Andy Summers from The Police talks "Every Breath You Take", Punk, The Exorcist and Telecasters

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and "The Most Heard Guitarist Of All Time", Andy Summers from The Police!

We talk all about how he got into playing punk/new wave after being a "jazz player", how he found the Fender Telecaster, 80's guitarists and Eddie Van Halen, being the "most heard guitarist of all time" as Every Breath You Take is the most played song in radio history!

We also talk about how "Every Breath You Take" almost ended up in the trash and how he saved it with his guitar lick! Why wasn't he given song writing credit? Could he be suing Sting soon?
