off topic: SEMISONIC

Hi everybody the best concert I ever saw was SEMISONIC in a small club in Cologne. It's hard to get any records here. Is there any fan of the group out there in the U.S. who can get me the latest Dan Wilson solo stuff (live CD, CD single ...)??? I've got enough Police material to trade... Dietmar

STUNG and Ian Copeland!
by stunglive＠cs.com 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

Just a bit of exciting news from the STUNG camp---> What a week it has been for Police fans! And a few fans from the San Francisco Bay Area got an extra special treat this week. Eric Swihart, bass player for Police tribute band STUNG (www.stunglive.com) got to chat with Ian Copeland, former Police booking agent and brother of the groups drummer, Stewart Copeland, at the family's Backstage Cafe restaurant in Los Angeles last weekend. When offered a complimentary STUNG LIVE @ BIMBO'S cd for his private listening pleasure, Ian promotly took the disc out and put it on the house stereo and played it for the whole restaurant, and proceeded to critique it song by song! Turns out he really liked what he heard, and gave him his number telling us to stay in touch! Pretty cool, eh? We will see what develops, but he was so nice, it was a thrill to get an unofficial endorsement from an insider from the Police camp! We can't wait for March 10. Is there gonna be a "Fan" event in NYC, or elsewhere? Somone suggested putting a party together, I think it is a great idea. I will say now that STUNG will make themselves available to perform for any party or event that is arranged for the occasion! Let us know if you or anyone other Police fans are interested in having us play! After all, you ALL are the real fans! Cheers, -Bee STUNG www.stunglive.com

Hello All ! I got the chance to interview Stewart while he was promoting TAMA stuff back in July in Belgium and he told me that the project above would be materialized in mid-2003. For now, they still have to agree on common dates are their own agendas are full of events ! Stewart also told that it would mainly be a 'Live' project and that they would try some "experiences" ! Quite intriguing...

Re: RE: [Police] Real Fan

Folks, I think it is really sad that some of you have taken the stance you have on this. The first posting started with a message saying "No real fans will see the gig", or something to that effect, so I replied with, well I consider myself a real fan, and I am getting to go. I then posted a little session of how we manage to acheive some of the things we do, and rather than inspiring some of you, most of you decided to get pissed about it. I am willing to bet come time of the concert, that about 10-20 of us will get in to this show, and it wont involve loads of money, it wont involve knowing band members, it will just happen. You guys don't seem to understand this, Fred, Andrea, Giovanni, Lydia, Jutta, Me, Debs, Ross, Margie, Maggie, plus a whole host of others that go to these shows, none of us have high paying jobs (sorry guys...), all of us have commitments, jobs, rents to pay. I have spent about 3 hours a day since I got tickets for Deb and I trying to get more tickets for others. When Central park happened, Fred ran around like a lunatic trying to get more for many of you. Together Fred and I ran around like fools trying to get everyone tickets for Tuscany never mind the countless others, this is not exclusive, we all want to help, yet many of you take offense... I believe I have said this before, if you work all the time, and you don't manage to do the special things like going to shows etc, what is the point to working ? I work about 50 hours a week, and I would be seriously pissed off if after all that work, I couldnt do the things that I want to do. For those I seem to have offended, I apologize Jeremy -------Original Message------- From: Ross Viner <discoduck(a)shaw.ca> Sent: 11/13/02 10:32 PM To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Police] Real Fan > What? who said that?

Alternative form of entertainment
by Sweetmomb＠cs.com 17 Nov '02

I hope we're all still talking to each other!;-) Is anyone interested in getting together to watch the show on tv? I really meant it when I said we should have a "list reunion"/convention! We can all get together someplace that has a big screen tv, bring Sting/Police items to sell/trade/share, and finally put faces with the names we've come to know so well. I was hoping a New York-area lister would put something like this together. It would be within the realm of the possible for most of us, I think. I for one have NO disposable income to speak of, and even less free time, but I would try very hard to come to something like a list reunion. I think it would be great fun to watch the show with a group of like-minded poeple, and we are *usually* on the same page. I may be a majority of one here, but if there's anyone out there who thinks this might be fun, write back! And let's keep it on-list so we can see if there's any interest. Have a great week! Holly

Luck of the draw?
by Ross Viner 17 Nov '02

17 Nov '02

Well as frustrating as I find it, the fact remains that Jer, Deb, Paul, Andy, etc would not be in the cool shows, if they hadn't put in the effort and time. I'm not sure how this can be up for debate. While fortune may fall upon them, you can't convince me that if they hadn't flown, waited, or paid for the shows (for which I envy them, make no mistake) that they would have received a call from Miles, saying "Where the hell are you? We have several front row seats, at this show that and the other" or any other decision maker. Our LA trip is perfect example. To speak in a statistical terms, It's about repeating an experiment until the desired outcome occurs. These "lucky" people went to the effort, and sometimes expense to make what happens, happen. Bastards:) I'm jealous as hell and I admit it. Ross

REAL fan????
by jmunz 17 Nov '02

17 Nov '02

Of course it is easier to get front row at a GA concert!!! That is a given! I really am offended by the way some people on this list are saying that "REAL" fans will find a way to get into the HOF show. Some of us can not go. So apparently this makes us not REAL fans. Well then what the hell do i have all of these freakin albums for huh? Here is a question that is the REAL topic of this "debate". What makes a "REAL" Police/Sting fan? Money? The ability to spend huge amounts of cash in travel, tickets and import albums? The time and energy to wait backstage for hours upon hours? I am pretty poor so this is not an option for me. I think it is dedication. I buy all of his albums, I look for him on the net, I scan the TV guide for shows with him in it etc. I go to concerts and try for the best seats. If I lived closer to NY I would be hunting down the place where he stays and waiting outside in the cold---not for days, but for a while. But we must agree that even if we love Sting and the Police....no matter how much...most of us have to worry about our REAL lives first. Which statement applies to you: My REAL life take alot of time away from my love of Sting OR My love of Sting takes alot of time away from my REAL life. I guess that to be a REAL fan (according to some people on this list) is to: A) spend lots of $$$, B) follow Sting around like a hound after a rabbit, C) not have a worthy enough REAL life to worry about where your priorities lay D) be able to drop everything to chase after those "ever important" tickets E) be able to tell everyone else what a "fan" is REMEMBER THAT THE WORD "FAN" COMES FROM THE WORD FANATIC.

It was hard work but as a dedicated fan it paid off. I was also in the front row for that Central Park concert. But let me just say that if you think that getting in the front row for a General Admission concert is "the same" as getting into this Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame performance, I've got a bridge to sell you. Of course I'm speaking in generalized terms here but, getting to this show will be about one of two things: Who you know, or how much money you have. OK, throw in luck too, but this is a situation where it is NOT in the control of the fans if they attend (no matter how long they sleep in a gutter). Please don't compare the HOF to GA shows, which are STILL the fairest way for true fans to see their favorite bands up close without being among the privileged.
