Comon, Sting wrote all the songs. Do you think the Police would
have been the greatest band with songs like "Mother"?
Sting was the Police!!! Refusing to accept that fact is pure denial
of reality and fact!

concur with Ms. Michelle on this. we are indeed
lucky to still have sting
around in any shape of form,
still producing music - my only
hope/contention being
that the material is up to snuff.
for me, i
asked the question out of what's been a
life spent defending the police
as a band to people,
demanding them to be recognized as, for my money,
the
single greatest band ever - this my virtually everyone
i have ever
gotten into a discussion about music with.
rightly or wrongly, i feel
that the legacy of the
police is not held in as high a regard to the
world
outside this wegpage - that they are blown off and/or
taken for
granted, that their uniqueness has not been
given its just due. i mean,
the rock and roll hall of
fame induction was nice, but i think there
should be
more.
so, admitted, i get a bit annoyed when i -
again,
correctly or incorrectly - see interviews with sting
steered
away from even the smallest amount of
discussion on the police, when i
see sting perform in
concert and hear only 4 police songs in a 25-song
set
or things of that nature.
i hope to be rewarded for this
righteousness on
day...
rich
p.s.: i'm listening to SACRED
LOVE as i type this out,
here comes "dead man's rope". my reward comes
early...
