yes, another shameless play for lucynell's attention. she liked the other stuart copeland pics i posted, so i thought i'd slide her one more. its from the same photo session as one of the others. what is he resting up against? some kind of like, musk ox pelt or something? and then there's that persian or central american platter and pitcher thing on stand-by. and i could be wrong, but that cigarette looks 'hand-rolled' if you know what i mean. and if his hair was any more bleached he'd be mae west. yeah, i know that was their 'thing.' and lucy, maybe you can give me a definitive answer on this one, because none of the dudes i asked seems to know. was he english or american? he doesn't seem to have much of an accent. but i've had people tell me he's like, from sussex or something. and others have told me he was born in LA. so maybe you can clear that up for us. and i hope you like the shot. he kind of reminds me of my cousin eric in the face. (and hey, eric, if you're out there, drop me a line. you know who i am.)

Stewart Copeland is technically American. He was born in Virginia. His Dad, Miles Copeland was a southerner, from Alabama. He was in the Army and played trumpet in the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Later Stew's dad was a big wig in the CIA. His mother is Scottish. Stewart grew up in Lebanon and Egypt going to American schools. He has a slightly affected American accent. He also grew up speaking fluent Arabic.
Sadly, I know a lot about Stewart Copeland. EArly in the Police years, every picture of them they were posing in front of a bunch of jive-ass props. This pic has a "world music" vibe that they kind of dipped into from time to time.
