But I presume that was a joke :-) Bernard is the singer for New Order. I don't think he's directly related to Sting, but I suppose it's possible that they share a relation or two at some point in their family trees. Mitch

Now I've not ever heard this either - though I have heard OF it. As I recall, it was co-written by Sting and Lynn Goldsmith (the photographer - she did a book of photos on the Police). A friend of her's, recorded it under the name Will Powers. I *think* It somewhat concerns me that I can remember this much, yet not know how the Hell I know it. I must seen it in print somewhere along the line. I also seem to recall that Sting did something with the band Reflex (of "Politics of Dancing" fame). Who knows? Anyone? Anyone? Mitch

U2 ... Police mentionned
by Kinetic Kid 18 Aug '02

18 Aug '02

Hey all, I don't know if any of you have watched the U2 biography on tv, i think it's a VH1 profile on the band. They we're saying that U2 was called the band of the 80's according to Roling Stone magazine, i thought they said the same thing about the Police. And they also mentionned the Amnesty tour with the Police as they were passing they're instruments to U2 saying that they were giving the torch to them. Actually, we don't know who was the bigger band in the 80's but we do know who continued. Doesn't it anoy you to know that it should have been the Police continuing they're legacy! I guess i was jealous of what U2 fans have had that us Police fans haven't had. It sucks! And that's life !! Kinetic Kid __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

more benefit info
by Maggie White 18 Aug '02

18 Aug '02

There are also tentative plans for the artists to donate items for an Internet auction that will raise funds for the White family, as well as for a select number of VIP tickets to be made available that would include a reception with the artists. Tickets go on sale for both shows Aug. 26 through Ticketmaster. Tickets will be available at the FleetCenter box office Aug. 26, and at the Madison Square Garden box office Aug. 27. Ticket prices are still being set; net proceeds will go to the White family. As they develop, further details will be made available on Billboard.com.

Confirmed for both shows are John Mellencamp, Don Henley, Sheryl Crow, and Sting. Jimmy Buffett and Brian Wilson will also appear at the New York concert, while James Taylor will play in Boston. Lucky East Coast fans again. There may be more info on the Billboard site. Don't know about tix. Maggie

Sting Collaboration with Robert Palmer

Does anybody an mp3 of this, or something like that? Two of my favorite artists :)) it's called "Adventures in Success" and I'm not sure I've ever seen it mentioned in *anything* about Sting I've read.... but I just saw it in a Robert Palmer biography/discography. It was done in 1983, apparently. Well, Til Again, Dave [Man in a Suitcase]

by Kinetic Kid 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Hey everyone! What hapened to Jack Bruce and Andy teaming up? Weren't they supposed to make a supergroup together record and go on the road or something? I hope someone can clear this up! p.s: Joe replies back to emails that are sent to him, my closest contact yet to a Sting family member. I never any of the Police members to this date, probably never will... Cheers, Kinetic Kid __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
