Holly asks Hi Everyone, I caught the end of a bit on the afternoon talk show, "The Talk", where they discuss newsy tidbits, and one of their topics seemed to be about the Police only writing songs when they were high on booze or other chemical substances and maybe not remembering much? Did something come out about that? Sharon Osbourne was reading from The Daily Mail I believe where Sting was interviewed and said that weed can help you be creative esp if you get writers block... they (the Talk) said they were glad all of his fans were over 40 since that was a horrible message for kids..I can't easily find which article she was referring to..
Here's an earlier link to interview back in June about creative block and Sting; http://www.thefix.com/content/stings-calls-drugs-creative-tool Speaking to Britain’s Event magazine, Sting admitted to occasionally lighting up a joint when writer’s block takes hold. “If I’m feeling stuck on a lyric or an idea isn’t quite gelling, sometimes a puff of weed will free it up. I rarely smoke it socially. It’s a tool, just as a pen is,” he said. “Several artists have used drugs to make great art. I certainly wouldn’t advocate that you have to take drugs to make art, but then you can’t nullify the work of the Beatles. They took LSD and they made fantastic albums.” On Aug 7, 2014, at 2:29 PM, Paula Mickevich wrote:

Thanks, Paula. So something from 2 months ago is all they had to talk about. Wow. Fortunately, it looks like only the nursing home people will have heard about it!! ;) On Aug 7, 2014 2:35 PM, "Paula Mickevich" <kazimira@verizon.net> wrote:

I got text from friend who watches The Talk in between her Pilates teaching gigs and it just said "Turn on channel 4 right now Sting" - I had high hopes that he was going to actually be on : ( It was pretty ironic having Sharon comment... On Aug 7, 2014, at 2:44 PM, Holly Mollo wrote:
