Stewart Copeland of the Police: (Talking about The Police) That's the fun of a trio. Each person has a wide area to cover, and it helps build a strong character. There are a lot of four-member or five-member bands that are really great, of course. But if you get the right three guys, it simultaneously distills everything and amplifies everything. For me, it's a magic number. Even though the other night [at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony] we were just a faint echo of our former glory, we actually hit the spot a couple times.
