Sting: Must we watch every move he makes?

[SambucaSubaru]

Sting's ego dissected, with some juicy old Copeland quotes, in yesterday's Daily Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/8261699/Sting-Must-we-watch-every-move-he-makes.html): "A compulsion to talk about his bedroom antics could stem from Sting's bottled-up childhood, says William Langley."

this part made me smile and whince when i read it.


"The abuse has, if anything, only got worse – to the point where even Sting's detractors are occasionally moved to feel sorry for him. The charge of pretentiousness may be hard to avoid when you say things like: "I think it was Flaubert who said you had to be bourgeois in everyday life so you can be daring in your work. Most rock 'n' rollers wear a clothing of rebellion, but in private they are reactionary and dull. Except me.""

TMI.

TMI. I do not need to know what people almost in their 60's do in the bedroom.

Well, I say more power to him. I hope I'm still getting busy when I'm that age.

and another gordo piece from Harpers Bizarre.... centers around nice photos of trudie looking lovely and gordo bare chested.....

(warning and spoiler alert; hot looking trude with a bare chested gordo and licking each others faces.....)

So, when they do reunite, it's quite something. "We don't get bored," Styler says. "Being apart juices the relationship," Sting explains. "When we see each other, it's romance. I don't think pedestrian sex is very interesting. There's a playfulness we have; I like the theater of sex. I like to look good. I like her to dress up. I like to dress her up." What's the most romantic thing they've ever done for each other? "Romantic? We like tawdry."

OK, that pic with the tongues was just unnecessary.

I found this much more obnoxious than the sex talk: "You know, Trudie could actually buy the United States out of recession if I let her. We're holding that back as a last resort."

yup. unfortunately the word "tosser" springs to mind.

[luna_virgo]

I really want to like Sting more than I do, but then he starts talking.

[policefan]

... Please, could someone explain to me what pedestrian sex is?

[luna_virgo]

:roll: ... Please, could someone explain to me what pedestrian sex is?

The song "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" comes to mind....

[smax]

LOL.

pedestrian presumerably means "normal" or "Vanilla"....... whereas they obviously enjoy dressing up, swinging (remember some interview trude had with howard stern some time ago?) and , of course, gordo's well documented love of visiting whores...... mmmm, lovely.

OUCH!

[Chatchka]

I think we have to laugh at Sting's off the cuff remarks because no matter what he says someone always thinks he is a wank or a tosser. After innumerable times of being criticized, I imagine he must have given up trying to think before speaking (if he ever did care what others thought).

(I can't believe I am defending Sting.)

[smax]

agreed........ it's a fairly easy equation that if you're in the public eye that 50% of people will dislike you and 50% will like you...... you're damned if you do and damned if you don't......

the telegraph piece is a hatchett job, sure. anyone who is quoted as quoting Flaubert (especially someone who was a popstar in the last century) will seem like a tosser....... but it was the harper interview which made me raise my eyebrows.... clearly it is a fluff piece:
"And why not look good when you're a famous rock star and his famous actress-producer-environmentalist-yogini wife? "We like fashion," Sting says, wrapped in a Rick Owens coat, while Styler wears an artfully ripped Balmain T-shirt and Yohji Yamamoto coat."

assuming anyone gives a flying fuck who designed the coat that he's wearing; was there anything palatable / nice in that article? If he wasn't a multi millionaire perhaps the comments about buying the US out of recession wouldn't be so thoughtless, but for a 'pop star' (which is what he was) who has previously lectured the world on compassion and caring for one's fellow man (etc) his comments do lend themselves to being critisised.. then again if he was giving an interview to TIME magazine he would have tempered his views and words accordingly.....everyone (gordo included) is capable of hypocrisy, jokes taken out of context, of being misunderstood etc etc etc... and everyone can expect to be called a tosser from time to time.
