taking things too seriously....
by Jeremy (Cheekyguides) 05 Sep '03

Folks, I had some really hilarious emails waiting for me when I awoke this morning regarding the "questioning Sting" email. Most of them were just "oh that's funny" or that sort of thing, but someone actually reprimanded me for sharing Stings email address with the list. Here's a thought for you: 1) Would I really send an email to Sting asking for his money ? 2) Would I really make comments about Trudie being a swinger ? 3) Would I really email him talking about Carters "deposit" in Tuscany? 4) Would I really send stings email address to the mailing list ? 5) Seeing as I am reasonably well known for adding a little bit of fun to my posts, you guys should know better Michelle, your post was my favourite reply Jer

ebay auction
by Mark Tigges 05 Sep '03

I'll bet that most people were hoping that the ebay issue was over. I just got an email from EBay that indicates they are investigating the auctions. It seems that there is at least a chance that they were fraudulent. Does anybody have any more info? I remember one post to the list that indicated they had spoken with Tina who had at least inferentially legitimized the auctions by commenting on them. But of course that post might have been fraud as well. The payee is a company named LP Visions Inc. I sent an email to Tina, but if someone here knows the auctions were real or fake, I'd love to know. I'm sure that the response would be quicker. Thanks, Mark.

I actually asked him if it was legit. Yeah, I fell for Jeremy's e-mail, too. Sting, after all, has been on Howard Stern's show, so to me, Sting's faux response, if put in the right context, was believable, especially since I'm not familiar with Jeremy's humor. And being as the alleged victim in the Kobe Bryant case has had her identity splattered across the 'Net, I didn't think twice about Sting's e-mail address being posted, about privacy issues. Sounds as if many people fell for Jeremy's post. Maybe that makes a statement about our society? The 'Net lifts the net off personal privacy. We'll believe anything. Maybe because we've heard it all? The 'Net is a megaphone for sensationalism. We're getting deep here. Talk about "taking things too seriously." Johnny Nitro

I feel the same way. My first listen to any Sting album rivals a religious experience. I lock myself away, make sure nobody can bother me, and experience the album as a whole. I would NOT want to hear the songs dribble out one by one. I'm surprised not more Sting fans have expressed this thought. Anticipation, I suppose, overpowers most. But if you can wait for the album release, your patience will reap quite a reward. By the way, excellent post, Bruce. Beautifully composed. Johnny Nitro

Plan A
by Ross Viner 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Hey, What do you guys think about this idea? We all Decide upon a time where we will ALL be listing to the new album "Simultaneously"?> Even taking into account time zone differences? Since there are differing release dates for regions, it would have to follow the last release date? For example, I could propose September 30 at 2 PM (therefore 10 PM in the England). Then we can all start inundating the list with our reviews? Watchya think?

Paris tickets
by Maggie White 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

OK, is it just me, or does anyone else detect a whiff of desperation regarding the ticket sales for the Paris show? Every time I log on to Sting.com there's a new pop-up window offering tickets for sale. Plus the eBay auctions, plus the incessant (and top of the list) links on the website. Tickets were "sure to sell out quickly" or something like that, but here we are, two weeks later, and there still seems to be plenty available. I have two that I most likely won't be able to use (by choice, I can't afford the trip to Paris), but it seems like they aren't the super rare items they were advertised as. I thought the ticket prices were reasonable, but it seems they aren't selling fast. Still, should be a wonderful show for those who are able to attend. I just wonder if it will be a packed house or not. Maggie

Hi Jeremy, Either a.) Sting's really funny, or b.)I'm really gullible and you're really funny. I think I'd guess it is the latter.
