I've got four or five records in my head at a time that I try to work on and I would like to do a guitar trio record next - since The Police I've mostly made records with keyboards.

We also have to recognize, in addition to the challenges that we face with policing, there are so many good, brave police officers who equally want reform.

All those ridiculous songs about love - I finally understood.
