Synopsis Using the 2007 reunion tour of famous rock band the Police as a jumping off point, Police drummer Stewart Copeland has written a marvelous and surprising memoir about his life. Much more than a mere rock bio, STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN describes Copeland's childhood in the Middle East and his travels in the African Congo. With an easy wit and a gift for storytelling, Copeland paints an honest portrait of the oddity of the middle-aged rock star reality.
