Last Exit CDs or tracks
by Lior Vernia 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

Hey everyone! Just wanted to ask if there's any way to get Last Exit CDs or tracks... I couldn't find any tracks of theirs with Kazaa, which surprised me a bit (doesn't anyone have any of their songs?). Were they even signed by a record label? Sorry, I don't know much about Last Exit, but thought they might be worth listening to (after all, it IS Sting). Thanks ahead, Lior.

I've decided tonight to unsubscribe from this list and though I don't expect to be incredibly missed or anything, I kind of wanted to explain why because I hope it might make a little bit of a difference. Sorry, this is quite long. I should admit upfront that I have a blind spot the size of Jupiter when it comes to Sting. I have loved his music since I was eleven (half my life) and I have been slightly in love with the man himself for much of that time. My Jupiter-sized blind spot doesn't prevent me from rolling my eyes a bit when he does yet another corporate sponsorship thing, but it does make me buy every single Sting CD I can get my hands on, gaze adoringly at pictures, go to concerts (except I've only been to two--probably about thirty less than the average person on this list) and so forth. And I will also admit that I am sensitive when it comes to criticism of Sting. It's stupid, but there you are. At the same time, I don't worship his personality. Maybe that has something to do with why I don't really mind the egomania and all the rest? Because it doesn't touch me that closely? But Sting remains the only artist who I like every song by, and that includes U2, who might slip ahead of Sting in my regard if it weren't for Zooropa and Pop. Brand New Day is one of my favourite Sting albums and I don't at all see it as a falling-off for him, but that's another story. I've been on this list for somewhat over a year and by and large I have found it kind of depressing. I was on it for a little while in the fall of 1996, and unsubscribed only because the email address I was on wasn't handling it well. It was about ten thousand times livelier and more pleasant then than now. I know that this is really a Police mailing list. I know that there are quite a few people on here who think the Police blows Sting away and who really don't like Sting solo. I don't want anyone to think that they specifically caused me to leave just because they said something I didn't like about Sting, because I've been considering it already for some months. People are completely entitled to criticise Sting. What I find depressing is what seems like the unrelenting negativity--toward Sting at any rate--and the reluctance to get into anything like an interesting discussion. Maybe other people have better things to do than hang out on a mailing list all the time, but I always thought that the idea of a mailing list was to have interesting discussions about the subject and to share in appreciation of the subject. I don't see much of that happening here and I haven't ever in the past year. It really seems like no one cares--witness the fact that I, a newbie, was the first to post anything after Sting won a Grammy or after he sang at the Oscars--and that depresses me. And I really don't see the point in adding something depressing to my life. Thanks anyway to the people who have contributed something interesting to my appreciation of the Police and Sting, because there are plenty of you here. I may be back some time and I kind of hope things are much happier then. Cheers, Clarissa

All Would Envy lyrics
by Gergely.A.Nagy＠gsk.com 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

Hi there, Here comes the lyrics of Sting's unreleased song 'All Would Envy' from Chris Botti's latest album 'Night Sessions'. I hope that someone from the list will be able to correct it and fill the missing words I did not understand. All Would Envy Written by Sting Old enough to be her dad But the young men were just melt ??? grievances And she was flattered by his charm It wouldn't do her any harm They all had their chances He sent her flowers and limousines She was treated like a queen Anything she ever wanted It was no problem for a man like him And everyone expected soon That she could ask him for the Moon If she would wear his ring Knowing ??? from his friends In the homes ??? to high society But he didn't get there He never felt more like a man And all the time the clock was ticking And all would envy The older man and his beautiful young wife Yes, all would envy In a house upon a hill She was there with time to kill She lived a life she'd only dream And life was never what it seem To all her friends that she ignored She denied that she was born She had no time for dancing (No time for dancing) But the clock upon the wall That was ticking in the hall Always reminded her That life was going on elsewhere But she was happy and she'd swear She wouldn't change a thing And all would envy The older man and his beautiful young wife Yes, all would envy Now it's five o'clock, a yell She must have spent a night again Without a friend of hers (She loves to dance) That she is missing more and more these days But he is still strucking in own ways Perhaps she needs a little more romance But the clock upon the wall Still ticking in the hall She must be gone so soon And where a younger man ??? He takes a pill and goes to sleep Who would envy? The older man and his beautiful young wife Who would envy? Who would envy? Chris Botti: Night Sessions (c) 2001 Sony Music Entertainment Inc. By the way, it's a really beautiful Latin American-flavoured tune sung by Shawn Colvin with featuring musicians like Kipper, Dominic Miller, Vinnie Colaiuta, Christian McBride and Jeff Young.

Doubt about RAH dates
by frotri＠panafonet.gr 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

Hello, a small correction: Last Events informed us last week that new RAH dates are to be announced for 2002. We must be complete and must add that this weekend, we were informed that Outlandos -the Official London based Sting Fanclub- has no knowledge of new dates or gigs in the UK. To conclude: Last Events was contacted again to verify their earlier mail. Thanks to "wee little UK devil" for the information. Groetjes, Cheers, StingUs-team www.StingUs.net Weekly newsletter: Sting-Newsletter-subscribe(a)yahoogroups.com Several versions of "All This Time live CD" can be pre-ordered in our StingUs-shop. _

Re: [Police] Re: [stingus] Supressed Opinions, NOT!!!!!!!!!!Oysterhead HBO Go...

P.S. The answer to the question previous is, of course, "*uck off *sshole". In some of the live clips from "Around the World" the drums say f**K off you c**t. Did he have two different sayings? I wonder if he wanted to add more drums to speak more of his mind.

Re: [Police] Why compare Sting and Stewart?
by Michele Petri 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

very well said Giovanni I couldn't agree more why compare ?? & more importantly why would you WANT to compare them ? their is no point ! totally different bags altogether . sting Is Great at what he does & stewart Is Great At what He does so why not enjoy both for what they are . Isn't that the beauty of music after all ?, each individuals or bands expression ? & as far as Musicianship between the two bands , well that is simply a matter of taste me personally i would kill to play with anyone from the bnd tour especially the new additions 'Mcbride& the new drummer " Just my Two Cents Michele _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

boneheaded babies
by Diggie 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

If you don't like a post, swallow and move on. If you don't like a thread, don't open the posts with those titles. No one said that anyone has an obligation to read or respond to anyone's post. Just because one or 2 vocal people have an opinion, it is not necessarily the opinion of "the list" Being rude only displays folks for the boneheads that they are. I'm thinking that most of us are adults. Some of the things I have read here have precipitated me to respond, in anger, but I didn't need to. Whining about the list, and then leaving or threatening to leave seem just plain silly. I'm all for the healthy exchange of ideas and debate. Sometimes that gets rough. If that offends you, just skip the damn posts. There's no way to keep idiots off the list. There's no way to make people polite in their posts. This is a freedom of speech thing! So here's to the rude, opinionated, cruel and idiotic of the list....I even think that I prefer these posts to the whiney ones about "now I have to leave the list....boo hoo, won't that make you feel bad about what you did to make me leave the list" I've left the list a couple of times, but never felt a need to chastise the list and explain that it is because of certain posts that I "had" to leave the list. I frankly never thought that anyone would care and I frankly don't care much one way or another who comes and leaves, as long as there's new information and interesting stuff to read from time to time. If you don't like a thread, don't pursue it. If you don't like what one person says consistently, find a way to use your email program to filter out these posts. And for those whose arguments get personal, why not pursue these arguments one on one and save the rest of us the bandwidth, the memory and the time from having them downloaded to our computers? I'll stop my idiotic whining now. Geez what a bonehead! Diggie
