-- So if Sting released a rap album, pranced around wearing a baseball hat backwards, grabbed his crotch, and said things like "Yo, yo, yo, homies, StingDog is in the house," you'd buy right into his act? You'd put your hard-earned money down withot question and buy the new StingDog album? And you'd feel as if you couldn't criticize StingDog's new "artistic" direction before you listened to his "def new rhymes" at least 100 times? I don't think you would. And for anyone who did, I'd say they'd crossed the line between being a fan and being a sucker. Word. -- Now there's a concept. Count me a sucker. I'd put my hard-earned money down for this. And it's a trillion times more high-brow than Puff Daddy's rape of Every Breath You Take. Great idea, Johnny Nitro! ®@J _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Hi! I just booked a flight for next Monday to Newcastle, got to go to check the place up. Somebody wrote few weeks ago about similar trip, so if someone has information about the "must-sees" down there, please write to me! And if someone knows any happenings in Brits next week, I'd be happy to know, gonna stay for the whole week and I still don't know what I'll do and where I'll go after Newcastle. By the way, does Stings brother still have his pub? Could be a nice place to get few pints... T I M O

Stewart Copeland Gets STUNG!!!
by Stunglive＠cs.com 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

Brooks "Bee" Lundy from Police tribute band STUNG had the amazing fortune to jam with a hero, Police drummer STEWART COPELAND, at Stewart's birthday party at the Backstage Cafe in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, July 16th. Hosted by brother Ian Copeland and attended by family members including brother/manager Miles Copeland, Stewart jumped behind the kit and played amazing versions of Police classics "Driven To Tears" and "Roxanne"! Check out photos of the event at: http://www.stunglive.com Stewart's comments on the event: "...every nuance, every guitar riff, all the drum parts, and the singer has Sting down to a tee..." "Every now and then when everything seems normal, some little thing happens to remind me that it was really important to some people." Thank you, Stewart for giving US a gift on YOUR birthday...a dream come true! Big thanks to Joules and all the staff at Backstage Cafe, the whole Copeland Family, and Fallout for making it happen!

RE: [stingus] Stolen car & Stewart Copeland news
by Fred Berthelot 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

Glad to hear that Stolen Car will be included on the album. Back in December, Chris Botti told Andrea and me about this song and was raving about it -- it's about a car thief who fantasizes about the cars' owners' lives. Every car tells a different story about its owners. An odd premise, but Chris said it was really clever and very "Sting." It's funny 'cause we told Chris it sounded like that would be a B-side, and until recently it was supposed to be . I guess Like A Beautiful Smile will be the B-side...

>I don't understand why some on this list think it unhealthy or >unacceptable to criticize Sting. I consider myself one of his >biggest fans, but I don't worship the man. He's not above >criticism. If he releases a bad song, I'll say he's released a >bad song. I personally think the issue really isn't that no one should criticize him, or that he's above it. Rather, the issue seems to be how the criticism is expressed. I don't worship him either, though I've been a fan for many years. However, to me it does seem unfair criticism (there is a line to be crossed) when someone just says a song is "bad" or especially "it sucks". Myself, I prefer a more articulate response--whatever the opinion. I've found that generally those on the positive side tend to be a little more explanatory, than those on the negative. All I ask is that someone just say that they don't like it and here is why--and leave out those potentially offending bursts. It's just good netiquette, and makes less people feel defensive. Then, no one will feel the need to respond with those words "I'm entitled to my opinion too". Of course, it's totally unnecessary for anyone to ever say that. >Art, after all, is a freeform expression open to individual >interpretation, thereby necessitating disagreement. True words. Anyway, just a few thoughts. Teri ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!

Myself, I > prefer a more articulate response--whatever the opinion. Teri, Yes, I agree with you. To be honest, I don't even notice responses like "That song sucks." If that's all someone has to offer, I skip right over the message. But I also think that some on this list are hero worshipers, are not about to criticize Sting no matter what he releases. I think you can be a fan--a HUGE fan, in my case--of Sting and still criticize his work. As you say, though, I think that criticism should offer some roots for further discussion, should be constructive. Good point. Johnny Nitro
