Good to hear from you too.  I completely understand the ranting....yes it is upsetting knowing that The Police have played for what was almost definately their last time.  I agree with Kurt Loder and the countless others who believe they still rock.  They did and they still do.  I will forever cherish the memory of hearing those first rocking notes of "Message".  I will always remember the tears in my eye upon hearing EBYT live for the last time, as played by all 3 musicians of what was and is the greatest band ever.  (Beatles, schmeatles).  ;-)

Sorry for my own little rant, but I just didn't quite know to whom you were referring.  Also, yesterday was sort of a hazy blur as I had been teaching and coaching without so much as a wink of sleep.  I went straight from NYC to my house to shower for work 30 minutes later.  Needless to say, it was Day of the Living Dead.  And all completely worth it. 

Oh, and on a side note:  Ian Copeland has a set of lungs on him that rivals Sting's.  His eee-yo's  have quite the longevity.
