Sting & Anoushka Shankar

With all The Police shows I had forgotten all about this release... The song is called Sea Dreamer and is included in the Breathing Under Water album by Anoushka Shankar. It's actually very nice, IMO, in the line of Book of my Life. Enjoy http://www.megaupload.com/pt/?d=WKMF2EWQ Nuno

Instead of bitching and moaning about some idiot(s) who get paid to rile up readers to sell more magazines over at Blender, let me share some of my favorite Sting lyrics that I just heard on my iPod. Of course, this is only my opinion... "Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission And no one's jamming their transmission When their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you" Hell Yeah! And of course the first verse: "Don't think me unkind Words are hard to find They're only cheques I've left unsigned >From the banks of chaos in my mind" THINK BLUE!

I think it's easy to skim the bad stuff off a sea of high quality lyrics. Funny thing is that, while I would never claim the bad stuff is good, it always seems to be tongue-in-cheek. I can't believe Sting had any illusions about "shake and cough/that book by Nabakov", or the brontosaurus in "Walking in Your Footsteps".... Ang

It Happened! Padovani On Stage With The Police
by KVayedjian＠aol.com 08 Oct '07

I just checked YouTube and sure enough there were two "Next To You" footage from the event. Even though the second footage is only 42 seconds, you get to hear Henri playing a little bit of solo while Andy's holding the riff. It's not a life changing experience but hey, it's history. I so wish they took a shot at "Fall Out" instead, though. Why not take the risk for a couple of nights for a change? Koko Here's the link: _http://youtube.com/results?search_query=police+padovani_ (http://youtube.com/results?search_query=police+padovani) France Honours The Police For Its 'New Sound' Mon Oct 1 PARIS (AFP) - The rock band trio The Police on Monday received a French award for their contribution to the arts after playing two sell-out concerts in Paris. French Culture Minister Christine Albanel conferred the Order of the Arts and Letters on Britons Gordon Sumner (Sting) and Andy Summers and American Stewart Copeland. Albanel praised the 80s group for the "new sound" that they generated and expressed "France's full admiration and recognition" for the band's music. "We are very touched because we deeply admire French culture," Sting told reporters in French following the brief ceremony at the culture ministry in Paris. He jokingly commented that as British subjects, he and Summers found it "very exotic" to be made "chevaliers" of the order of the French republic. Albanel praised Sting's "charisma and uncommon character" and noted that the first guitarist recruited to be part of the initial group in 1977 was Frenchman Henry Padovani, who was ousted after Summers joined that year. Padovani joined the trio on stage in Paris on Saturday to perform "Next To You", marking the first stage appearance of all four band members since the tour was launched in May. Thirty years after the band was formed, The Police -- now in their mid-fifties and 60s -- are back on stage, performing such vintage hits as "Roxanne" -- about a Paris prostitute -- "Message In A Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take." Close to 80,000 fans packed a stadium north of Paris on Saturday and Sunday to hear The Police, who will wrap up their European tour this month before heading back to the Americas ahead of concert dates in Australia, New Zealand and Asia next year. Shortly before noon on Monday, Sting, Summers and Copeland caused a commotion when they arrived at the culture ministry on rented bicycles that are part of the city's newest environmentally-friendly scheme. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Saw them in Dublin and loved every minute of it. Means so much, especially after what this year's been like. I posted various other bits and pieces of anecdotery in the forum under "Dublin - October 6th" in the concert reviews section. Would love to hear Dietmar's story - were they letting people into the stadium for the soundcheck? We didn't come until about 6pm... Angeline
