big of a fucking asshole sellout as sting.
this is funny. Stuart is trying to piss people off with the Miles Davis & Coltrane comments he made, mostly he mentioned those 2 because he knows they are the only 2 most people here have heard of. Its just a publicity thing for him to be controversial. What's ironic is his own description of playing in Oysterhead is pretty much a definition of what jazz is. Except that Coltrane was infinitely better at it, Oysterhead at their best is better than Coltrane at his worst, but Oysterhead at their best is a sad jive compared to Coltrane at the Half Note in 1965 or Miles Davis before he lost it. But who isn't ? Stu is a huge talent and so are the people he gets to sorround himself with, lucky dogg
theivywall: "jazz guitar isn't as hard as it sounds"??? to which jazz guitarist are you measuring really?.. to Al Di Meola? then it's very easy... to Pat Metheny? Larry Coryell? Bireli Lagrene? Fareed Haque? oh I don't think so... and also try to improvise over the changes of Cannonball Adderley's "This Here" or Joe Farrell's "November 68th" in Coryell's style; not just the I-IV-V progressions or the basic progressions used in jazz standards and funk jazz.For the record, the idiotic Copeland who thinks jazz musicians are snobs, I've seen worse snobs in rock and pop music, jazz musicians are actually far more humble if you ask me, rock musicians tend to actually have their head up their asses with their fame and living in their "pentatonic box" world.Blues is emotional, but jazz is pure FEELING.. and feelings are more complex than emotions.
Stewart Copeland has made a living off of outrageous comments. Terry Gilliam once said about religion, "I ended up leaving that church because nobody could take my jokes about God. And I said, 'What kind of church is this, that my feeble little jokes are going to threaten its belief?'" I feel like a lot of these commentors who do not like Copeland's words are very similar to the religious fanatics Gilliam addresses. How great is the altar to Davis, Coltrane, and Monk when you cannot have a laugh about it all?

This is an effect that fascinates me, so I thought that it would be good to show you how it can be done.
One of my favorite projects is to create custom wrappers for candy bars. They can be used for holidays, birthday parties, showers and weddings.
Pins are such fun things to use on scrapbook pages, and I know that many of you like to use them, so I thought that I would show you how I make mine.

Bullying-prevention techniques learned in Safe School Ambassador program training
During her freshman year, Celeste Hernandez had a friend who tried to pick a fight with someone, and she didn't possess the tools to stop it from happening.
"I'm kind of like, 'I'm gonna go with the flow' because you're a freshman, all you want to do is fit in and I kind of did just go along with it. ... I didn't say anything to stop it, and I didn't know at the time what to do," she said.
Last week, another friend was going to fight someone, but this time Celeste knew what to do.
"I knew both of the girls that wanted to fight, and I went up to one and said, 'Let's go for a walk.' And the other girl was kind of like, 'What?' And I was like, 'Let's go walk,' " recalled Celeste, 15 and a sophomore at San Ysidro High School.
She told the girl, who was older than the one she was about to fight, that she had more to lose by being in her final two years of high school and beginning the process of applying to colleges. How likely will schools be to admit someone who's still getting into fights with younger students?
By the time one of the assistant principals arrived and asked whether everything was OK, everything was.
"With the training, I thought of various things to do to stop it," she said.
The training was for the Safe School Ambassadors program, created by Community Matters, which began at the school with a two-day training last month.
The program trains up to 40 students and a handful of staff in ways to engage bystanders to stop bullying on campus. The selected students have been identified as the leaders in their varying groups, which allows the techniques to be used in as many different groups as possible.
Since 2000, the program has been used in more than 30 states and in two Canadian provinces, according to the Community Matters website. Celeste said that during the training they watched videos, practiced techniques and shared personal experiences that helped her and the other participants understand both the victim and the bully.
"(The program) helps you notice more and it helps you react quicker because before, most of us didn't stop it because we didn't know how to, but with the program, you just know what's going on and you know how to take certain measures," she said.
The group she's part of continues to meet regularly to share successes and failures, techniques, and how to keep the program going during subsequent years.
She's also involved in the Navy ROTC and plans to pursue a military career. The leadership practice in the school ambassadors program has been a complement to her ROTC work, and she hopes the program will continue.
"I hope that this program goes on for a long time because it's such a great program, but I also hope to see people getting along more. Stop with the whole clique thing. Stop judging people by what they wear or who they are externally and get outside of your comfort zone and talk to people you wouldn't normally talk to," she said. "Just get along."
Do you know of a student who should be in the spotlight? Contact Lisa Deaderick at (619) 293-2503, or email@example.com

Meanwhile, we are encouraged by the Roche's efforts to boost
its already strong oncology portfolio. Earlier this month, Roche
announced that a subcutaneous formulation of its oncology drug,
Herceptin, was approved in Europe for treating patients suffering
from HER2+ breast cancer.
We note that Roche has a solid position in the breast cancer
market. Apart from Herceptin, Roche has drugs like Perjeta and
Kadcyla in its kitty for the treatment of patients suffering from
HER2+ breast cancer.
The EU approval of the subcutaneous formulation of Herceptin
should further strengthen the breast cancer franchise at Roche
which generated sales of CHF 3.3 billion in the first half of
2013, up 11% year over year.
Roche currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Right now,
Jazz Pharmaceuticals
) and
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals
) look attractive with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
