Stewart Copeland, composer and drummer for The Police, has stated that he once, "Bogarted a joint from a Beatle."
It was Paul McCartney.
He's also a magnificent drummer, and a fine composer.
I want to Bogart a joint with Paul McCartney. Hell, I want to Bogart a joint with Ringo.
Just so you know, McCartney never held this against him.Q: What’s been your most cringe-worthy run-in with a celebrity?
A: I once Bogarted a Beatle. It was at the after party for the Foo Fighters concert at Wembley Stadium. Somebody says, “Oh, I smell marijuana”, and so I wander over in that general direction just as somebody’s handing a joint. So I said, “OK, sure” – just to be polite – I took the joint, and I looked over and I realised that the intended recipient of the joint was none other than Paul McCartney. And I had just interrupted the passage of this chalice to the great one! I had interloped in this moment.
I went to bed that night not quite sure whether I was mortally embarrassed or if that was kind of a cool brag.
