I agree with this in a way. Jason you are such a nut. :D That just wasn't necessary for him to say. He sounds like a fuddy- duddy former teacher from the "sixties". I'm not so easily offended (though I have long hair myself). Such generalizations are beneath a man of his intelligence and life experience. They sound irrational and ugly--even if you are talking about terrorists. The principle is the same.

Other people who might be offended: ZZ Top, Girls (with long hair) There's me thinking he meant just anyone with long hair. :) J. >Since when does the length of ones hair have a racial or religious >association with it?

I've never liked when he talked about himself as a novice, or something like. It's an insecurity response, I guess.

Hello to all! I'm leaving on my first trip to the UK on Sunday. And I'm wondering if anyone had some suggestions as to where I might find Police t-shirts or sweatshirts to buy in London (the e-mail re: buying online got me thinking of this). Please e-mail me privately if you could be of assistance in this quest. Thanks in advance, Anne (a lurker from Nova Scotia)

I thought the exact same thing! PLUS what's this about? "That's fine, people can be lukewarm or red-hot or cold, that's not why I make records," he said. "I make the best record that I possibly can in the time given with my limited talent." Is he being sarcastic or all of a sudden becoming humble?

Sting, Lennox Stay Out of Anti-Bush Tour
by StingUs 10 Sep '04

By Gelu Sulugiuc NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sting has been an ardent activist for many causes, but he's not getting involved in the U.S. presidential election. He and fellow singer Annie Lennox said they admired the efforts of two dozen musicians on a tour aimed at ousting President Bush, but couldn't join them because they are British citizens. "It wouldn't be our place to do that, we're guests in this country and we don't have a vote," Sting said in a recent phone interview. "Some of my friends are on that tour and I think it's laudable what they're doing." The "Vote for Change" tour features Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Pearl Jam, R.E.M. and other artists who will play 34 shows in October in nine states that are hotly-contested in the presidential election. Proceeds from the tour will go to liberal political action group America Coming Together. Sting, who was in Atlanta to raise money for his Rainforest Foundation, said he couldn't understand why the United States and Great Britain joined forces to invade Iraq. "They could've used the resources and the energy to really try and get who was responsible for 9/11," Sting said. "It wasn't Saddam Hussein, it's a bunch of long-hairs who are probably in Pakistan right now." "Obviously I was very glad to see the back of Saddam Hussein," Lennox added in the same interview. "But the country is a terrible mess now and I don't see how they're going to be able to extricate themselves from it without tremendous cost of money and life." Sting sold more than 95 million records with The Police and as a solo artist, while Lennox hit it big with '80s rock duo Eurythmics before going on her own. They met in the late 70s at a BBC recording session and now share the bill on the "Sacred Love" tour. Lennox performs songs from her 2003 solo work, "Bare," a deeply emotional album about the breakup of her marriage. "I'm always touching on the edge of emotional abyss," she said. "That seems to be my life and I seem to write about it." The tour is named after Sting's latest album, "Sacred Love," which received lukewarm reviews last year. "That's fine, people can be lukewarm or red-hot or cold, that's not why I make records," he said. "I make the best record that I possibly can in the time given with my limited talent."

Re: [Police] Sting in Nashville....
by Loziric＠aol.com 09 Sep '04

Hi all, couldn't agree more mike. I just got back from Nashville and the show last night (I'm from Cincinnati) Let me start from the beginning, I got in the car with my lovely wife on Sunday to run a few local errands. Five hours later we pull into Nashville. She had suprised me with 8th row center stage tickets. I was and am still blown away. We had an incredible time, it was incredibly human and Annie even mentioned how hot it was. Sting's shirt was completely soaked and he hasn't sounded better, he said he had a froggy caught in his throat. I saw him in July here in Cincy and he had just as much energy as before. Same exact set, Highlights included Synchronicity II, Deads Man Rope, Roxanne (he incorporated King of Pain and another Police song in the middle, possibly Driven to Tears into it) it was awesome. He smiled alot and made eye contact with the audience, flirting with girls in the few first rows. Being that close is unbelievable, after the show Danny (Sting's tech) left his drink on the stage, a woman went up and took it, and we figured out that it was Lemon Lime Gaterade. Anyway, enough rambling, if my wiffe kidnaps me again to a show I wil let everyone know how it went, I sure love my wife! Louis
