Man, I'm such an 80's girl... you got me all nostalgic about the Clash, I'm on a roll. My 6 year old daughter got me going last night when she put in the live police cd. I don't know what possessed her, but she said "i want to listen to the Police, mommy" (good girl)! At least one out of my three kids has good musical taste! HONESTLY, I've never forced that one on her... I can't say that I've ever listend to the boys with her around, just Sting stuff! Now to play the clash for her. Sting tomorrow night and sat night, I'm psyched! Michelle

Sting merchandise question
by DorinaCha＠aol.com 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Hello- I looked on the website and it appears that Sting does not have much new tour merchandise on this leg of the tour? Is this correct for those of you who have seen him on this leg of the tour? Are there many new tshirts, etc...that might not be on the website? Thanks in advance! Laura

Travel in style (in Newcastle)
by Panda 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

Ok, guys, there we go! With my trip to Newcastle still long ahead (is it in November, the gig I mean), I try to figure out how to spend my weekend there in a way that every self-respecting Sting's fan would do it. In style, so to speak! :-) Firstly I've heard that Sting's brother Philip is running a pub in Newcastle so if you know it's name (or even better it's address too), I'd be happy to hear about it. Secondly from your own experience there, which places did you go and what was made your heart beat faster by visiting it. It's time guys to share your own experience from your trips to Newcastle. Cheers, Panda

Panda- I lived in Newcastle for a year once. It is a really, really great town (or "toon," in the Geordie dialect), and a lot of fun. Pleaces to go / things to do: Grey street... This is the high street of Newcastle... the Theater Royale, where the Royal Shakesperian Company performs, is here. There are also a lot of shops and historical buildings. Grey street runs from the center of the city all the way down to the river Tyne. The quayside, along the Tyne, is also a neat place to go. There are a lot of old buildings there, lots of pubs and restaurants, and the night life is a lot of fun. There is the castle that Newcastle is named for... it's Norman, if I recall correctly, and dates from about the 12th century (again, IIRC). Not all that big or imposing, but neat nonetheless. There are also several old churches and cathedrals that are pretty. If you walk around the city center and down to the quayside, you'll have plenty to do and see. As far as "Stingish" landmarks... they are kind of spread out. The theater where Sting met his first wife is at the University, next to the Student Union. I saw some plays there while I was there. Sting actually grew up in Wallsend, which is a little outside the city proper, though I suppose you could get there by bus if you really wanted to. Last Exit used to play in Gosforth, which is slightly outside the city also. The place where they played (The Gosforth Inn, I think?) is still there, but it's nothing that special. When I lived there, I thought it was neat to just be in "The city in the fog where the seagulls play." The Geordies are a wonderful, warm, and generally friendly people. I don't know how good your English is, but be ready to not understand anyone... it's almost a different language! If I were going back to Newcastle, I'd just try to see the city and enjoy myself. It's a great place. -Tim >>> "Panda" <panda(a)karme.com> 9/15/2004 4:25:00 PM >>> Ok, guys, there we go!

>That's one problem with the world today. Lots of people are so >afraid that they might piss someone off that they avoid saying >anything the least bit negative. Yeah, that's a good point. Another problem is speaking of people in generalization. It's wrong in principle, who cares if it's insulting to anyone or not. I don't care if Sting pisses someone off by speaking his mind, I say go for it, but "a bunch of long hairs"? Yeah, the terrorists won't get upset, and what do we care if we offend them? The point is that we shouldn't turn ugly onto ourselves. I think Sting had a moment of anger, like several of us have had-- or just had. :) I think he replaced what suddenly came to mind (which was probably really offensive) with what he said. Obviously, if he had thought that much about it, he would have said something more intelligent. I think this is such an issue to me, because of how too easy it is to just disregard people and lump them together. The point isn't whether you're offending someone or not. The point is that you should be specific. I know, such a big point for such a relatively small thing that was said, but...a point nonetheless.

J said... >>I can't believe he said that.......... "a bunch of long hairs"????? Wow. That could upset a few people. Wasn't he thinking? J.>> J, That's one problem with the world today. Lots of people are so afraid that they might piss someone off that they avoid saying anything the least bit negative. I say, tell it like it is. Who gives a rats ass if "someone" gets "upset"? The someones you refer to want you and your family dead, and also anyone that isn't their particular brand of Muslim. Gary PS. Have you seen the news lately?
