Apparently, Sting refused to participate in the final tribute to The Clash. One could speculate that such a tribute would take away from the importance of The Police's induction, and Sting might have wanted to keep the focus on The Police. Or maybe Sting doesn't like The Clash?! I don't know why they didn't just perform it sans Sting. The Edge left the room during The Police's set, which I found insulting (after all, U2 owes a bit to The Police for disbanding...) -----Original Message----- From: Josh Corwin [mailto:jlc403@optonline.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 12:12 PM To: police@mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Police] thats some story ...there was some eariler mention of Andy saying that Sting balked on the finale.
