Well, tonight was a funny night, for sure…and will
probably go down in The Police history books as a unique night: In Halloween
spirit, the boys came out in full costume! Andy was dressed as Charlie
Chaplin, Stewart had his face painted a ghoulish white with blood running down
from his lips, wore a weird thing on his headband, and a cape (until it got in
the way of his drumming), and Sting was dressed as a joker. He wore a
joker hat, a black mask that covered his eyes, and had a black and yellow
diamond patterned top and black tights with yellow diamonds on the sides and a
big sparkly thing over his “package” as my wife, Tara, calls
it. And no, I am NOT kidding about ANY of this! Sting finally took
his hat and mask for the encores, but Andy remained as Charlie Chaplin the
whole night! Stewart had a “wardrobe adjustment” not far into
the main set. It was certainly funny to see, though I must admit that I
was glad when Sting finally took the mask and hat off. Being able to see
Sting and his facial expressions certainly is an important part of the show.
Must go to bed now.
Cheers,
Bruce
