Professor of Rock

How The Police Went from Rejection to Global Superstars with "Message in a Bottle"

22 min • 30 juni 2023
Up next, a band that had to fight tooth and nail to get airplay on American radio in the late 70s. The Police struggled to get a fair shake in 1979 but just a few years later they were the #1 band in the world when Synchronicity and Every Breath You Take were #1 globally. Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland’s global domination would begin with today’s song that is a no doubt about it classic. The 70s classic Message in a Bottle and in a way it was written by the singer Sting's dog… while the music was written in the back of a van while the band was traveling 100 miles an hour on the autobahn. Decades later it’s a surprise the song was recorded at all because the band was at each others’ throats all the time…Fist fights and shouting matches… but it kept the creative juices flowing. the amazing story is next on Professor of Rock.
