Hey guys!
Kevy & I were away the week before last. On our
first day in England, my dad's cousin gave us a guided tour around Salisbury. I
had to laugh, as I had told him a while before that I had tickets to
see The Police this summer (he's a retired copper in his '60's, so
maybe he was not sure what I was on about). Anyway, we're taking the
"scenic route" from Salisbury to Stonehenge, etc... He says, "have you
heard of the rock star, Sting". Uh, yeah. "Well, this is his house,
but we'd better not stop as the security people get a little upset when people
hang around" (he used to work for the local constabulary, so I did not want
to get him into trouble). It was not what I had expected -- huge hedge
around the front, I'm guessing that they must have more land in back of the
house (or, they paid too much for it).
Very surreal, as I had not expected to just drive on
by. We were pretty jet-lagged too, so this was rather strange. Given
that most of us on the list probably have spent enough on tours, albums, DVD's,
T-shirts, etc... (I think I own almost everything he has ever released to the
public), I figured, hey let's knock on the door & ask to use the
loo. It's OK, I'm a fan club member ;-) I'd never have the
nerve to do so, but it would be comical.
Anyway, do any of you have any sort of Police
fan group on Facebook? I just joined & would like to display my proud
fan membership to my friends. If anyone is interested in starting one, let
me know.
