Ohhhh, I'm afraid "going against everything the guy has been about" has left
the guy in the past couple of years. The guy is about money. I don't like his
music any less for it, nor does it make me a "bad fan" but let's be real, the
old, (I'm in it for the music and because I love it) Sting is gone.
Funny, I just found a cartoon one of my family members sent me (phoenix or
Orlando paper) from last year. Thought I'd share it with you.
It's by Ward Sutton and is entitled Schlock 'n Roll:
Remember back when... (it goes through panels with the selling out of songs)
and then we get to the Sting panel: "and artists like Sting even debut new
singles and have them appear in commercials at the same time." Under that a
drawing of Sting with two speech balloons coming out---the first: "I wasn't
ridiculously filthy rich enough so I had to whore myself out" the second:
"I'm off to have tantric sex in my castle now. Ta-Ta!"
That brings me to my new little endearment when people ask me what's new with
him. "You mean my little media whore?" Of course, I say that with no malice
intended. It's just the way it is. More power to him.
