Why Sting sang What Are You Doing
by Maggie White 05 Dec '05

I know the woman who suggested to Sting that he sing "What are you doing for the rest of your life" is on this list. At the Chris Botti show on Friday night in LA (with all the special guests, including Sting), Chris told the story about why Sting sang this song. Chris said something like: the reason this next guest is singing this song is because a fan stopped him on the street and suggested it. You know, we all see someone famous and want to suggest something to them (this was said as a joke. It got a good laugh). I don't know who that fan was, I don't know where she is today or what she's doing, but she's the reason this song was recorded. It was actually longer than that, but I can't remember it all. I'm not even sure Chris was certain it was a female fan. Maybe his story will end up on the PBS special and/or the DVD of this show. There were two shows they filmed from, but apparently, those who saw both felt the Friday show was better. So presumably, more of the Friday show will end up on tape. Anyway, just wanted you to know that you were the reason, FOR SURE. Maggie --------------------------------- Yahoo! Personals Single? There's someone we'd like you to meet.

Re: [Police] Magazine special editions

Hi, If this message comes much later than the discussion began, it's because I still can't receive individual emails from this list, despite having selected that option when I signed up. Anyway, I've also been wishing some magazine would do a special edition on The Police and their various solo efforts, but I don't think it's likely. Generally my impression is that for some reason, they don't get the same level of interest or respect in specialist magazines as other comparable acts, so I suspect we may have to content ourselves with the odd article. The closest thing I can think of is the big feature Uncut magazine did a couple of years ago about the band and its disintegration, and if you don't already have that, I'd recommend contacting their back issues dept. as it makes for very interesting reading.
