Brett is absolutely obsessed with playing chess! He used to carry his chess set everywhere he went, even on tour. One time, he was in London and needed to go to the US embassy. But those paranoid British folks wouldn’t let him in with his bag because they were afraid of terrorism. So, he cleverly hid his bag under a bush in a nearby park. After getting his new passport, he excitedly returned to the park, only to find out that the police had closed it off. To his surprise, there was a police officer holding his bag and asking if it belonged to anyone. Brett confidently claimed it as his own, but the officer was furious. He started lecturing Brett about the cost to the British taxpayer and demanded that he open the bag, fearing it might contain a bomb. Much to the officer’s relief (and Brett’s amusement), it turned out to be the timer for his chess set. It took some time, but Brett eventually convinced the officer that it was harmless. As they were parting ways, Brett overheard the officer playing some music and immediately knew he had to recruit him. He asked if the officer played chess, to which the officer replied, “Yeah, kind of.” Without hesitation, Brett exclaimed, “You’re in the band!”
