Yeah, a little too much coverage at the Whisky. The black cargo pants were working for me, but the jacket covering the biceps, not so much. Where was that Grammy shirt? Just glad the ribbony jacket wasn't present, although, it was a nice visual of the abs back in the day! OK, now I've provided TMI.

It's officially big ...
by Mikkel Z. Herold 21 Feb '07

Today, one of the usual Viagra pushing spam messages in my daily dose of junk mails had the subject line "The Police reunite for 30th anniversary tour" - I guess that when news makes it to spam mail subject lines, it is oficially big :-D Mikkel -- "At first just a rustle of canvas And the gentlest breath on my face But a galloping line of white horses Said that soon we were in for a race" Sting - The Wild Wild Sea www.mzh.dk

"old suit" vs. "old shoes"
by foxie 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

my how times have changed! * sting, in 'behind the music' episode on the police, called the '92 "reunion" at his wedding like "putting on an old suit", motioning that the suit doesn't fit anymore * sting, in interview segment on rehearsal/reunion/tour announcement, saying getting back together now is like "putting on an old pair of shoes", saying "yeah...this is so comfortable." rich (foxie) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk?

Ticket*grumble*
by Pete Ashdown 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Well just for kicks, I decided to try again after lunch. There must be some weird voodoo going on with how they're allocating tickets, because now I got 17th row in section 104. Not as good as what I had this morning at 10:00 AM, but at least I'm going!

I camped out on the Ticketbastard site and managed to secure 2 tickets in Denver on the 8th row of 102. Then when I went to buy them, it told me that I already had an account. Fine, email me my password. Then I sit and wait for the email to come in and my time runs out and the email never comes! I go back on to get tickets and sorry, they're ALL GONE. I can't tell you how pissed I am right now.

Questions about One Train Later
by David 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Ok, so I'm sure more will pop up over time... First, for anyone who hasn't read this book, although the first 3/4 of it are very good, I got to the part about The Police playing in Argentina, and Andy kicking the policeman, and I was actually driven to tears at the tension and passion of the situation, and what it meant to people in that country at that time... if you haven't read this book, even if you didn't know anything about The Police (which I know you do... aw, come on and admit it!), this book is really top notch and worth a read. Anyway: Andy said that there was a show they did in maybe Argentina, on the Zenyatta Tour, or right around that time, where he said that it was probably the best version of Don't Stand So Close to Me they *ever* played. Is there any way at all to get a hold of this? Were these foreign shows recorded? Second, what happened to his pink shoes? Does anyone know if he's planning on wearing them for the concerts, or if he could be cajoled into doing so? :-D Third, it says that Zenyatta was remixed and COMPLETELY redone by the band in one day of frenzied madness. What happened to the original album !?! Does anyone have access to the original? I thought the Ghost demos were really neat, if unpolished, but a whole different version of Zenyatta!? Wow! On a side note there, Shadows In The Rain was originally a jazzy sort of number by Sting.... so what happened to his Zenyatta demos? More to come as I finish and perhaps reread the book. I suppose I'm putting this thread out there (well, it looks like a thread to me, I use Gmail) in order to help answer any questions surrounding issues raised in the book, and potentially discuss what these things might mean for the future of The Police (ie new material). Every time I think I'm over this Police reunion, I start listening to their stuff again and get all jazzed (no pun intended!) up. David[MiaS]
