a few nites ago, I watched the police's "amnesty" set at the meadowlands, june 1986. while i have watched it multiple times, with this viewing i finally was struck with just how much energy and attitude sting played with tha nite. (remember, he had been out on the road with TDOTBT band for several months by this point. watch 'bring on the night' - he does NOT play with the fire he played on that june '86 nite). and while i picked this up for the 1st time, one thing resonates with every viewing...depression... best, rich --- Stingfan222@aol.com wrote:
Me too. I prefer angry Sting's music, and yoga Sting's "persona". I couldn't stand his public persona in the early years----breaking up the best band on earth, but still stuck w/him despite the antics. I do love to see him smile and actually look happy now.
I think I recall one of his quotes that said he finally realized he doesn't have to be unhappy to write good music--- but I'd debate that one. Yes, I like his music now, but given the option, give me that opinionated pain in the arse back!
Yeah, yeah, he's growing, we're growing. I can open my mind to lute music, but I like what I like! ; ) Michelle in tx

It's really weird when you compare Sting today and Sting back then. It's 2 different people ... Angry Sting and Mellow yoga Sting. I personally prefer angry Sting, songs were better and sung with more attitude.
