Marshmallow Jones 1 : < …a vast majority of people identify him with the Police >
This is probably true in English speaking countries. But here, in Europe (at least among fhe people around me), Sting is clearly known as “Sting”. We have no big knowledge of history of rock and roll, except for our local figures. If you ask people less than 35 if they know the police… they would say “who?”. If you ask them if they like the man singing with Cheb Mami and now on lute. They would say :
- yes, it’s Sting, I’ve heard something on radio, and isn’t he in a pub for jaguar? I love jaguars. He is a pretty guy for… how old is he? he’s vegetarian and practices yoga. And he did this song Fragile, I really love.
Here, among the young generation, police is not relevant at all, but Sting.
Captain Blood: < That´s maybe interesting:…>
I’m wondering if there is no misunderstanding with the reunion of SC and AS with ASL for some gigs in South America. This is clearly a project that should happen in the coming month, according to ASL himself.
Hannaha : <Crikey! Can you imagine the mass hysteria on this board if it turns out to be true? We'd all lose control of our bladders I suspect!>
One Year ago, I regreted being one of the few persons seriously thinking they will re-band. Now, there are more and more people thinking it can happen. At even some thinking they can do more than just a last tour and then hara-kiri ! I say it, I’m not more psychiatrist than “Marshmallow Jones” but just a listener of the music we get.
By the way, STAWART’s latest stuff is really fantastic. As Sting has less inspiration nowadays… this makes STEWART in situation to offer something very interesting to Sting.
Divemistress of the Dark : < Naw, I'm with you. Whatever Sting does, you know everyone will forever ask him about getting together again with Stewart and Andy.>
Except if he does it !
Concentrate on the essential, because:
Its all a game, Youre not the same, Your famous name, The price of fame, O no -- try to liberate me, I said o no -- stay and irritate me, to elevate me, I said o no -- just a fallen hero, Dont wanna hear about the drugs youre taking, Dont wanna read about the love youre making, Dont wanna hear about the life youre faking, Dont wanna read about the muck theyre raking, You sang your song, For much too long
The songs theyre wrong, The bread has gone, O no -- try to liberate me, I said o no -- stay and irritate me, I said o no -- try to elevate me, I said o no -- just a fallen hero, Dont wanna hear about the drugs youre taking, Dont wanna read about the love youre making, Dont wanna hear about the life youre faking, Dont wanna read about the muck theyre raking, Dont wanna find out what youve been taking, Dont wanna read about the love youre making, Dont wanna hear about the life youre faking, Dont wanna read about the muck theyre raking…
…you know the rest…
