Stewart Copeland | THe Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

What happens when a rock legend stops being just “the drummer from The Police” and spends decades chasing every other creative obsession? Stewart Copeland and Billy Corgan skip the greatest hits and tumble down the Rumble Fish rabbit hole with Francis Coppola. They revisit the “hell on earth” final Police sessions and unpack why band therapy involved incense and a lot of gazing into each other’s eyes. Also on the menu: a prison-themed song with a very John Waters title, a horse incident (Stewart insists the record be corrected), an opera that got shredded by critics, a night in a Zaire jail, and a German superfan with questionable priorities. Then it gets thoughtful: the strange weight of the rock-star “avatar,” what AI means for the musical middle class, and what happened when Stewart’s son built a digital version of him.
