Sting makes Money Report's Top 10 for 2001
by Morris, Donald T. 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

>From Rolling Stone: According to Rolling Stone's "Money Report", U2 was the highest grossing band in the music business last year, pulling in $61.9 Million US. Dr. Dre, the Beatles, Madonna, and the Dave Matthews Band were among the top 10, with Sting coming in at #10 with $24 Million US dollars. Calculations were based on net receipts, touring, recording and copyright royalties. God knows he needs the money. If we're lucky, he'll be in their top 10 list for 2003 from his new album tour next year. We can only hope. Don in Hot, Hot, Hot, Muggy but Sunny Florida 95° and 55% humidity (Feels like 109°)

I haven't heard his entire album yet, but I found the radio single that Columbia is pushing on the "I don't want these free CDs so help yourself" shelf at work and it was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised with it. I left it at home today, though, so I'll have to get back to you with the title of the song. All I remember is that the last stanza had something to do with going to his 10-year reunion... But a nice reference to Wrapped Around Your Finger though. :) steve >From: foxie <forfoxie(a)yahoo.com> >To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: [Police] Message In A Bottle by John Mayer >Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 05:30:50 -0700 (PDT) > > john mayer is an obvious police fan. he debut album, >ROOM FOR SQUARES (which a damn good) has a song "83", >containing the following lyric" > >...it's a bittersweet feeling hearing "wrapped around >your finger" on the radio"... > > >rich > > >--- Fred Berthelot <fredberthelot(a)earthlink.net> >wrote: > > I've put a very nice cover of Message In A Bottle by > > John Mayer on Turning Leaf. > > > > www.homestead.com/turningleaf > > > > Enjoy, > > > > Fred > > > > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup >http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com > >_______________________________________________ >Police mailing list >Police(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

Santa's Boyfriend
by Maggie White 11 Jun '02

11 Jun '02

Hi guys. I'm writing from an Internet cafe in London. We saw Santa's Boyfriend a few nights ago. Here's the important stuff. First, they had no CDs for sale. Sorry to all! Second, their new name is Fiction Plane. Joe started off the set by saying "We're Santa's Boyfriend, probably for the last time." I asked the keyboard player about Factory X and he said they couldn't use it because it was some other band's name or something. The show was in a small bar/pub. There were about 35-40 people. The band did not have a drummer. I guess he got fired from the band. Abe L. (Sting's drummer) was there. I talked to him for quite a while. He told me about the drummer getting fired. One other guy recognized him too and bought him beers all night. Abe is a great guy. He's playing with Paul McCartney. I asked about Paul getting married (it's in all the papers here) and Abe said that "might have something to do" with why he was still in London. Of course, now everyone knows Paul is getting married today. Paul had just finished playing the Jubilee. Abe said he talked with Prince Charles for 5 minutes at a party at Buckingham Palace. |He was stoked. He is such a good natured guy. He actually knows the town where I work becuase he has a friend there and I think one of my friends knows his friend, too. Small world! Abe sat in on one song for the band. Joe played drums on a few others. He also played keyboards on the opening song. They only played ONE song from Swings and Roundabouts (Everything will never be ok). All the other songs were new. There was one called "Lies" and one called something like "Fuck you and fuck your cigarette." I didn't think he sounded as much like Sting as he does on the CD, but he sure looked like his father at certain times. Even my husband noticed and thought it was eerie. Abe says Fiction Plane has signed with MCA, he thinks, and Joe told me that they hope to have a CD out in 6 months, that's why they weren't selling any of their old ones. They "want to do it right" he said. That's typical when a band signs. rubyhorse did the same thing when they signed with Island. They quit selling their indy CD at shows. Anyway, I talked with Joe a bit afterward. He said there's a new email list for the band. I think it's fictionplane(a)hotmail.com for those who are interested. Oh, a guy named Brian, who is Paul McCartney's bass player was with Abe. Abe was great on the drums (even though it was a tiny little drum set). I took several photos. Joe trashed the drum set at the end of the last song. They played for about an hour. That's all I can think of right now. I'll email when I get back in about a week and a half. We're on to Ireland in two days. We were supposed to see New Order on Sunday, but it was raining sooooo hard. I was soaked and cold and I didn't want to wait through a couple more crappy bands for New Order, so we left. Oh well. Bye. Maggie

A fan's music site
by SOMEDUDE20＠aol.com 09 Jun '02

Hello list, I have been on this list for the last two years and I have loved it. I have been a fan of The Police/Sting since 1983 when I was all of 9 years old. I also have been influenced by their music which brings me to my next order of business. I am in a band called El Presidente and we, ( or should I say I) have built a webpage to expose us to the world. I would love for you to come and visit it. I have a few of our songs on there to be downloaded. We have done some songs that sound like The Police and we have some that sound like Sting. On the "studio" recordings, I play the guitar, bass, and the drums although I am not the best drummer. Since I love The Police and Sting, the rhythm section sounds a bit lit him. The songs were done before I found a rhythm that I liked. Please come and visit, and I would like to hear from the people who really love the same artists that I do, also to see if Sting could sue me for sounding like him. Thank you all for your great input into the police mailing list. Here is a link to my page http://www.geocities.com/somedude72175/ Sean
