I played guitar on Sting's "Nothing Like The Sun" World Tour (1988). He and I were having breakfast in Sydney when a Muzak version of "Every Breath You Take" started dripping from the hotel sound system. He just looked up at the ceiling and smiled. Ka-ching! (P.S. - read my book!)

Extracting a pick from a guitar is much harder than playing a guitar.

These posts from Senators always feel like a policeman is pulling me aside and telling me a crime is being committed. WTF? I don't have a badge - YOU DO!

You know why I love reading? These days it’s one of the few respites from being constantly advertised to.

Yep. We played Ivory Coast and Zimbabwe. Amnesty International "Human Rights Now" with Sting, Springsteen & E Street, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman. We went around the world in 6 weeks. Thanks for checking out my book!

I briefly discuss crowd control (or the lack of it) in the book. Sting's discarded shirt nearly caused a riot in Abidjan (Africa)

In the span of 2 weeks, I went from selling candy in Broadway theaters to touring the world with Sting. It was a WILD ride.
