Provenance : Courrier pour Windows 10 Don’t get me wrong : I’m a dedicate fan of The Police since I first heard them in 1979 and saw them live in 1980 .I saw them for the reunion tour. What a memory before entering in the arenas with The Police music in the headspeakers .. I love the shows because it was nostalgia !! But it was nothing compared when I saw them in 1980 and in 1983. Of course I was 13 at the time but it was magical ; There was a musical connection that lacked in 2007 . Of course they played well in 2007 but unfortunately the magic that made the trio at the height of their carreer was gone. But if you asked me if I’m craving for a new album I ‘ll say yes of course. But again my feelings will be shared. Of course I’d like to hear what would The Police will sound like in 21rst century but of course comparison will be made with the 5 legendary albums. I know the question of age is important though surely they are at their height concerning their musical skills, but what about creation, ardour that go with youthness.

Everyone was better when they were hungry and full of angst. Now they're all rich and fat and happy, there's no grist for the mill, as they say. And now Sting must be licking his wounds after his colossal Broadway Fail. That was a shocker all right! But poor Sting,,,,,, didn't he realize that this was the 21st Century when he wrote that play? It was such a cliche of the plays of the 70's and 80's. As if he had been mesmerized by broadway back then, and couldn't wait to try it himself. Well, he virtually wrote a Rice clone, 20-30+ years too late. All that talent, financial backing and opportunity lost in a time-warp. Can we drag them into the 21st century and get some new inspiration for them? After all of Sting's interesting collaborations, I'd think he'd be up with the times, and amenable to collaboration with some contemporary artists.....not 20th century artists, 21st century artists. As a matter of fact, I'm beginning to consider a moratorium on ALL music performed in the 20th century in my house. It's time to move on and make some music that isn't just re-warmed crap from the past. But I was spoiled by being Born in the 50's and surrounded with new sounds and musical excitement almost every day til Disco showed up and then everything kind of petrified in place. Even rap, as a relatively new medium, relies too heavily on snatches of that very washed up diluted, enough enough enough music that used to be new and influential. Wow, where did all of that come from? Guess I'm ready for something new and exciting! Let's go ex-Police-men, delight and excite me! diggie From: Chris Babcock <csbabcock20@gmail.com> To: Police Mailing list <police@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, October 23, 2015 2:42 PM Subject: [Police] The secret ingredient I know some of you disagree with me, but I always thought the work that happened as The Police still stands as better than any of the work the guys have created as individuals. This article isn't about them, but it does a really good job of articulating my theories about what made the band so great: http://www.polygon.com/2015/10/22/9593334/mythbusters-final-season-relations... _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police --- L'absence de virus dans ce courrier électronique a été vérifiée par le logiciel antivirus Avast. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
