Well, since no one immediately springs to mind to induct the Police into the HOF, here's an idea that I came up with while driving home last night: Outlandos or Sting.com should have a contest for a FAN to give the induction speech. I have a very low opinion of so-called "random drawing" contests, so I think the format should be this: interested fans submit a draft of a written speech and then those be judged. What would YOU say if you had the opportunity and honor to induct the Police??? OK, fantasy world aside, I don't think Sting.com would do it because it focuses on the Police (I agree with Josh that Sting.com acts like the Police never existed) and Outlandos has a predilection for those oh-so random drawings. But hey, it's a unique idea. They will probably get someone like Rob Thomas to do it. A nice guy, but what's his connection to the Police?? I was trying to think of the bands the Police opened for (Wayne Country, Cherry Vanilla, who else??) and none of them that I remember are big enough names. Or bands who opened for the Police (GoGo's, Fixx, UB40, ???). So unless we want Belinda Carlisle or Cy Curnin, we'd better lobby for a contest. And besides, I have my speech half written in my head anyway (it's a long drive home) :) Maggie
