One thing that he mentioned that I'd never heard before (after 8 years on this list!) was that while Sting deserves the writing credits for Roxanne, Andy told Sting where to put the bass notes to make it more "reggae." When Sting first presented it, it was more of a straight ahead rock song.
I always thought it was Stewart who taught Sting where to put the bass notes in Roxanne, I'm sure I read it in a Police biography I have. I wonder who deserves more credit, but I tend to believe what my book says. After all, hasn't Stewart/Klark Kent always been more of a bass player than Andy? A big envious WOW from Italy to those who made it to the Show in NY. Michele
