REAL fan????

17 Nov '02

Of course it is easier to get front row at a GA concert!!! That is a given! I really am offended by the way some people on this list are saying that "REAL" fans will find a way to get into the HOF show. Some of us can not go. So apparently this makes us not REAL fans. Well then what the hell do i have all of these freakin albums for huh? Here is a question that is the REAL topic of this "debate". What makes a "REAL" Police/Sting fan? Money? The ability to spend huge amounts of cash in travel, tickets and import albums? The time and energy to wait backstage for hours upon hours? I am pretty poor so this is not an option for me. I think it is dedication. I buy all of his albums, I look for him on the net, I scan the TV guide for shows with him in it etc. I go to concerts and try for the best seats. If I lived closer to NY I would be hunting down the place where he stays and waiting outside in the cold---not for days, but for a while. But we must agree that even if we love Sting and the Police....no matter how much...most of us have to worry about our REAL lives first. Which statement applies to you: My REAL life take alot of time away from my love of Sting OR My love of Sting takes alot of time away from my REAL life. I guess that to be a REAL fan (according to some people on this list) is to: A) spend lots of $$$, B) follow Sting around like a hound after a rabbit, C) not have a worthy enough REAL life to worry about where your priorities lay D) be able to drop everything to chase after those "ever important" tickets E) be able to tell everyone else what a "fan" is REMEMBER THAT THE WORD "FAN" COMES FROM THE WORD FANATIC.

It was hard work but as a dedicated fan it paid off. I was also in the front row for that Central Park concert. But let me just say that if you think that getting in the front row for a General Admission concert is "the same" as getting into this Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame performance, I've got a bridge to sell you. Of course I'm speaking in generalized terms here but, getting to this show will be about one of two things: Who you know, or how much money you have. OK, throw in luck too, but this is a situation where it is NOT in the control of the fans if they attend (no matter how long they sleep in a gutter). Please don't compare the HOF to GA shows, which are STILL the fairest way for true fans to see their favorite bands up close without being among the privileged.

I'm with you Jane! One problem though ... the man doesn't have enough HAIR to puff it up again!!! oooooh, I'm getting all verklempt (don't know how to spell that, I just heard it on SNL one time!!!) How about this.... Instead of Andy and Stew inviting Bono to do the South Africa show, how about Joe? He just needs a little more yoga, a little bleach and he's there! Ooh we are reverting back to the teen years, aren't we?

police reunion wont happen

I was a police fan from 1978 onwards untill sting decided he wanted to go off at playing solo!. But the fact is that this man has been living off the "legend"of the police since he left the band. Why would he want to reform ,when he already plays police hits all the time and he relies on former police fans to keep his bank balance healthy. you have got to admit his solo work isn't a patch on police material (my opinion) that mans ego split up a band that still had one good album in them at least,but because people still buy his solo stuff ,he has no reason to reform the police . the equation is simple ego=solo stuff /no solo stuff = police reunion this is only my opinion,so if you feel like you need to abuse me for them dont bother because the delete is within my reach "the police have left the building" end

This should NOT be called the Doors. I know there are a few Doors fans here, and I know that some people are looking forward to this and will find a positive spin, but just for the record I hate this idea. First time in history I'm not into a Stewart project. Go figure. What the Hell happened to the Vinx/Clarke/Satriani thing?

Mick saying that the moment just felt right to do it. They both agreed that it had felt good to be sharing the stage again. Joe pledged his support to the striking firefighters and said that all public sector workers needed to be treated better. They make up the fabric of our society and should be entitled to a decent standard of living. >>>>>>>> And they're still political. God Damn. The world sure needs you guys again.
