Today is ILLEGAL TALES 20TH BIRTHDAY!
by Giovanni Pollastri 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Today is ILLEGAL TALES 20TH BIRTHDAY! On April 20th and 21st 1988 Sting was in Milano for a couple of nights at the Arena (...Nothing Like The Sun Tour). This was considered the X-day to launch what was called then Sting's Magazine from their creators, a new fanzine totally devoted to Sting & The Police. I joined them from the first day they issued it, even if I didn't work for that first issue, I started working from the second one issued a couple of months later, but I decided to join them from that day; it was a mutual 'need'. To tell the truth, the creators kept themselves out of the magazine after three issues (money, brothers, is always a matter of money), so I decided to keep everything on my shoulders and give it a longer life (passion, brothers, passion). >From Sting's Magazine it became ILLEGAL TALES, as it was about the three of them, not only Sting. Month by month and year by year, it became more and more well known, not only from the members of the band, but from the record company as well, from the management in UK (I will never say enough thanks to Tina, Dave and Wendy, and later on to everyone at The Police management) and from Tv stations in Italy as well as radios. The computer era with internet made me wanna open a website (www.illegaltales.com from 1998) and abandon the paper version. Illegal Tales brought me to have Sting on tv talking about the fanzine and his records, brought me to collaborate with Andy Summers on his several italian tours, being on tv playing with him ... too many memories my friends... The success of Illegal Tales on the web, drove me to work on a specific web for Stewart Copeland...you all know how it went.... I still take a look at some of those earlier efforts on paper.... So thank you ILLEGAL TALES, 20 years by my side...not too many fanzines grow up in such a fabulous way! And thanks to all I met because of that little creation that became bigger than what I could expect! Ciao ciao Giovanni

I love "Mother"! This article reminds me about a statement Sting made a number of years ago, about the fact that he wrote all of the best Police songs. I can't argue with that, but I would argue that he was also responsible for their worst material. Omaha www.omahaperez.com Message: 4 Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:33:48 -0400 From: "Robert N.

While 'Sally' and 'Mother' aren't "Like A Rolling Stone" lyrically, they still kick ass musically. And 'EXP' on AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE by hendrix is great.

Well, it had to be that or "Behind My Camel". How on earth Behind My Camel won a Grammy is beyond me. Both "Behind My Camel" and "Mother", however, were clearly outdone by Sting's "Whenever I Say Your Name" which, in my humble opinion, is perhaps the biggest ball of cheese ever to come out of the mind of the man himself.. It absolutely kills me. I cannot find one redeeming aspect about that song other than, perhaps, Joy Rose's very powerful live performance on that song during the tour. I would say the only reason "Whenever I Say Your Name" didn't make it on the 5 Terrible Songs From Great Albums list is that, by definition, the album on which the track resides has to be "Great", and Sacred Love clearly wasn't. I like Sacred Love more than most, but even I have to admit that wasn't Sting's greatest work. Just thought I'd stir the pot with my 2 cents ;) Cheers, Bruce in TO -----Original Message----- From: police-bounces@mailman.xmission..com [mailto:police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Robert N.

Lemon Tree
by Steve Agovino 09 Apr '08

Hi Mikkel, Just checked the Youtube clips - the "Dreams Of Paradise" video has an overdub of the Fool's Garden (original) version. If you have iTunes, though, run a search of the store on "Lemon Tree". The version by Dreams Of Paradise is the "Sting"-sounding cover. And I hadn't heard of Dreams Of Paradise either. But I vaguely remember the Stingus thread about that. Steve > Hmmm. The mystery deepens! > > I have never heard of "Dreams of Paradise", but I checked youtube and > found the song. I am convinced, though, that it is the same song/singer > as in Fool's Garden. > > Compare for yourself: > > "Dreams of Paradise": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i190mhciaMs > "Fool's Garden": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCDIt50hRDs > > Oh, btw. there is an old thread on stingus about the song: > http://www.stingus.net/forum/threads.php?id=2806_0_13_0_C > > Apparently the guy singing is called Stephan Maria Gl?ckner. > > Mikkel
