Subject: (police) Annual mailing list survey!
Date: 02 Jan 1999 10:22:45 PST

Another year has just gone by.  What does that mean?  It's time
for the 6th annual Police(/Sting/Andy/Stewart) mailing list survey!
Sorry that it's being posted so late this year.  As those of you
who have been on the list for some time know, Orit (founder of the
survey) used to organize this, but it seems that Orit is no longer
a member of the list.  Special thanks to Nina Cornwall who will
summarize the results again this year.

*** PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS TO THE MAILING LIST! ***

_____________________________________

(Sorry if the text formatting is a bit strange)

Please take a few minutes to answer the following questionnaire
about the band and your relationship with them.  Most of the questions
require short answers, but you are free (indeed, you are encouraged) to
add any comments.

Please e-mail your replies to Marisa Meisters at [e-mail]
or submit your answers online at:
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/2106/survey98.html

The questionnaire is, of course, anonymous. All headers and footers
will be stripped before analysis.  (Any replies using the online form
are automatically anonymous).

Zenyatta Regatta site, and on any other web site wishing to post the
results.

I saw a trailer at the movies this weekend for the forthcoming movie
"Message in a Bottle."  I did not see any mention of The Police on the
soundtrack list that was posted, but I had to read fast!  I don't think
there is any connection, and I don't think it's on the soundtrack.  Which
is too bad.  Anyway, it has Kevin Costner and Paul Newman and some chick in
it, and it is some soupy love story.  So if you like Kevin in soupy love
stories, I guess it's a must see. Bleah.

sorry to have to say/ask this again, but if someone tried to contact me on

Please do contact me again, ok?

Cheers and sorry to have to post this to the list.

I also didn't receive any mail from the list, so that was probably also

Date: 05 Jan 1999 00:43:39 -0600

Hi all,

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!  The SOTW is back with
Stewart's "Does Everyone Stare" from REGGATTA DE BLANC.

A few tounge-in-cheek questions to consider or disregard at will.
*Please send your posts to the list, rather than just to me.*

=================================================
*Just how close to perfection are the music and lyrics?
*Does the arrangement enhance or detract from the song's level of
perfection?
*How awesome was the song live?  Or was the recorded version so
incredible that it could never be topped?
*Does the video succeed in its visual portrayal, or does it ruin your
image of the song?
*If the song was remade, remixed, or covered does the new version
completely suck, or does it have some redeeming qualities?
*Does the song have any special memories for you?
=================================================

"Does Everyone Stare"

I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date
I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late
I knew you never asked for this
I know
My shots will always misfire
My shots will always miss

Does everyone stare this way at you?
I only look this way at you

I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date
I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late
I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone
I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

I never noticed the size of my feet
Until I kicked you in the shins
Will you ever forgive me
For the shape I'm in
For the shape I'm in

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start
I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart
Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this
I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss
[Always miss]

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

Hi all,

first off all the best wishes for 1999 (yes, it's very late,sorry about
that :) )

Recently I read in a book that in 1976 Last Exit played at the festival
of San Sebastian in front of 3000 people and one of their songs was
aired by the Spanish TV.
Does anyone have more info about this fact? (if it is indeed true,of
course)

thanks!

 Jeroen

Subject: (police) Stewart on Howard Jones album
Date: 05 Jan 1999 06:09:17 -0800 (PST)

Hi folks,
more info about Stewart's contribution (drums on the track "Everything")
to the new album of Howard Jones (s. ARK 21 website)
just taken from the Howard Jones website:
"While the album was being prepared for release, Jones was invited to
a special small-group songwriters workshop held by Miles Copeland at a
castle in France. Described as a "songwriters boot camp" where a new
song had to written each day before lunch and recorded before dinner,
the intensive pressure put on the creative process focused Jones on
the uplifting spirit of personal encouragement that pervades many of
his biggest hits.
The sessions in France resulted in three new songs infused with this
spirit: the reggae fueled "Everything" with a visiting Stewart
Copeland on drums, the albums first single - "Tomorrow is Now", and
"Let the People Have Their Say" which was inspired by the outpouring
of emotion following the death of Princess Diana."

So this workshop was held in September 1997 I guess.

Also, a 30 sec.-snippet of the song "Everything" (AIFF-format)
can be found in the sample section.

Cheers,
Rⁿdiger

This is one of my favorite Police songs and Stewart really shines on this
one. I love how Stewart sings in the beginning, that opera voice comes in
and then Sting takes over. It's perfect. As cheezy as the lyrics are, I
find them very catchy and I think everyone can relate to them. Stewart
then hits some great drum fills at the end.  Definelty one of the
highlights of Zenyatta Mondatta and the Police catalog.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Take Care, Malav

I remember hearing a radio interview many years ago where they claimed that
the opera singer on "Does everyone stare" was a coincidental snippet of
radio interference that occurred during the recording of the song in the
studio.

I thought this claim was a little too coincidental to be believable. Anyone
know?


Dave

P.S. Love the song anyway.

The SOTW is back with
>Stewart's "Does Everyone Stare" from REGGATTA DE BLANC.
>
>*Just how close to perfection are the music and lyrics?

    This is without a doubt my favorite Stewart Copeland-written song,
and I don't think that anyone can argue that this is not one of his best.
The lyrics are excellent-I love the line "I want to write you a sonnet,but I
don't know where to start." Although humour is the main quality of the
lyrics,I think they are very beautiful in their down-to-earth feeling as
well,especially when you compare them to the fantasy-like love lyrics
that most artists write. And they are still VERY humourous.
    The music is incredible as well,great piano. Some great vocals by
Sting;he does a great job of singing beautifully even on songs that he
didn't write. It's really too bad that Stewart can't realize how much
Sting's efforts enhance his songs.

>*Does the arrangement enhance or detract from the song's level of
>perfection?

    Definitely enhance;the intro makes this song break with regular form.
I liked the short,two line chrouses;any other artist would have felt the
need
to repeat those two lines to make the chorus longer. Not ol' modest
Stewart though.

>*How awesome was the song live?  Or was the recorded version so
>incredible that it could never be topped?

    Man,I wish I had a live version of this song...

>*Does the video succeed in its visual portrayal, or does it ruin your

>*If the song was remade, remixed, or covered does the new version
>completely suck, or does it have some redeeming qualities?

    There is no video;I have never heard the cover.

>*Does the song have any special memories for you?

    I always felt that "I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide
you're not at home" applied to me very well;although the situation
had no romantic involvement. And no for my reaction to another
fan's reaction...

    It would be,IMO,THE highlight of Zenyatta Mondatta if it appeared
on it,but "Does Everyone Stare" is from Regatta De Blanc. What do
you mean by cheezy? I thought the lyrics were virtually perfect. Don't
you contradict yourself by then saying that everyone can relate to
them? Isn't the definition of "cheezy" that no one can possibly relate
to them?
    Anyway,I'm glad to see a Stewart-written song on SOTW. While
most of the Police's exceptional songs were written by Sting,if
Stewart's songs had been omitted the albums would have been
missing something. Stewart added a very lighthearted touch to the
albums,and I think Sting and Andy are missing out since the Police
broke up.

sincerely,
    obsessed Police fan

Tough competition, but unfortunately for Sting I'm betting the Grammy goes
to either Clapton or Mullins. I don't recall hearing much airplay for
Sting's song, while Clapton's and Mullins' songs seem to be all over the
place (particularly on VH1).

And speaking of Sting movie tunes...anyone seen anything music video-wise
for "the Mighty?" Someone posted earlier on this list that Sting and Sharon
Stone were in a music video for the song, and I was wondering if it had
made it's way to MTV/VH1 yet.

Happy new year!

You're right there. Our money's on Eric.

Haven't seen a thing, not even the shortest of clips on UK television. You
have to wonder why go to the expense of filming the video? Our bet is that
the song will turn up on the new album (in the same way that It's Probably
Me found its way from soundtrack to solo album), and the video will already
be in the bag for it. Future potential single?

>Happy new year!
We second that!

A good friend of mine and fellow Police/Sting fan closeby in Markham, Ontario,
Canada has seen the video. I didn't ask where he saw the video; I just assumed
the video was broadcast on MuchMusic or MuchMoreMusic. His assessment of the
video was short and sweet: "It sucks." His opinion varies occasionally from mine
(and he has stronger Police leanings than a Sting solo preferance).

I have no idea if the video didn't get much airplay/tv (I haven't seen the video
yet either--but I rarely watch MuchMusic or MuchMoreMusic) play because the song
itself wasn't sucessful (although, to my knowledge, "The Mighty" wasn't released
as a single) . . .

It's not like the video for "Moonlight" was getting heavy rotation at MuchMusic
here in Canada either, for that matter.

    I was referring to songs written by Stewart,and unless I'm mistaken
Stewart did not write "Every Breath You Take". I didn't mean that he thinks
that his songs are just as good when he sings them as when Sting does,I
meant that he seems to think that his songs are just as good when Sting
doesn't sing them as when he does(in other words,he thinks his instrumentals
are as good as his songs sung by Sting). I was not making any comment on
Stewart's voice,he is a great singer,although not very creative with his
vocals. He's certainly not as creative with his voice as Sting or even Andy.
Better than Henri though...

>On the other hand, he's wrong-- I DO want to hear

    I think that Sting complements Stewart's songs better. If the Police do
get back together,they should probably reperform a couple of Stewart's songs
such as "Don't Care" and "Ritch in a Ditch". Sting's voice would do better
with them(not to mention
his bass and Andy's guitar and piano).

sincerely,
    obsessed Police fan

Doesn't Stewart sing main vocals on On Any Other Day? It's also Sting
throughout, but Stewart definitely does the dominant line. (Luckily,
because it works well; on that specific tune, that is. Technically Stewart
and Andy are very poor singers, I feel, and when doing back-up on earlier
live stuff they are on occassions simply off key, which sometimes ruins it
for me. Roxanne's difficult harmony chorus for instance can become pretty
messy).

Concerning Does Everyone Stare: this is most definitely my favorite Stewart
track - together possible with Darkness. 'I want to write you a sonnet, but
I don't know where to start / I'm so used to laughing at the things in my
heart' - that's great lyrics, not cheezy but very insightful, I would say:
the dilemma of the 'macho-man' exposed in two simple sentences. The
piano-bit is pretty fancy, and tricky to play, I've learned. Nice twist how
the baseline varies: first moving about, than, near the end, just the two
notes with a lot of drive. So the song received the care in developing that
some of Stewart's Police songs sadly lack.

    Woah. Talk about your revelations. I've been listening to these songs
every month for years thinking that it was Sting singing? Well,we might as
well get this all over with. I heard someone imply that Andy does vocals on
"Mother". Is that right? Does Andy do vocals on any Police songs aside from
"Someone to Talk To"?(I don't count songs such as "Dead End Job" and "Sally"
because he is narrating,not singing) If only the Police(or whoever's in
charge of such things)had made more informative covers for their albums...

    I think that being off-key can sometimes be a good thing. I live
Stewart's(please correct me if it is Andy and not Stewart)backing vocals on
the version of "Can't Stand Loosing You" from Live! You have Sting singing
strong and full of emotion,and then there's Stewart cutting in with a
deep,hard,masculine voice. I just love the contrast between the two.

I just have one thing to say about this song.  (I know it is a little late
but I've been on vacation.)  This song really came to life for me when I
was walking by the Tyne river in Newcastle.  I practically heard Sting
singing it when I was there.

Both Andy and Stewart don't have such terrible voices,I was sent this disk,and
the guy on the cover was young and cute and all...,the only problem is that as
a singer he sounds just like Elmer Fudd,which in some ways might be endearing
but ultimately difficult to get around especially as a troubadour.No one I
know can stand to hear me play it,but I still do,I just imagine Elmer singing
to Bugs,then it sounds pretty good.

Hmmm...y'know the hard part abou getting the Digests is that most of the
really important stuff that has to be said about the wonderful "Does
Everyone Stare" has been said already by the time I get to posting. The
good thing is that there are some good points brought up.

Yeah, Stewart had this weird, off-kilter way with his lyrics, almost
comical.
On "Does Everyone Stare", there is this real nice balance of sincerity
and longing mixed in with the sublimely ridiculous way of looking at
normal events that Stewart does so well.

I think that's it too. Stew might also do backing vocals on "Darkness"
and a number of tracks on the first album, but those are the ones that
you can really hear him. Andy really gets to sing on "Mother" and
"Someone to Talk To", but the only time we REALLY hear Stewart all by
himself on a Police song is the opening to 'Does Everyoe Stare"

I love hearing Sting sing Stewart's lines, and I Love it to death when
Sting plays Stewart's bass lines. Sting is just so damn good that he
really makes Stewart's work shine. I miss him.

Well, sometimes Andy's singing can drive me nuts. He piped in on
"Roxanne" the last time I saw them in Giant Stadium in 87 and it was
AWFUL.
I know the part on LIVE! in CSLY; I thought that was Stew. Also on that
concert right there is possibly the VERY BEST WORK of the three singing
together. It's on "Truth Hits Everybody". Everyone sounds great on that.
It blows my mind.
And Stewart can really add some neat stuff into the songs vocally during
live performances. The extra bit he throws into "Peanuts" (echoing Sting
in verse) on LIVE! is really cool. The extra bit he throws into "Fall
Out" (extra vocals inbetween each "fall out") at the Hatfield show is
cool as hell. His bizarre sense of rhythm and music definately pushed
the Police to places that they never would have ventured into otherwise.
But I guess you could say something like that about all of them.

Anyway, I love that song. Always have.

This message was sent to me with the question to offer it to all of you
musicians, etc...

**********
Wanted: new groups without a (majorlabel)contract!

Hi,

I'm Bernard Van Isacker, the editor of FrontMagazine
(http://www.frontmagazine.com).
I'm currently
working on an entire page where people can come to listen to groups which
don't have a
(major) record deal yet.

The main idea is to form a platform where everybody can listen to all kind
of MP3's,
Wav's,
Quicktime, you name it of new groups without having all the promotional
hush around it.
(each group can choose one or two tracks that represents him/her the best)

People will also be able to buy the cd of the group via the page. The
selling price of the
cds on the site will be an extra 25% ( 15 $ becomes 20$ then) on each sold
CD to cover
manual distribution. We're now working closely together with
Frontstage, an on line store that has become the biggest in Europe. But
there're no limits
when it
comes to music.

We'd appreciate if you could help us in our search for these "newbee"
groups.

We offer: MP3 facility plus a guaranteed amount of visitors that are always
scanning the
net in
search for music, the oportunity to give some more explanation about the
group: bio,
disco, ... and
last but not least, worldwide distribution  of your records, tapes, Lp's.

If you feel doing the right thing, don't hesitate to contact us at
[e-mail]

We look forward hearing from you. All entries can be sent either via MP3 to
above mail
or via
snailmail to:

FrontMagazine
Bernard Van Isacker
Blijde inkomststraat 60
3000 Leuven
Belgium

Don't hesitate to ask for further information.

    If that's the Police you saw,that's '86 not '87. I'm not being picky,I
just want to make sure you have your Police chronology right.

    It sent shivers down my spine with that "woah" the first time I heard
it. That version is better than the original.

Obviously Sting can do Stewart's songs very well. But there's definitely
something to be said for Stewart's voice being well suited to the kind of
humorous lyrics he likes to write (for instance, songs like "Does Everyone
Stare"  and "On Any Other Day" or the Klark Kent songs "Don't Care" and
"Too Kool To Kalypso").

As for as Stewart "not realizing how much Sting's efforts enhance his
songs", I don't think this is true. First of all, Sting sang several
Stewart songs (e.g. most of "Does Everyone Stare", "Miss Gradenko", off
the top of my head). I heard Stewart say recently (during his stint on
Loveline) that "no one wants to hear me sing", so I don't think he is
under the delusion that he should have been the one singing "Every Breath
You Take", for instance. On the other hand, he's wrong-- I DO want to hear
him sing and I think his voice is a great complement to the wry lyrics he
often writes.

Yay Stewart!

Thanks for the link, I got the video to work, once you have the latest
real player, you should be OK.

Overall, excellent song, excellent arrangement.  I hope he puts this
on the next album.  This is the stuff that makes me a life long Sting
fan.  Your average popster out there does not arrange material like
this.  The build up of the song from the beginning percussion that
songs sweet and then the funky drums that rides the song, at first you
say I don't think this will work, then after a few bars you realize it
fits perfectly.  Then the irish sounding pipes chime in and again a
different sound, then in the middle, the bridge to a different style
that caught me by surprise again.  Overall, excellent song, I guess
this is the reason I dig Sting, I am challenged by his music as a
listener, other artistes are scared to try new styles new "soup
recipes", Sting isn't and for this reason his music captivates me as a
listener.  The funny thing is the audio wasn't even good at the site,
I wonder how this will sound in true stereo.

Anyway, Sting's music is exciting to me for the reasons I stated but
these new hybrids will never go down well on the pop charts, the
general public is sometimes too conservative when it comes to new
music styles, which is sad in a way because it means Sting, although a
creator of great music will probably not have the mega hits he had in
the past as long as he continues to experiment.  The other side is if
he sells out and stops experimenting, he might lose me as a fan (yeah
right!).

For those that remember last spring when I mentioned the copyright

"Every Breath" without permission.  Remember I printed extensive
articles from leading newspapers in the Caribbean saying Sting's
management was after Xtatik in a big way for their mistake.  Well, it
seems all the major newspapers are made up of a bunch of yellow
journalists of the 'Enquirer' level.  The media made up the whole
story of Sting's management being after Xtatik.  They knew of the
mistake and made up the whole story, shame on them.  I spoke to
Xtatik's management, Winston Montano, and he told me that NO one from
Sting's camp EVER contacted them.  Well, all I can say is sorry for
posting that misinformation to the list.  Shame on the media, can't

The best I ever heard Stewart was on the live versions of So Lonely,
especially in the early days.  They both sound OK backing Sting on
vocals, Dominic sounds great (Shape of my heart).  On "Police Around
the World", they obviously over dubbed Sting's voice (during the video
mix) on the backups for some of the songs, like 'Dedododo', and 'Don't
Stand'.  There are many people that can probably sound OK on a couple
songs but that does not make him/her a singer.  Most rappers can't
sing but their voice goes down well with the style of music.  To
suggest that Stewart or Andy has a voice anywhere close to Sting is
crazy.

Peace out

Date: 08 Jan 1999 08:36:06 -0800 (PST)

I think that Sting complements Stewart's songs better. If thePolice do
get back together,they should probably reperform a couple of
Stewart'ssongs
such as "Don't Care" and "Ritch in a Ditch". Sting's voice would
dobetter
with them(not to mentionhis bass and Andy's guitar and piano).sincerely,
    obsessed Police fan

I am sorry but the Klark Kent and Stewart songs should be left alone
as is!!! They are beautiful the way they are and as far as Stewarts
voice is concerned, it's unique in it's on way. I personnaly find his
recognizable and makes me happy when i hear him sing those innocent
songs that reflect everyday life as a human being.

That is how i see Stewart's world.

I got it to work for me last night, which I have the latest real player....
the only problem was that I got about 1/2 thru and it stopped due to 'net
congestion'. I got a little p.o'd after a few seconds, (how could that
happen to me and my man??) then just exited out. Loved the midevil theme
and the song... (first tim hearing it). But it was great to see my one and
only (in my dreams, of course) on the net that way. Is there any other
place that you can see him in videos on the net??

Thanks...

Hy,

I'm visiting your Sting page and I was wondering wether you have the
mail-adres of Erwin Kempers. I'm also Dutch and I'm looking for a few
good adresses where I can find bootlegs from Sting but also other
musicians. I'm hoping that Erwin can help me find a nice adress for
these bootlegs.
I first want to look in Holland, therefor I ask you to mail me his
adress, so I soon can enjoy some good recordings.


I would hereby like to thank you for sending me Erwin Kempers mailing
adress.

Subject: OT: Cable modems, was Re: (police) "The Mighty" video
Date: 08 Jan 1999 12:45:44 -0800 (PST)

An off topic suggestion to people who have access to cable modem
service.  In the US, @home and roadrunner offer the service at $39 a
month and it's great service.  You avoid all the hassles of long
downloads, busy signals, disconnections etc., a 2 meg file that use to
take 1 hr to download now takes a minute.  The speed is almost as fast
as a T-1 line and 10 times faster than an ISDN which the telephone
company wants $200/ month for. I get a lot more done a lot faster, it
simply is great.  The cost is a bit high, but considering the fact
that for an AOL customer at $22/ month for service and a possible 2nd
phone line in the house for at $14 a month, that's $36, the extra $3
is more than worth it.  Your phone line is always free as the signal
goes through your cable line.  Just a suggestion.

     Hmmm... I don't see why you think that they would be any less innocent
if the Police did them instead of Stewart. And how does rerecording the
songs affect the originals? I personally liked Stewart's songs when they
were performed by the Police than by himself. Besides,most of Stewart's solo
songs did not reflect everyday life as a human. Those that don't include
"Strange Things Happen","Excesses","Don't Care" and "My Old School",just to
name a few.
    I don't know,I can't really imagine the Police ruining a Stewart
Copeland song. I think that the reverse would be more likely. In my opinion
it is a shame that Sting would not use any of the songs which Stewart later
recorded himself,and I think that it is a mistake that should be corrected.
Just a suggestion.

sincerely,
    obsessed Police fan

Yes, it is new material.  Sting sings a song entitled Another Pyramid
and from what I have read, it has a reggae sound.  Some of the other
performers include Elton John, Lee Ann Rimes (yikes! - just my
opinion) , James Taylor, the Spice Girls (yikes!), and Janet Jackson
(yikes again!).  So far I haven't seen an official track list anywhere.

Subject: (police) Another Poll...yawn
Date: 09 Jan 1999 07:05:27 +0000

Thought this year's Virgin Top 500 poll was worth mentioning in this year
that will be full of polls. London's Capitol Radio did their top 100 last
week and this must have reflected their playlist. It was dreadful - four
Robbie Williams songs in the top 40(!) "best of all time", Boyzone, Cher,
etc... For anyonone wishing they lived in London, you may wish to think
again...

However, the Virgin/Our Price poll is rather better than that. First Virgin
is a national UK radio station, not trying to be desperately hip and young
like Radio 1, and has a half way decent playlist. Their playlist does seem
to consist of the most of the records in their top 500 and new stuff, and
the best we can describe it is as being to radio stations what Q Magazine
is to magazines.

You can check out their top 500 at www.virginradio.com

"but the most popular bands will come as no surprise with The Beatles
having the most entries (16 plus a couple from Paul and John on their own),
but the Fab Four were closely followed by Mick and Keef with The Rolling
Stones bringing 15 tracks to the party, Police and Sting with 15, David
Bowie with 15 as well and Queen (11) and Oasis (10)."

Sting features in a few things in the Feb issue of this collector's magazine.

Firstly, "Dream Of The Blue Turtles" is one of the spotlighted albums, and
they have reproduced Rolling Stone's review of the album. There is a
reasonably lengthy article about the re-released back catalogue, and
finally a chance to win the back catalogue on the remastered CD's.

Monday 11 Jan at 11pm on VH1 'Storytellers:The Lost Songs'. Sting is listed
as one of the artists on this show. We can only guess that they will show
one of the songs that didn't make it to the original show. Videos at the

Subject: (police) Re: police-digest V2 #221
Date: 11 Jan 1999 15:08:58 -0600

        Well actually, lately I've been thinking about how thematically
connected "All This Time" really is.  The whole idea of a river being this
central force that carries off the dead sets the idea of life and death in
the context of nature rather than in a Christian heaven which is doubted
throughout the song.  Priests are "fussing and flapping" and Sting's father
would laugh if he could hear their parables.
        You also have the juxtaposition of old versus young between Sting &
his father as well as the two priests which reveals this endless cycle of
living and dying.  The "murder of crows" is a nice pun on the
ridiculousness of Church sanctity and death rituals and an obvious allusion
to death.  The theme of the river celebrating nature's course is also
reprised in the line, "what good is a used up world and how can it be worth
having."  The ultimate doubt of God is expressed in the lines "If the
Father of Jesus exists, then how come he never lived here?".
        The image at the end of the Romans also recalls the myth of the
River Styx that carried off the dead.  Again, Sting explores the whole idea
of man's relgious views on death vs. a more natural conception.  "Men go
crazy in congregations but only get better one by one" is another pun on
how religion tends to warp the healing process with false ideals (ie in
*Church* congregations) while signifying that sometimes personal healing
can be the best catharsis.  Though at times I think Sting tries to hard to
be clever and comes off with a pop version of intellectualism, this song I
think is subtle enough and interconnected to make it work on a number of

Subject: (police) this cowboy song...
Date: 11 Jan 1999 16:20:38 -0600


        Actually, that's funny because for some reason yesterday I listened
to that song a couple times while driving around.  In looking for the exact
lyrics to the song I stumbled across this quote that pretty much
encapsulated all I would have said about it and this is straight from the
horse's mouth so to speak:

This Cowboy Song

    "This Cowboy Song follows on from that song I wrote
    last year, Love is Stronger than Justice (The Munificent
    Seven). It's an outlaw song about the existential
    cowboy becoming repentant of his days in the saddle,
    and dealing with the concept of growing older, death or
    religion or - I don't know what he's really concerned
    about, but he's decided he needs to pray and he hasn't got
    the words with which to pray. All he has is this cowboy
    song. There's a bit of me in there. As I get older I feel
    the need to commune with whatever's beyond the grave,
    but I haven't been trained to do that. Or I'm not really
    happy with the equipment that was given to me. We
    made a very funny video in Almeira in Spain where they
    made all the spaghetti westerns. It's totally intact as it
    was. We had great time, dressed up as cowboys with
    gun battles and saloon brawls. It was like being nine
    years old. We were so happy."
    Independent On Sunday, 11/94


        I could add that I live in Austin, Texas and that a couple times
when Sting has played, he's told the crowd how much cowboys and Texas
symbolized America to him and his friends growing up.  In some ways the
"existential cowboy" really does define what is original about being
American in that we had this frontier as part of our history that rugged
independent men and women set out to "conquer."  Songs like these seem very
much like metaphorical role playing for Sting...



I like your analysis... could you do "this cowboy song" to?

The correct term for a flock of crows is a murder of crows (you know,
like a ground of
wolverines, or a stripe of tigers).  There's some pretty cool terms out
there, and leave it to the English teacher to use the coolest of all!
Appropriate for crows, too, since they only eat carnage.

The "murder of crows" is a nice pun on the
ridiculousness of Church sanctity and death rituals and an obvious
allusion
to death.

Also the 'Lullaby...' song. I am discovering B sides thanks to this

Interesting ideas.  Think about this little tidbit.  Think of the line =
when Sting is talking about the priests. "One to learn one to teach, which =
way the cold wind blows."  Then consider the song "Beds Too Big Without =
You."  Sting uses the metaphor of a cold wind blowing right through an =
open door.  I wouldn't consider there to be a connection except that Sting =
recycles lyrics/ideas that then seem to connect songs.  The cold wind in =
"BTBWY" seems to signify the pain of losing a loved one, so could then the =
reference to a cold wind could be a reference to pain in ones life.  Then =
think of this in the context of the song "All This Time".  Of course maybe =
I'm just babbling.

Jason

>>> Chris Jennings <[e-mail]> 01/11 3:08 PM >>>
        Well actually, lately I've been thinking about how thematically
connected "All This Time" really is.  The whole idea of a river being this
central force that carries off the dead sets the idea of life and death in
the context of nature rather than in a Christian heaven which is doubted
throughout the song.  Priests are "fussing and flapping" and Sting's =
father
would laugh if he could hear their parables.
        You also have the juxtaposition of old versus young between Sting =
&
his father as well as the two priests which reveals this endless cycle of
living and dying.  The "murder of crows" is a nice pun on the
ridiculousness of Church sanctity and death rituals and an obvious =
allusion
to death.  The theme of the river celebrating nature's course is also
reprised in the line, "what good is a used up world and how can it be =
worth
having."  The ultimate doubt of God is expressed in the lines "If the
Father of Jesus exists, then how come he never lived here?".
        The image at the end of the Romans also recalls the myth of the
River Styx that carried off the dead.  Again, Sting explores the whole =
idea
of man's relgious views on death vs. a more natural conception.  "Men go
crazy in congregations but only get better one by one" is another pun on
how religion tends to warp the healing process with false ideals (ie in
*Church* congregations) while signifying that sometimes personal healing
can be the best catharsis.  Though at times I think Sting tries to hard to
be clever and comes off with a pop version of intellectualism, this song I
think is subtle enough and interconnected to make it work on a number of
intricate levels.

Date: 13 Jan 1999 00:12:35 -0600

The Song of the Week is "Secret Journey" from GHOST IN THE MACHINE.

A few tounge-in-cheek questions to consider or disregard at will.
*Please send your posts to the list, rather than just to me.*

=================================================
*Just how close to perfection are the music and lyrics?
*Does the arrangement enhance or detract from the song's level of
perfection?
*How awesome was the song live?  Or was the recorded version so
incredible that it could never be topped?
*Does the video succeed in its visual portrayal, or does it ruin your
image of the song?
*If the song was remade, remixed, or covered does the new version
completely suck, or does it have some redeeming qualities?
*Does the song have any special memories for you?
=================================================

Secret Journey

Upon a secret journey
I met a holy man
His blindness was his wisdom
I'm such a lonely man

And as the world was turning
It rolled itself in pain
This does not seem to touch you
He pointed to the rain

You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when you've made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss

And on the days that followed
I listened to his words
I strained to understand him
I chased his thoughts like birds

You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when you've made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss

You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
You will see joy in this sadness
You will find this love you miss

And when you've made your secret journey
You will be a holy man
(repeat to fade)

Hi there all...

I had the misfortune this week to be burgled, which in itself was very
upsetting. However, the thieves also relieved me of 300 CDs, many of
them unusual or collectable, which I've been building up over the past
13 years.

I lost 15 live concert CDs by 'The Police', in fact the most treasured
in my collection, so naturally I'm looking to replace them.

I would be most interested in and grateful for any information regarding
obtaining the following , or equivalent, copied CD-R, or indeed _any_
in-concert Police recording, either on CD, CD-R or DAT.

    'Crimewatch' -     Newcastle City Hall show 1980
    'Wallaby' -    Melbourne 1981
    'Laser Villans'-    Hatfield 1979

>The Song of the Week is "Secret Journey" from GHOST IN THE MACHINE.

    Love that song! This was one of my top 3 favorites back in my childhood
days when Ghost in the Machine was my favorite album.
    It's a very unusual song;it seems to me that our idols must've spent
quite a lot of time on the arrangement of this song,which is possibly the
best I've heard on any song. The intro leads into the song with a gentle yet
powerful touch;the guitar picks up and you're hooked. After swiftly(but not
hastily)moving past the verses and first 2 choruses,it fools you by
repeating the intro before blasting into the final,furfilling chorus. That
last chorus is so good that occasionaly when I listen to this song it sounds
like the first choruses are missing something.
    A beautiful song overall. Too bad they never did a promo video for
it,but then again,
that might have ruined the mysterious mood of the song. It makes a great
climax to Ghost in the Machine before the album winds down with "Darkness".
    BTW,does any one know why the single for this song(and "Darkness" as
well)was released only in the USA? It seems to me that this song could have
had a lot of sucess in the UK.

sincerely,
    obsessed Police fan

That's really afwul. I tend to feel that it isn't the loss of the most
expensive stuff which hurts the most, but the stuff in which the most
loving energy is invested.
(I remember the family-cleaning lady throwing away four complete albums of
cartoons of mine, which took me several years of paying no attention in
school to draw. But then again, maybe they were garbage....This was when I
was 12 or so.)

On a sidenote, I think it will be advisable for you, Dave, to spread word
around in Police-fan circles that a number of Police cd's have been taken
by these heartless thugs, and which ones. It will make it harder for them
to place these specific albums 'in the market.' How's the police (meaning
the cops) handling this?

On the Song Of The Week (being Secret Journey):

I like the song, but do feel that repeating the intro before doing the
final chorus may be a mistake. The intro is in a totally different key
(anyhow it sounds that way: the sheet music lacks that bit of the song, so
I'm not sure) than the rest of the song, and placed in the middle of the
song it sounds a bit forced to me. It's among my favorite songs from the
Ghost album, though. I used to play the first three songs, and the final
three songs, which are all good to excellent, I think.
I agree with Jim Orme on the arrangement: near perfect. Very good double
voice. Also another example of the importance of Andy: the guitar-bit seems
to me to give the song that little extra, that he also provided for Every
Breath You Take (most notably. Other songs were blessed by means of saint
Andy as well, of course.) Jim also wrote: 'That last chorus is so good that
occasionaly when I listen to this song it sounds like the first choruses
are missing something.' The main difference is, I feel, the expression in
drums and bass on the final stretch. It's the contrast in expression that
makes it work well. Also like the dark synths. (Which takes it very
naturally into Darkness, which to me sounds complementary to Secret
Journey. Starting with Omega Man, I see no other sequence of songs that
would work that well together.)

The arrangement of songs like Secret Journey make me wonder a bit about the
way they came about. They sound like they evolved - as arrangements usually
do - from earlier efforts. Does anyone know if there were earlier efforts
recorded (of this songs and others), or even totally different approaches?

Somebody has to explain these lyrics to me...

Auke

Subject: (police) Andy at the Baked Potato
Date: 14 Jan 1999 01:29:13 EST

Andy Summers played his first Baked Potato gig on Saturday at the new location
on Sunset Blvd. The line up was great with Dave Carpenter on bass and Greg
Bissonette on drums. There was about 70 people which is a full house for the
Baked Potato. Andy got to the place a little before 10pm when he was supposed
to start the show at 9pm! He looked in a good mood and his jokes were
flawless, almost between every song. He opened the show with a Monk number
which he has recorded for the new album and then went straight to the known
instrumentals he likes to play at his shows. He did a great rendition of World
Gone Strange, you could almost hear his guitar sing the Middle Eastern humming
vocals of the tune. Notable performances were Mexico 1920, Last Dance of Mr.X,
Big Thing and Lonely Woman with which he talked about his mom. From Golden
Wire he played Eartly Pleasures making the reference to World Gone Strange,
"earth, world, earth, world" he said and while rubbing his nose went on saying
"I guess it's the acid kicking in!" Having seen him play 6 months ago without
any Police instrumental, shivers went dowm the spine when he did the opening
chord progression for Murder By Numbers. Dave Carpenter's bass runnings were
very impressive on that. He closed the show with Monk Hangs Ten with full of
energy and emotion from all three. Considering this is the only show of the
three to feature Greg on drums, I was expecting them to play "Wildwood" from
Greg Bissonette's cd which features Andy on guitar. What a track that is.
Definitely one of my favorite, Andy shines on that one with all his solos and
smooth playing.
I talked to him after the show and he was happy to sign my Mysterious
Barricades cd saying "Haven't seen that one for a while!" He was really
excited to tell me that he is almost finished with his new cd which will only
have Monk covers and will be out in two months. This definitely was a gig
worth having on tape but I prefer soundboard quality and it would be a waste

Secret Journey is such a great song. It goes so well with the dark theme
of Ghost In the Machine.  The guitar in the beginning is great. What I
really love though is in the end, the drums really kick in during the last
chorus. When Sting sings for the last time "When you reach your Secret
Journey..." and Stew's drums just start pounding. I love that part!

Take Care, Malav

The missing song played was If I Ever Lose my Faith in You.  That was
the only song played, as there were other artists on the show.

Sounded pretty good,  he mentioned the meaning of the song as having
faith in whatever you belived, ie it could be God, your wife etc.
Something you can fall back to and trust.  He said he was not that
religious, he regarded music as been his religion and mentioned about
when filling in forms and when asked about Religion he would write down
"Devout Musician".

my favorite song.
I love this song. The arrangement is spectacular. The energy and emotion
throughout is nothing less than startling. Listening to this song put
the Police in a whole new league for me.

Subject: (police) Deja Vu? Little Sting content
Date: 14 Jan 1999 19:26:55 +0000

From the Wall Of Sound site...

How does 20 million pounds disappear? That's what Sir Elton John would like
to know. The Rocket Man has flown to London after filing lawsuits against
the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse Coopers and Andrew Haydon, a
onetime managing director of John Reid Enterprises, the company of John's
former manager, whom he split with last summer.

"I am a musician, not a businessman or accountant," John said in a
statement. "I have always had to rely on other people to protect my
interests, and I am deeply disappointed that people I have relied on in the
past have let me down so badly. I shall now leave the issues of the past in
the hands of my lawyers, and I will be looking to the future and continuing
with my work."

John, who was recently named All Time Favorite Music Performer at the
People's Choice Awards, was warned last year that his financial empire,
valued at approximately 150 million pounds, would suffer a shortfall. In
the summer, he and Reid parted ways, reportedly over money. Both Haydon and
Price Waterhouse Coopers have denied the claims.

In happier news, John and his longtime lyricist Tim Rice have lined up an
all-star group of friends for their latest album, Elton John and Tim Rice's
Aida. The album, which features music from the pair's new musical, features
appearances from LeAnn Rimes, Janet Jackson, the Spice Girls, Sting, Boyz
II Men, Shania Twain, James Taylor, Kelly Prince, Lenny Kravitz, and Tina
Turner. It's currently slated for a March 23 release.

Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida track list

1. "Another Pyramid" (performed by Sting)
2. "Written in the Stars" (performed by Elton John and LeAnn Rimes)
3. "Easy as Life" (performed by Tina Turner)
4. "My Strongest Suit" (performed by Spice Girls)
5. "I Know the Truth" (performed by Elton John and Janet Jackson)
6. "Not Me" (performed by Boyz II Men)
7. "How I Know You" (performed by James Taylor)
8. "A Step Too Far" (performed by Elton John, Heather Headley, and Sherie
Scott)
9. "Amneris' Letter" (performed by Shania Twain)
10. "Like Father Like Son" (performed by Lenny Kravitz)
11. "Elaborate Lives" (performed by Elton John)
12. "The Messenger" (performed by Elton John and Lulu)
13. "Enchantment Passing Through" (performed by Dru Hill)
14. "The Gods Love Nubia" (performed by Kelly Price)

So it looks like this song has not been written by Sting but by Elton and
Tim Rice.

Cheers
Dave & Wendy

The reason these superstars let 'morons' handle their money, is because if
the incredible intricacies that you, me, and even superstars must adhere to.
In some countries, there isn't even a thing such as a tax expert anymore,
because there is just too much to know.  The only experts in that field, are
people who know sections of the Act well.  But to know the whole thing is
virtually impossible (depending on which country you're in).

Just my two cents here, but I hoping people here will realize accountants
are not really the problem.  While I cannot vouch for the individuals
involved in the Elton John case, Sting etc., a big part of the problem is
the incredibly complex rules and laws that nations have, which contribute
greatly to problems such as these.  You, me, and everyone else is bound by
these rules, no matter how complex or difficult these rules may be.  Not
only does it make it brutally difficult to do the 'legal' (or honest - they
can differ from time to time) thing, it makes it easier to mislead, and
behave in a corrupt manner, the more complex rules are made.
I know because I study the stuff.  Now I am realizing the more I know, the
less I know.

Interesting. Here in the UK, the movie "Practical Magic" is being
advertised on UK television to the sound of the Police's Every Little Thing
She Does Is Magic, although the song doesn't appear on the soundtrack.

I'm afraid that is NOT true.  Sting didn't make them.  Some entrepreneur
made them:)  Their considered illegitimate, but seem readily available on
the market.  I hear very good things about them, and plan on getting some
myself when I'm not as financially challenged.

Hey everyone,

I just subscribed to the list, so I thought I'd introduce myself.  My
name's Joshua.  I've been a fan of the Police (both collectively and
individually) since back in the day, but the main reason I joined the list
is to gather some info on the late, great Kenny Kirkland.  I'm a
keyboardist (if any of you go to an Afghan Whigs or Michael Ray show, come
say hi), and I'm putting together an analytical study of Kenny's playing
that will initially be for a magazine article, and hopefully, eventually, a
book.  My initial question is, did Kenny appear with Sting on the VH1
Storytellers show?  If so, is that performance available on CD?  I've seen
a bootleg disc called Storytellers, which I assume is it, but with bootlegs
you can never be sure.

Anyway, I'm looking forwawrd to seeing what goes down here.  Take care,
everyone.

    Great to see we're having new fans come along. Welcome to the list!

 I was wondering,does anyone know a place

    Can't really say,but if you can get the video Every Breath You Take:The
Singles,it has everything Greatest Hits has except for 2 live videos which
can be found on The Synchronicity Concert video anyway. And it's a lot
easier to find those 2 videos then it is to find that one video. If you live
in the USA,the internet may be just about your only hope-it was never
released in that country.

Hi Mollie,
Welcome!  I got my EBYT:The Singles, and several other videos through Borders
Books and Music store(here in the States), my favorite being The
Police:Outlandos to Synchronicity, (I had to order most).  Jim's right, you
can get all the videos as he states above.  Besides, if you don't yet have
these videos, you will, trust me....
Best wishes,

I just bought the TST video, something I've been wanting to do since 1993,
but never felt too compelled to do so, until now that I've been growing
hungrier for new and unheard Sting stuff. I was not let down, it's cool to
see the band playing and having fun, and songs like If I ever lose my
faith, fields of gold, shape of my heart, nothing bout me, and seven days
are different from the album versions, and in some cases better (shape of
my heart -much better- and fields of gold). chau.

*Please send your posts to the list, rather than just to me.*

=================================================
*Just how close to perfection are the music and lyrics?
*Does the arrangement enhance or detract from the song's level of
perfection?
*How awesome was the song live?  Or was the recorded version so
incredible that it could never be topped?
*Does the video succeed in its visual portrayal, or does it ruin your
image of the song?
*If the song was remade, remixed, or covered does the new version
completely suck, or does it have some redeeming qualities?
*Does the song have any special memories for you?
=================================================

          Valparaiso

          Chase the dog star
          Over the sea
          Home where my true love is waiting for me
          Rope the south wind
          Canvas the stars
          Harness the moonlight
          So she can safely go
          Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso

          Red the port light
          Starboard the green
          How will she know of the devils I've seen
          Cross in the sky, star of the sea
          Under the moonlight, there she can safely go
          Round the cape horn to Valparaiso

          And every road I walked would take me down to the sea
          With every broken promise in my sack
          And every love would always send the ship of my heart
          Over the rolling sea

          If I should die
          And water's my grave
          She'll never know if I'm dammed or I'm saved
          See the ghost fly over the sea
          Under the moonlight, there she can safely go
          Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso

I recently tried to order Police Around the World at my local video store.
They said that it has been 'mourged' and that they couldn't order it.
THerefore, it is very difficult to find.

Tina took a call at the Outlandos Fan Club today to tell her that Sting had
donated a hat for the Grand Hatters' Auction, a charity auction for a small
charity in the Northwest of England known as Wirral Rehab Mental Health.

You'll be glad to know that he didn't donate the hat he was seen wearing in
this year's Christmas photo that went out to Outlandos members, but has
donated a "Starlight Express 5000th Performance" hat. You can see a picture
of the hat at

http://www.rehab.u-net.com/hats/hatfst.htm

if you fancy bidding. Hids have to be in by the end of January-ish.

I saw the last bid on the hat was only ú 30,-...

My questions:
Does Sting do this often? Last year I remember there was a guitar in an
auction.
Does anyone of you own something ones owned by Sting?
How did you get it?

Have fun...

Hello,

In the Denver Post last week in the one entertainment column it did
mention that Sting was tenatively (whatever that means?!?) going to be
performing this summer at Fiddler's Green (the local mega-ampitheatre) as
part of a world tour.  I will keep you posted if I see anything more on
this in the Denver Post.  I guess for now we have to keep our fingers
crossed that there is a tour this summer.  If only he would appear on
NPR's E-Town that tapes here in Boulder....

I actually saw Sting at Fiddler's Green on the MF tour.  It was a great
place to see a show (not as much ambiance as Red Rocks, where I saw him on
the TST tour, but it beat the _crap_ out of the 'Pit' basketball arena
here in Albuquerque where I saw him a couple weeks later.  Should be a
law against playing good music in basketball arenas...)
I sincerely hope he _does_ tour this year cuz I'm starting to go into
withdrawals!  I also REALLY wish the Outlandos Band (is that right?) would
do a few more dates in the U.S.  It'd be great to see Stew and Andy AND
Sting all in the same year, even if they aren't on the same stage.

btw, I placed a bid on the Sting hat.  Couldn't resist. (Although I'm
under NO illusion that my #35 bid will win!  HA!)  I noticed that Sir
Anthony Hopkins' hat was already commanding a good price.

I just wanted to correct myself, I wrote in my email accidentally that
Portland and Seattle are on the East coast.  Obviously this isn't what I
meant!  I meant the westcoast.  So to revise my past email, does anyone know
if sting will be touring on the WEST coast?

If history repeats itself (and if it does, we'll have indications in the
next 45 days), Sting will do some spring & summer European dates,
followed by summer & fall North American dates.  Yes, Sting will do the
west coast.  However, I do hear he's avoiding Vancouver so as to not be
upstaged again ;-)

Um, yes there is.  It runs from Key West to the southern tip of Texas.
*grin*  It includes things like Ft Myers, Tampa and Pensacola in Florida,
Mobile in Alabama, Pascagoula in Mississippi, New Orleans in Louisiana, and
Corpus Christi and Galveston in Texas.  And I may have misspelled Galveston.

Pop stars to sing on Elton's opera album
LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Elton John has
reportedly persuaded
the Spice Girls, Sting and Janet Jackson to sing
on an opera album
 his reworking of Verdi's Aida.

``I wanted to get the Spice Girls involved because
I think they've got
a lot of humor about them. And I love seeing them
perform live,'' he
told the Sun tabloid Thursday.

The veteran rocker plans to sing two duets on the
album with Janet
Jackson and LeAnn Rimes.

 ``I was thrilled by how many artists wanted to do
it,'' he said of his
reworking of the opera with lyrics by Tim Rice.

 ``Sting is going to record a song called 'Another
Pyramid' which will
be done in a reggae style,'' he said.

This article was posted on wallofsound.com today and has been making the
rounds of talk lists.

Music Industry Prepares
for Massive Layoffs

The music industry is bracing itself for Black
Thursday, when the Universal Music Group (UMG)
is expected to inform employees and artists who
will stay and who will go in the new world order that
was formed when the Seagrams Co. bought
PolyGram for $10.4 billion last year. The massive
layoffs will likely bump 500 employees from their
jobs and 200 bands and performers from their
recording contracts on UMG's 14 labels, which
includes such giants as Interscope, A&M, Island,
Mercury, MCA, Motown, Geffen, and Def Jam. The
MCA Records Group=97Seagrams' original
acquisition in the music industry=97is expected to
remain unscathed, as is producer Scott Litt's
Outpost label, which includes acts such as Days
of the New and Whiskeytown. But the numbers at
other labels are certainly alarming:

At A&M, only 20 of 65 acts are expected to
remain, and just 30 of 200 employees. According
to Billboard, Sheryl Crow, Bryan Adams, Jonny
Lang, Monster Magnet, Tonic, MXPX, Patty Griffin,
and Chris Cornell will stay on.

At Geffen, 25 of 70 acts will remain along with 30
of 145 employees. Beck, Rob Zombie, Hole,
Counting Crows, and Remy Zero have been named
as those not receiving pink slips.

Interscope, whose staff is expected to remain
largely intact, will still lose about 20 of its 70 acts.

Motown's staff will be trimmed from 75 to 7, while
most of its artists will be folded under the Universal
banner, effectively neutering the legendary label.

Mercury Records will lose about 110 of its 140
acts and 60 of its 150 employees.

Island is expected to lose 25 of its 70 acts and 40
of its 100 employees.

Reliable sellers such as Beck, Hole, Garbage,
Jay-Z, Bryan Adams, Jonny Lang, Kiss, and others
are expected to be safe within the new
conglomeration, while acts such as Peter Wolf,
Primus, Girls Against Boys, Buffalo Tom, Orbit,
and others are sweating.

The consolidation has sent some superstar acts
scurrying, however. Sting, who has been recording
for A&M since 1979, is said to be eyeing other
companies, while the Irish group U2 reportedly
wants to switch from Island to Interscope.

Eventually, UMG is expected to trim its
employment rolls by a whopping 3,000 people. The
pink-slipped employees will be terminated
immediately, while the acts will be released
gradually throughout the year. The move is
expected to cost UMG about $150 million in
severance packages and result in savings of more
than $300 million annually. Universal's combined
companies now account for a 25 percent share of
worldwide music sales.

Just a couple of things:
F1RST ----> I updated my Sting Gallery. Wanna take a look? Here's the URL
(http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Makeup/1629/vipictures.html

SECOND---> This is what I thought today while listening to Don't
stand so close to me: What if Sting wasn't tall, blonde etc  and looked
like, say, Danny
DeVito or something?!? I mean, how much of his success is brought about by
his blue eyes, especially among young girls? Surely not much, 'cos there
must be
something *behind* the eyes to be so successful for so many years, but
that's what I was
wondering.

And for the italian members (and those who can see RAI 1, hi Markus!) I
heard that Sting will PROBABLY be a special guest at the Festival di
Sanremo... COOL UH?

It is quite obvious that if Sting were an ugly toad, Stewart would
have been the leader of the band. Intersting timeline.

If Sting were ugly, would he have had the success he's had? Probably. Just
look at Meat Loaf. Or Noel Gallagher.

It was the opposite for me.  I saw him somewhere (I don't remember
where now) and heard his speakng voice.  I love voices--and his was
so inviting. ;-)  Then, my best friend told me that great song I loved,
that they played constantly on the radio--was by The Police, and sung
by Sting.  That voice!  I yelled.  Those eyes and that voice--it can't
be possible!  Ohhh, thank you God.

Of course, my best friend always thought Stewart was a babe too.

I tried to post this last week, but I don't think it made it.

The Outlandos D'Americas tour is hitting LA on March 19th at the Universal
Ampitheatre.  The line up features Stewart & Andy + a bass player and a
keyboardist (sorry about the names, I left the paper with the ad at work)
and about 5 different singers.  Tickets went on sale last Friday, I've got
mine already.  The ad was in this week's LA Weekly again, so presumably
there are still tickets left.

Sally, I hope you're doing well.  Drop me a line.

First sight - the Old Grey Whistle Test, 1978. The band looked like
plonkers but the band's sound, Sting's voice, and Can't Stand Losing You
were what did they trick. Sting looked the worst of the three that day...
don't know about blue eyes, more like red...

Hi Stefano ,

Even if Sting was brown-eyed even with a dark skin
most of us would love his music and his lyrics.

Forget it man,  we all know that most Italians go for blonds
but the rest of the world........?

Richie Havens, Richard Strauss, Elvis Costello, Irving Berlin, Donny Osmond,
Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Meat Loaf, Motlely Crue, Mario Lanza,

In the Demolition Man, by Christopher Sanford, he quotes Sting as saying "it
would take someone who has known me a long time."  He didn't even allow
Sanford to interview him in depth.  I guess the right person hasn't tried to
undertake the task.

Sure!  I thought this was funny:

John Cleese  was on American TV recently and was asked for the differences
between English and American people. In reply he said that there were three
differences...

1. We speak English and you don't.
2. When we hold a World Championship for a particular sport, we invite
teams from other countries.
3. When you meet the head of state in England, you only have to go down on
one knee.

Don't forget Bowie (the male rock god version of Madonna, as far as image
consciousness and frequency of style change goes). But I agree that Sting's
usually pretty good at staying fashionably sharp and current. Except for
that shaved head thing.

What I want to know, though, is when he's finally going to establish
himself officially on the web? Surely he realizes that it's a great
marketing tool, and he's got the fan base to support a "www.sting.com"
site. I don't think Madonna's got one either now, come to think of it. Does
U2? What's up with that?

Sean Connery was in The Police too!!? I _thought_ that was him on the
steel drums in "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic".

(just kidding)

To keep this email from becoming totally ridiculous, I do have a real
question -- I heard a rumor that Sting at one time had proposed making
Branford Marsalis the 4th member of the Police (presumably based on his
contributions to Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity, I guess). Any
truth to this? Of course we all know that Branford did extensive work for
Sting after Sting went solo, but was there ever talk about making him a
member of the police?

Branford never did anything with The Police. They had a sax player on "Low
Life" but it wasn't Branford.

I have never heard that Branford did anything for the Police, let alone
play sax on on Ghost and Synchronicity. Can someone back me up on this? or
I am just missing something? Thanks.

Sting played sax (brutally, too, I might add; I never made reeds squeek that
badly even in elementary school) with The Police, not Branford.

Indeed, Sting himself did all the sax-bits on Ghost & Sync, and was not
very happy Hugh Padgham convinced him to do so, for Sting felt his skills
on this instrument were not yet developed enough. (or so I've heard). By
the way, the sax on Low Life was by the german sax-player Olaf Kubler, who
worked with the boys on a Eberhard Schoener project.

I think Luna Park in Buenos Aires holds about 10 000 people.
Maybe someone in Argentina can confirm/correct?

I was reading in People magazine's 1999 Celebrity Fact Finder and I found some
info about Sting in it that I'd never heard anywhere before.  It says that he
turned down the "bad guy" role in the James Bond movie A View To A Kill.  The
movie came out in 1985 and the role was taken by Christopher Walken.  On a
related topic I remember seeing Sting on Saturday Night Live playing a James
Bond bad guy.

Yes, he wore a yellow and black striped sweater and held a stuffed cat...
he was called "Coldfinger."  Autumn 1987, as I recall.

Hmmm, this is interesting.  I heard that he had been offered the role
of the baddie in For Your Eyes Only (which was portrayed by Claus
Maria Brandour (sp?) ?  I also heard that he couldn't take it because
of tour commitments.

>I remember seeing Sting on Saturday Night Live playing a

Yes, he was Goldsting and held a stuffed bunny.  It's my favorite
part of any SNL episode.  Sting was so serious pulling that dollar out
of the but of the rabbit. ;-)

I remember that also.  It was during the peak of Operation Desert Storm.
Instead of Sting doing an opening monologue, he came right out and played a
song.  In fact Sting played three songs instead that night, instead of the
customary two for most SNL musical guests.  I think Bruce Springsteen is the
only other musical guest to get to play three songs.

Also about the original James Bond post.  I for some reason recall, David
Bowie getting offered the part in "A View to a Kill" and turning it.  I
think either Sting or DB, would have done a better job than Christopher
Walken.

Well the one where he was "Coldfinger" was definitely 1987 because I was in
college and with a certain boyfriend and had just bought NLTS.  And he
*might* have had a rabbit, because I remember getting a stuffed rabbit
later that same year and naming it Gordon... why else would I have done
that?  Mine was a hand puppet, though. Still have it somewhere... *grin*

    I don't really think the Police really had a leader-Sting was simply the
lead vocalist,
and is naturally pointed out as the head man. In fact,in their earlier days
Stewart was probably considered the leader by the other members.

I sure didn't know or care what he looked like when I first discovered
him on the radio - it was just an extra bonus when I found out...

    For the first few years of my being a fan of the Police,I had no idea
what any of them looked like(the only album I had was Ghost in the Machine).
I just thought of them as these mysterious gods who poured out unbelievable
music from the speakers whenever you pressed play...

>In the Demolition Man, by Christopher Sanford, he quotes Sting as saying
"it
>would take someone who has known me a long time."

    Wouldn't it be intresting in Stewart,Andy or Henri(or a combination of
the three)did a biography on Sting? :)

>Branford never did anything with The Police. They had a sax player on "Low
>Life" but it wasn't Branford.
Indeed, Sting himself did all the sax-bits on Ghost & Sync, and was not
very happy Hugh Padgham convinced him to do so, for Sting felt his skills
on this instrument were not yet developed enough. (or so I've heard).

    "So you've heard" as in by word of mouth,or as in by listening to those
albums?

sincerely,
    obsessed Police fan

By word of mouth, actually (I think I read it in an interview somewhere,
but this was quite a number of years ago), although I have to admit I
myself don't regard Sting's sax playing an all out success.

On another note:

I was listening to Omega Man, which is the tale of the last man on earth
(Omega being the last number of the Greek alphabet), the other day, and
wondered where Andy got the idea from. There is a sci-fi movie starring
Charlton Heston by that title ('The Omega Man' 1971), which in turn is -
loosely - based on a novel by Richard Matheson ('I am a legend' 1954).
These also are tales of a last man on earth, a survivor of a biological
war, who battles against a group of  mutated albino fanatics in an almost
dead city. Does anyone know if there is a direct connection between this
film and Andy's song. (Andy also did 'Friends' which was based on the
Heinlein sci-fi classic 'Stranger in a Strange Land'. Is Andy a sci-fi
buff, or is this coincidence?)

To put these questions in a more broader perspective: does anyone know of
other songs that were based on or inspired by books? Off the cuff I know of
two others: Tea in the Sahara, based on Paul Bowles' 'The Sheltering Sky'
and Moon over Bourbon Street, inspired by 'Interview with a Vampire' by
Anne Rice.

Off the top of my head....  "Dont Stand So Close to Me" --  personal
experience and Vladmir Nabokov's "Lolita."  The entire Synchronicity album
(spcifically Synchro I and II) -- Carl Gustav Jung's "Synchronicity: A

The press release for Ghost In The Machine included the following quote
from Andy: "When I started this song John Lennon was on my mind but it also
became something else for me. I was thinking about moments when you
transcend everyday consciousness when another world becomes apparent to you."

>To put these questions in a more broader perspective: does anyone know of
>other songs that were based on or inspired by books?

Here's three to add to wee Kimberleen's...

Secret Journey: Sting - "It's a quasi-mystical song. You have to do
something, go somewhere, to get outside yourself. I read the book "Meetings
With Remarkable Men" which says you have to make a journey. It doesn't have
to be a real journey, it can be a mental journey."

Friends: Andy - "I wrote it as a take on Stranger In A Strange Land, the
Robert Heinlein science fiction novel. It was about eating your friends, or
'grocking' them as the book put it. 'I likes to eat my friends / I makes no
bones about it.' Very quirky. A touch of Long John Silver on Acid."

Bring On The Night: Sting - "Bring On The Night was originally called
"Carrion Prince". I got the title from a Ted Hughes poem called King Of
Carrion. It was about Pontius Pilate and so was the song originally. Now
it's about Gary Gilmore! I didn't realise it until I read The Executioner's
Song by Norman Mailer, the story of Gary Gilmore. 'Bring on the night / I
couldn't stand another hour of daylight.' Gilmore's death wish. This very
abstract thing I wrote fits this incredible true story. I sing it with him
in mind and it's got to be the theme song if they ever make a movie of his
life." and "I had read 'The Executioner's Song' by Norman Mailer, and I was
struck by the darkness of that character, Gary Gilmore."

Edward P. Murphy, President and CEO of the National Music Publishers'

To clarify a point, Sting did not only play sax on the Ghost in the
Machine album, but the entire horn section, which means he probably
played a trumpet and/or trombone as well.  If you listen to One World
as well as the other 'horn' songs, it certainly isn't only a sax.
Although he is no Branford, he did a decent job on all the songs.
It's hard to compare the job of a horn section to that of a soloist.
He also played sax on O My God.

Although I'd hate to say it, I'd have to agree with the bartender.  The
stones have been around for quite a long time and have had all that time to
generate memorable songs.

I'm not even going to get into the talent thing.  That's way to arbitrary.

Talent and public recognition are not mutually exclusive, y'all!  (I give
you the New Kinds on the Block, the Spice Girls, the Macarena, etc.)  Also,
the Stones have been around a while longer!!!  So if the Stones have more
recognizable songs, then they've had a few more years to do it!  And the
Stones are still together, too (sic), so the Police did all their work in
ten(ish) years and Mick and the boys have been working for 30+ years!
Things to keep in mind on this discussion!

No one, in their right mind, is going to bother attempting to objectify one
band as being better than the other; attempting to objectify music/art is a
fool's errand. One's choice comes down to preferences. Ultimately, this type
of question leads to a useless conversation.

To convince your bartender friend, you will have to attempt to agree on what
qualities make for good music, and then illustrate, as best you can, that
Police have superior qualities than the Stones. For example, I believe Sting
knows (perhaps the bartender might agree that playing lots of intruments and
understanding music theory are desirable qualities) how to play more
instruments and knows more music theory than anyone in The Rolling
Stones--although, I don't know if these qualities are essential for making
good music.

>  And, do you feel that the population in general
> knows/knows of more Police songs or Stones songs.

The general population is aware of more Rolling Stones songs, based on the
fact, the Rolling Stones were vastly popular for baby boomers (and baby
boomers make up one of the largest percentages of the today's population).
The Rolling Stones have also been around longer, and in terms of what radio
stations deem "classic" rock, the Rolling Stones, have, yes, produced, more
classics.

But again, who cares? Popularity never implies quality. And the fact more
people have heard of the Spice Girl's song, "Wannabe" than the Police's
"Peanuts" isn't going to persuade me to believe "Wannabe" is a superior
song.

I prefer The Police any day of the week to the Stones (and I only like a few
Stones songs), but that's just my preference.

Andrea M. asked:

"In all complete honesty, who do you feel is more talented? And, do
 you feel that the population in general knows/knows of more Police
 songs or Stones songs. I feel the Police have generated more classics.
 I *KNOW* I'm partial to them, but just from my experience with people,
 I really think they have."


Interesting discussion topic, Andrea! Unfortunately, from my point of view
(distorted at times) I think you're comparing apples to oranges. For one,
the Stones represent a different generation that the Police. Secondly, the
fact that the Stones have been around since the 60's answers the question
of who's "generated" more classics; for every hit song (if you're defining
"hit" as a song that everyone would know) the Police had, the Stones
probably have two or three. Not that I'm trying to sound like a Stones fan,
because I'm not.

If I were to compare the Stones and the Police, I'd say that the Police was
a polished chrome hot rod that, in it's day, won a lot of races and shook
the stands with it's mighty roaring engine. Today, though, that hot rod is
on display in musical history, it's chrome still polished and it's engine
still primed for another race, should Sting ever decide to put his key in
and start the ignition. But Sting's had his fill of racing, and so the
mighty machine we remember as the Police will have to remain idle and
dormant. At least for now.

Meanwhile, that beat-up old pick-up truck known as the Rolling Stones still
cruises the endless highway, occasionally sputtering and backfiring, but
still going strong. Must be the battery in that truck: just keeps going and
going and going...

I think I have to agree with wee kimberleen...my Grandmother knows
who Mick Jagger is...my mom only knows the Police because I
"tortured" her with them for 7 years!!!  When I sing with bands, we
get more requests for Stones than Cops.  Based on a small,
semi-random sapling, I'd say that the Stones are more recognized by
the general populous.  HOWEVER, I won't even touch the talent issue!

I have to agree with Beesting.  The Stones as great as they once were are
overrated in my book.  You listen to one Stones album and you have heard them
all.  I believe the only reason they are still as popular as they were back
when, is due to the fact they never lost there fan base.  Look at the Grateful
Dead.  They sold out arenas everywhere they went because they never lost that
fan base.

But look at the Police.  Maybe not as big a fan base, but the fans are still
there.  And the last time I checked I still havent heard Puff Daddy remake a
Stones hit of any kind.  Police have two, Roxanne and Every Breath You Take.
Now if that isn't recognition of how great you are then I don't know what is.
How awesome is it to have any of your songs remade by those after you?  If I
were Sting and the boys I would feel mighty proud.

    I second that totally. I normally wouldn't enter a debate about
which band is better, but the Rolling Stones must die - and they will soon.
The Police were more talented in every way. And keep in mind what they were
able to achieve in only 6 or 7 years and five (regular) albums. Everyone
(almost) knows the 15 songs or so on the best-of CD. Everyone can at least
hum along to them. I don't think we can say that for the Stones. Popularity
is not synonymous with quality (especially these days) but the Stones will
never be able to write anything that would compare to songs like Every
Breath..., Every Little Thing..., Message in a Bottle etc. Mike Jagger will
never sing like Sting. Keith Richards will never play like Andy. And what
ever that stiff drummer's name is, he'll never drum like Stewart.
    Can you tell I don't think much of the Stones?
    The Police rules!

I feel the Stones are more known because they were the first, and have far
more albums.  BUT, for simply 5 albums, (10 including Sting's), the Police
win hands down.  I hear far more Police on the radio than the Stones.

The Beatles are HUGE, and considered the biggest because they were first.
But my understanding is lot's of bands have outsold their records, including
the Police and Sting.  Am I wrong?

  Personally I do not think there is such thing as a "perfect group" or
a " No 1 band."  I have had this type of discussion with several friends
in the past and maybe that is why I am writing about this issue.  The
conversations have ultimately ended with no point ever made. A person's
taste in music largely depends on what they perceive as "good music".
Ever person's taste changes with the ebb and flow of time.  I know mine
has.  If you ever see this bartender again, ask him/her WHY the Stones
are so good and ask him/her to compare his point of views with other
groups.  I wouldn't be surprised to hear him/her retract his/her
comments.....

I have to second everything Beesting said on this one. The originality of
Stones material, the musical backwardness of it, is to me simply
astounding. Plus that they're really terrible musicians, from a technical
standpoint. (Calling Mick Jagger 'lead-vocalist' seems to me a sorry excuse
for a joke). When they did that song - about a year ago - which ripped of
the chorus from Constant Craving by k.d. Lang (a song I love, from a
fantastic singer), they had to haul in another guitar player, because Keith
and Ronnie couldn't play the essentially not to difficult
chord-progression: this after practicing guitar some 40 years! I don't
think you can say it's bad as a rule to stick to a certain track of simple
chord blues-rock, but please don't do it by default. And with the Stones I
feel it's just that; they do what they do because they're insufficiently
talented to produce anything different, or slightly suprising.

The Stones, I feel, have always been more of an attitude than anything
else. I myself don't understand people who like the Stones; with a band so
selfrepititious the senses are not stirred in any way. It's amazing to me
you can be in a line of work some 30+ years without ever being able to find
a new approach to your stuff. There exists something as development, but
the concept eludes these dinosaurs, I fear. I mean, the Police changed
almost with every album. A little development, please mr. Jagger and
friends?

The Stones maintain their standing mostly by putting in a lot of work:
touring, releasing album after album. But classic albums by the Stones?
None I think. And they didn't do that many 'classic' songs: Angie, Painted
Black, Start Me Up, Satisfaction, Jumping Jack Flash, that's about it. (of
which I think only the first two are near decent). The Police can at least
equel that number. Not to mention the 'archenemy' of the Stones on the
popularity front: The Beatles (I think some 40 well known classics), or
even The BeeGees. (Not that this is saying too much about quality). One
might wonder where the Police would be if they've kept on plodding away for
years on end, releasing album after album and touring every other year....
(I personally don't care for this 'classics'-issue. One of my three
favorite bands is Steely Dan, who didn't do much 'classical' stuff, but
appeal to me because of their relentless originality. I might even rate
Steely Dan slightly higher than The Police, as far as originality and
technical ability goes.)

Well, so I hate the Stones. And the majority of the members of this list do
as well, it seems. Apparantely a certain frame of mind towards music -
wanting originality in sound and composition, lyrics with some content -
makes one like the Police, and inadvertently hate the Stones. Which makes
these arguments preaching for ones own parish, of course.

Back in the '80s, a friend of mine--only somewhat admiringly--used to
say XTC leader Andy Partridge wrote a lot of great hooks; the problem
was, he put 11 of 'em in every song. These days, people don't talk that
much about XTC, even though its tuneful, eclectic sound should have had
it rivalling Joe Jackson, if not the Police, in Brit-wave, postpunk
popularity. This timely boxed set, with three hours of thrilling music
on four wide-ranging discs, could change the band's place in history.

Once back in the early 90s, Andy played here in Nashville at The Cannery
with *no* advertisement whatsoever.  I just lucked out that I knew he was
going to be there.  There were about 30 of us, with the Headbanger's Ball
going on upstairs (soundproofed, thank Goodness!)  Andy said it was
"intime" and that he liked that and had us all drag our chairs from the
tables to the very edge of the stage.  And when the Headbangers let out,
they all came in to the room where Andy was and stood there in *awe* of the
man... It was cool.  But maybe Andy just "likes intime"... and who am I to
blow against the wind!  Would you rather be with Andy and Stewart in a
crowd of 30-100 or smooshed into a crowd of 500 or 1,000 or 10,000?  Trust
me, when there's 30 of you, Andy will be able to talk to you individually....

     More people in the world have heard music either played by, or

Naturally I disagreed immediately, but does anyone really know/what does

And what does this issue have anything to do with good music? What other
band is going to be mentioned next in the next "wounded-ego" war vs The
Police? Led Zepplin? Pink Floyd?


In an attempt to answer your question . . . The Police were the most
popular band during the early 80's. U2 then took over, and haven't yet,
as far as I'm concerned, reliquished the lead (although their popularity
is starting to dwindle). U2 has outsold the Police. The Rolling Stones
have outsold The Police. And The Beatles have outsold the Police.

I'm not so sure that the Rolling Stones are "dwindling" either. Record
sales aren't what they once were, but they are responsible for
"Bittsweet Symphony" (a huge, heavy rotation hit)--the melody/string
line was written by the Stones (and not The Verve).

Last year, the Rolling Stones grossed the most ticket sales for
concerts, followed by U2 (in 1998). The Rolling Stones still sell out
stadiums in spite of not producing anything decent (in my opinion) in
recent years.

The previous year (1997), U2 was the biggest concert draw for their
Popmart tour.

And I completely disagree with someone's assertion that the Rolling
Stones only had 6 classic songs. Based on having classic rock radio
stations shoved down my throat ad nauseum in Toronto and London
(Ontario, Canada), I typically hear at least 12 Rolling Stones songs in
heavy rotation per week (if I'm lucky I hear maybe 3 Police songs).

In spite of this, I prefer the Police to the Stones. U2 and the Police
are a toss-up for me (both are my favourite groups).

Also, to suggest that originality is paramount for "good" music is, at
the very least, a subjective assertion. Sting has played around with
time signatures (moving away from 4/4 and 3/4)--and most would probably
acknowledge that this practice in rock/pop is somewhat unique; yet off
the top of my head, I can only think of one of these Sting songs that I
really like.

Also, concerning the abilities to play instruments and sing--no fan of
the punk movement cared too much.

It's all subjective. Like what you like and don't be swayed by popular
opinion . . .

Take care,

Aaron

Hmmmmmm.  Sting release a CD in '99 without a tour?  I don't think so.=20
He might cancel one or several dates (he's done that before), but if the
new CD does come out in May as he promised, I'm betting money that the
tour is going this summer.  The timing is too perfect for Miles to pass

Subject: (police) Andy at the Baked Potato
Date: 13 Jan 1999 02:50:27 EST

Andy Summers played his first Baked Potato gig on Saturday at the new location
on Sunset Blvd. The line up was great with Dave Carpenter on bass and Greg
Bissonette on drums. There was about 70 people which is a full house for the
Baked Potato. Andy got to the place a little before 10pm when he was supposed
to start the show at 9pm! He looked in a good mood and his jokes were
flawless, almost between every song. He opened the show with a Monk number
which he has recorded for the new album and then went straight to the known
instrumentals he likes to play at his shows. He did a great rendition of World
Gone Strange, you could almost hear his guitar sing the Middle Eastern humming
vocals of the tune. Notable performances were Mexico 1920, Last Dance of Mr.X,
Big Thing and Lonely Woman with which he talked about his mom. From Golden
Wire he played Eartly Pleasures making the reference to World Gone Strange,
"earth, world, earth, world" he said and while rubbing his nose went on saying
"I guess it's the acid kicking in!" Having seen him play 6 months ago without
any Police instrumental, shivers went dowm the spine when he did the opening
chord progression for Murder By Numbers. Dave Carpenter's bass runnings were
very impressive on that. He closed the show with Monk Hangs Ten with full of
energy and emotion from all three. Considering this is the only show of the
three to feature Greg on drums, I was expecting them to play "Wildwood" from
Greg Bissonette's cd which features Andy on guitar. What a track that is.
Definitely one of my favorite, Andy shines on that one with all his solos and
smooth playing.
I talked to him after the show and he was happy to sign my Mysterious
Barricades cd saying "Haven't seen that one for a while!" He was really
excited to tell me that he is almost finished with his new cd which will only
have Monk covers and will be out in two months. This definitely was a gig
worth having on tape but I prefer soundboard quality and it would be a waste
to record a show like this on portable. Don't believe in bad quality sounds.
Antoni I didn't ask him your question because I got your message after I saw
the gig. I didn't know if there was anybody from the list. I should've posted
my mail a day in advance and that's what I plan to do next time.
Koko :)

The Stones can thank the Beatles for their very first chart position with "I
Wanna Be Your Man". Decca records, who passed on signing the Beatles, took
George Harrison's advice, and signed the Stones. The Police can't claim
anything like that. Indeed, the two groups are completely different in
genre, and should not even be discussed in a "Police vs. Stones"
context...it's absurd to think about. They each do what they do, and very good.

Date: 26 Jan 1999 12:11:04 -0800

Any rational person will agree that both the Rolling Stones and the
Police are two of the greatest music groups of the latter half of this
century. Each was influential in absorbing and producing different types
of compositions from different types of genres. The Stones were the
standard in the 60's. The Police were the standard of the 80's.
Consequently, there can be no finite method through which to determine
which of the two groups is the superior one. The only conclusion that
should be taken into consideration is that each band produced a wide
variety of works that have managed to withstand the test of time. So why
not just simply enjoy music for what it is rather than attempt juxtapose
it against itself?

Keep the spirit alive.

As much as I hate to start another unnecessary reunion thread, I
though I should mention this to the list.
This guy from Tower records mentioned to me that the reason for the
Outlandos tour is to warm Andy and Stewart up for a Police reunion,
since they have not performed these songs live in front of a decent
size audience for years whereas Sting has.  Any truth to this?  I need
to go back and ask this guy his source.  I sure hope Sting doesn't
sell out on me with a Police reunion.

Interesting theory. Unfortunately, with a new solo album supposedly on the
way for May, there's probably little chance that a Police reunion tour
would happen while Sting was supporting the new solo album.

On another note: I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but does
anyone know the eligibility rules for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Are the
Police anywhere close to the rules for nomination? Just curious...

recording of the artist. For the Police I suppose they will be eligible in
2002 or 2003. I would think they would be inducted the first year they are

Date: 27 Jan 1999 10:10:16 -0600


Thanks, everyone, for the quick response to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
induction rules. The next question is...are there any acts in the Hall of
Fame that have multiple inductions? Meaning that if the Police get in,
would it be possible for Sting to get nominated later as a solo act of his
own accord? I can think of several other musicians who might fall under
this scenario as well (Clapton/Cream, Phil Collins/Genesis,
Mossissey/Smiths).

And just for fun: who do you think would be best suited to introduce the
Police? U2's Bono comes to mind (referencing to that whole "passing the
biggest-band-in-the-world torch" at Live Aid), as does Peter Gabriel. Puff
Daddy maybe? ("Yo, thanks to this band I'm a bazillionaire, y'know what I'm
saying? Props!")

Subject: Re: (police) final word on the subject of Stones v The Police
Date: 27 Jan 1999 11:20:02 -0500

Again, not that I'm a huge Stones fan (I'm not; I don't own a single cd
of theirs and my moderate sized cd collection is at over 300 and
growing) . . . I noted that the Stones still sell out stadiums (biggest
world-wide concert act of 1998 in terms of ticket sales), and that
classic radio stations pump out a dearth of Stones' songs. These are
facts. I never suggested that these are reasons the Stones are
"quality". Again, I prefer the Police any day of the week (the only
Stones' song I really like is Paint it Black).

The only reason I give the Stone's credit, is due to other musician's
interpretations of their music. U2 used to incorporate songs like Ruby
Tuesday (I think that's the title) into their live concert versions of
"Bad", arguably U2's best "live" song (and to me, Ruby Tuesday sounds
infinitely better when Bono sings it; I know that sounds like the
biggest insult to Stones fans, but sorry, that's my opinion); Keith
Richards (and I like his song, "Ilene", even though the lyrics are a
littly cheesy) performed "Silver and Gold" originally with Bono, and I
like U2's interpretation of Paint it Black (found on one of their cd
singles).

While I prefer the Police to the Stones, it would be foolish for me to
deny the impact the Stones had on rock music. Speaking of Paint it
Black, I would love to hear Sting cover that song (for some reason, the
lyrics to Paint it Black, remind me slightly of the morose feelings
found in King of Pain).

Actually, there are so many artists that I would never have cared for if
U2 or The Police/Sting never covered their work. I would have never
listened to Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Dylan ('cause his voice, bar none, is the
worst I have ever heard--in spite of this guy being the ultimate rock
and roll poet . . . then I heard Sting's version of "I Shall Be
Released"), Elton John (I hated his music until I heard Sinead
O'Connor's version of "Sacrifice", and I thought, "My God, this is
beautiful. Elton John wrote this?" Then I heard Sting's version of "Come
Down in Time" . . .)

Anyway, while I'm not a huge fan of the Stones, I can't totally write
them off either (the fact that they came up with the string line in
Bittersweet Symphony, plus the numerous songs of theirs that I've
enjoyed when covered by U2 makes me appreciate the Stones a little).

Regards,

Aaron

There are two other members of the Police you know. What if Andy and Stew
hate Springsteen or Elton or vice versa. I think U2 (including Bono,
Larry, Adam and The Edge) will do it. Having Bono up there by himself
would be cheezy to me. The torch was passed in '86 from group to group,
not lead singer to lead singer.

I have no idea. If you want me to (reply to me privately), I can ask on
Exit, the U2 list that I'm on. That's where I received this information.

The song was recorded in Boston at the Paradise in '79. I'm not sure of
the exact date. My brother, who lives in Boston said that WBCN played this
version of "Fallout" on the radio alot and he raved about Andy's guitar
solo.

Bear in mind that induction is NOT based on the selection of one
individual (member or not) of the Hall of Fame.  There is a selection
process and a board of "officials" who name the inductees...or are you
talking about the individual/group who will present the honor?

Just a note of passing. I was listening through some songs on my Message
in a Box CD set the other day and I came across a song that captured my
complete attention. It is called "Darkness" and it is captivating in
such a powerful way because of its subtle rhythm and lyrics. This is the
reason why both the Police and Sting remain one of my favorite groups.
Even their lesser known works that were not released with much publicity
have the sensation of a number one and can withstand the test of time.
If anyone out there has any other smaller recording that they think have
been overlooked, then please don't hesitate to make their existence
known to the rest of us.

Best Wishes

        I totally agree with Justin-"Darkness" is a great Police song which
is probably not well known to a lot of people. One of my all-time favorite
Police songs is "Secret Journey", which ironically comes right before
"Darkness" on the Ghost In the Machine album. If I remember right it was
released as a single in the U.S. (not sure about any other countries) but it
didn't do too well on the charts. I think both of these songs really capture
the kind of haunting quality of a lot of Police songs, particularly on the
"Ghost" album. Another song to mention is the ORIGINAL version of "Bring on
the Night"-of course most of us have heard the live Sting concert-staple
version of this song (which is great too) but the original is really
wonderful and really captures the Police at their best IMHO. I have a friend
who didn't even care for the Police's music until she heard this song! Check
it out on the Reggatta de Blanc album!
        My choice to present the Police with their Hall of Fame award would
be Bono or Eric Clapton-I hope Sting, Andy and Stewart ALL get together for
the event! -Kathryn

Hi Everyone,

I was there a couple of years ago and spent considerable time standing in
awe before Sting's wizard costume from the Synchronicity tour, which is
beautifully preserved and displayed. To answer somebody's question from a
dozen letters ago, the Beatles as a group, and Paul and John individually,
are all in there as separate inductees as far as I recall. I think there
may have been at least one other situation like that, perhaps Paul Simon
individually as well as Simon & Garfunkel collectively, or various members
of Crosby, Stills, Nash, etc. For those of you with the time and/or
inclination, there must be a website somewhere with the info. Meanwhile...
now is the time to start organizing the "Police - Mailing - List - Field -
Trip - to - the - Rock & Roll - Hall - of - Fame - for - The - Induction -
of - the - Police - in - 2003"! I'm in, how 'bout you?! And List Members in
the Cleveland area, this is your moment! Find us a clean, cheap hotel and
we can start organizing the convention! I can see it now... the dealer's
rooms... the official t-shirts and coffee mugs... the all-night screenings
of Sting's films and videos in the ballroom... the farewell banquet with
special guests, the Police, together again... (sigh)
So long from Fantasyland,
Holly Mollo

It was recorded April 7, 1979 at the Paradise Theater. It's really a
wonderful CD, It's available at the Newbury Comics Interactive web site
(http://www.newbury.com) I ordered my copy form there and got it in a
week, I was one happy person :-) Inside the booklet they have a little
paragraph about how Sting had a case of Laryngitis, but that  didn't stop
them from putting on a  great show.

Subject: (police) final word on the subject of Stones v The Police part 2
Date: 27 Jan 1999 17:33:50 -0600

        Sorry, I just had to get in a belated two cents.  I've read a lot
lately about how bad the Rolling Stones are musically or how bad their
showmanship is, etc. compared to the Police and I'd like to offer that I
think it's important to critique a band in terms of musicality and
influence from the context of the time period rather than looking back on a
band's history from a purely 90s sensibility.  Although I don't own any
Rolling Stones records and wouldn't necessarily consider myself a fan and,
in fact, wasn't even born during their heyday, I recognize that at their
inception in the late 1960s, they took popular music to an exciting new
level.  They incorporated blues into popular music with a passionate,
sometimes erotic, style which was entirely in accordance with blues
tradition.  Prior to this period you had a more watered down blues
sometimes seen in big names such as Elvis and the Beatles.  But the Stones
cut through as well with a bad boy persona that I would argue is, or at
least was, one of the fundamental underpinnings of rock and roll.  Not only
that, but they endured during the tumultous cultural changes of the 60s,
70s into the 90s which is a feat not easily accomplished in this world of
capricious musical tastes and fleeting fads.  Now I'm not suggesting that
their music now is anything as exciting as what they did for popular music
in the late 60s, but their musicianship (which is actually quite good for
the style of music they play) I think must be appreciated on this level if
none other.  To tie this back to the Police, the Police in the 80s in a
sense did for reggae what the Rolling Stones did for blues.  They
incorporated it into popular music with innovation and talent.  Thus, I
think the Stones need to be appreciated for, if nothing else, their
prescience of mind in defining an era of music in much the same way that
the Police defined the 1980s.

This is one of the best ideas to ever come out of the list. Realistically,
this would be our only chance to see the Police together again. Does the
inducted band necessarily have to play? I think it does, but I may be wrong.
Anyway, I'm in. Now who wants to take care of all the arrangements?

Interesting forecasts!  I could see Cream doing the honors too.  It's not
too much of a stretch to see The Police as taking over from where Cream
left off as far as three-peice groups go.  Also, Eric Clapton is friends
with Sting & Andy (and most likely Stewart too by association).  I believe
Sting and Jack Bruce share a mutual admiration.  And Ginger Baker has
worked with Andy (on his SYNAESTHESIA album).

Subject: (police) Remasters Reviews
Date: 28 Jan 1999 20:26:34 +0000

From the new issue of Record Collector out today... not a bad round-up, and
someone with taste who has spotted The Soul Cages for the gem it is...

"Sting Digitally Remastered": five studio albums a 'live' double and
'greatest' set. Each CD boasts a bonus CD-ROM video track and additional
artwork. Which is nice. The perfect gift for the late 30s suburbanite,
then. But for those unaware of the scope of the Tynesider's treasure chest
a bit of selectivity may be in order. For the post-Police Sting offers an
eclectic mix of jazz, soul and MOR divergent from much of his seminal group
work. The songwriting is as polemical but often more insular than in his
chart-friendly heyday. And the influence of his mid-80s collaborators Dire
Straits, Phil Collins and Miles Davis is evident in his output of that
time. It was only later that Sting refocused on equally varied but more
accessible and distinctly rock musings.

This is not to say that there aren't some fine moments on Mr. Sumner's solo
debut. "Russians" is a timeless and chilling Cold War critique, while
Thatcherism suffers a similar fate in the thoughtful "We Work The Black
Seam". But the remainder ranges  through gospel to saxy New Orleans blues.
Only "Shadow In The Rain" nods towards the recent past.

Unsurprisingly, much of Sting's second offering, the live' "Br=EDng On The
Night', draws on Police material, albeit couched in new terms. The mellow
"Low Life" predates 90s blues-style Dave Lee Roth, and "We Work" and "Tea
In The Sahara" outshine the studio versions, which is saying something. But
on the debit side, one too many numbers get the cafe society-cum-jazz club
treatment. Dig it. Or don't.

"Nothing Like The Sun" (1987) boasts such plucking luminaries as Messrs.
Knopfler, Clapton and Summers, and the Police    feel is more pervasive,
with poppier territory traversed as readily as 'world' =EDnfluences, like
Andean pipes. "They Dance Alone" bubbles along while conveying its resonant
anti-Pinochet message and "Straight To My Heart" and "Rock Steady" do
exactly what they proclaim. "We'll Be Together" could be Prince (when he
was half-decent)  and with both a Hendrix cover thrown in ("Little Wing")
and the pearler "Englishman in New York", need I say more? Fork out.

The 90s opened with "The Soul Cages" and quite simply, it's a gem. From the
soaring strings of "Island Of Souls" to the insatiably catchy "Mad About
You", there's a host of quality post-Police Police, if you know what I
mean? Other highlights are the involving AOR title, "Wild Wild Sea', and
"Why You Should Cry" (sic). Come 1993, and the lad really had cracked it.
Universal adulation for "Ten Summoner's Tales", and who but the
aurally-challenged can argue? Fusing Sting's mult=ECple styles - funkadelic,
mellotronic, upbeat skiftle and even country'n'western (no offence) - and
drawn across an engaging rock canvas, it's    a complex yet cool and
undeniably satisfying array of memorable songs. I could go on. I will.
Among the gold, shining brightest    are the captivating imagery of "Fields
Of Gold", the menacing "It's Probably Me" (Lethal Weapon III) a witty "St.
Augustine In    Hell" and l=EClting pick me-up "Everybody Laughed But You".
An album without an Achilles' heel. Ditto the collection "Fields of  Gold"
also featuring additional, less available tracks.=20

Following such epics, "Mercury Falling" (1996) was almost bound to pale.
And a lower key, soulful approach is evident, though the Traffic-like "You
Still Touch Me", bluesy "All Four Seasons" and Celtic strains of
"Valparaiso" stand out. There's also an unlisted bonus to spot."

Cheers
Dave & Wendy

Hey Everyone,

I seem to have started something, so let's not stop now! Kimberly and I
have been writing back and forth about conventions (or "cons") we have been
to, and she went to one with a clever name, Kubla Con (it was sci-fi; I've
been to a few of those myself!). But I started thinking about a name for
our "con" if we ever get to do it, and the first thing I thought of was
"Syn-con-icity". Any more suggestions?

(I must add that I also thought of calling the Ballroom formal on Saturday
night (I am INTO this!!!!) the "When We" Dance....)Kim had a few of her own
but I'll leave it to her to share them or not (I hope she does -- they were
clever!)

Don't stop now,

Holly

Ahh.  Was wondering how long it would take folks to notice.  Well, it'd be
nice to say it was a bonus, but all it really was was a big fat frigging
mistake.

Twenty Five To Midnight is included on the cd, despite the fact that it's
not listed on the packaging.  That's because the wrong film -- the U.S.
film -- was initially shipped and nobody caught it until it was too late.

By the way, it's been corrected, so if you have the "wrong" packaging, you
now possess a collector's item.

You ain't heard it from me though :-P.

Another song to mention is the ORIGINAL version of "Bring on
the Night"-of course most of us have heard the live Sting concert-staple

version of this song (which is great too) but the original is really
wonderful and really captures the Police at their best IMHO. I have a
friend
who didn't even care for the Police's music until she heard this song!
Check
it out on the Reggatta de Blanc album!

Well said Kathryn. That's been my 2nd favorite song for a long time, and
when I was touring I found that a lot of other musicians knew that song,
which I was surprised by. I thought it was an unknown gem, but a lot of
people, upon learning that I was such a Police freak, mentioned that
song as a stunning piece of work. My girlfriend, who's from Germany and
knows no rock songs except some Beatles, loves that tune.

And I'm so there at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003!

    Hi friend:

    Maybe the concert you aunt went was held on August 10th 1983. It was
held in Sullivan Stadium in Foxborough near Boston. The track list was the
usual one during the synchronicity tour:

   Synchronicity I & II, Walking in your footsteps, Message in a bottle,
Demolition man, Oh my God, De do do do, de da da da,  Wrapped around your
fingers, Tea in the Sahara, Spirits in a material world, Hole in my life,
Invisible sun, One world, King of pain, Every breath you take, Murder by
numbers, Don't stand so close to me, Can't stand losing you and So lonely.

   If you want more information don't hesitate to mail me.

I've heard that Mat Planet looks a lot like Sting... maybe we could get him

OK, so we know it's in NY, now all we need is to get the dates, times, and
places together.  I'm in and I have some advice for people who will need
to travel by air.  Book your tickets as in advance as possible, say, six
months.  Continental Airlines will probably be the cheapest airline as far
as price goes.  They have good customer service as well.  I wouldn't
recomend taking the bus if you are traveling over 500 miles.  I once took
the bus from Providence, RI to Topeka, KS and I can tell you for a
difference of a one-week wait and $40 I could have saved myself a lot of
discomfort.  For those of you who can spend a little more, have a bit more
time and like adventure, I would suggest taking the train.  Bring a deck
of cards, that is the best way to meet people.  Of course, this is WAY in
advance but I don't think all that much will change in the mean time.

Sincerely,

Betheny

live about 4.5 hours away in central PA and I'll be driving in, so please

November or whatever? As soon as we have that info, we can start booking
this thing!

The March(!) issue of Q has a two page spread on the Remasters CD's and a
charming full length colour photo of Sting with a big grin on his face,
dressed in black waistcoat, standing at a urinal pretending to "point percy
at the porcelain". Should there be a demand, we'll see if we scan the photo
although it's spread over the two pages... The article is quite long, so
it's on our site.

There's also an article about the new museum in Sheffield "The National

    Please disregard the reviewers of All Music Guide. They are total
psychopaths,and I think that it's quite obvious that they never listened to
half the albums they review and most of the other half they only listened to
once. You'll notice that anything that was popular in the UK but not in the
USA is reviewed as crappola,while anything that was popular in the USA but
not in the UK is rated as "rocks the universe". They even noted down
"Invisible Sun" as "bluesy",which is most likely because they could find
nothing wrong with the song,but had to give it a bad review because it
reached #2 in the UK(even with the promo video being banned).
    You may also note that according to them any songs not written by the
group singer stink,and Message in a Box is a piece of trash because of the
one song "Flexible Strageties"(hardly a typical example of a Police song,as
we all know).
    A strange thing is how they rave on and on about Dantalion's Chariot's
only release,The Madman Running Through the Fields,an album that it is
fairly certain almost no one will be able to find. They also make numerous
mistakes-including the statement that the Zoot Money Big Roll Band never
made "anything close to a hit single",and crediting Stewart Copeland to lead
vocals on Otlandos d'Amour.

Date: 30 Jan 1999 14:26:47 -0300

Now that the Sting remasters have come out (I personally haven't seen them
at any record store, though of course I live in Buenos Aires), I must say
that after listening to the lp version of Soul Cages which I bought for $3
US, I must say that no amount of remastering will give the music the
special feel that the LP version has. The same goes for Nothing like the
sun, the police greatest hits, U2 albums joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, and
Beatles albums.  I've heard quite a few times that the quality of sound is
actually better on LP's than on CD's and I've been able to prove it myself,
though of course the LP has all the well known set-backs. My personal
theory is that music that was recorded in the era of LP's (1960's to early
1990's) sounds better on LP's, and newer music, due to improved technology,
sounds just as well on CD. CHAU

some reason, this song should have never made it in the album, maybe a

I'm sorry, I have to disagree.... I don't know if you're a musician or not,
but just the *thought* of playing anything in 7/4 time makes my fillings
ache.... ooooooh.... *woozy now*

This could easily turn into the same kind of debate as the stones versus
police thing did.  The fact is it is more difficult for humans who live in
4/4 time (listen to your heartbeat for proof) to play something so odd.
Even a waltz is easier than swapping from 3 to 4 beats every time.

So I finally get to my question:  weak in what way?

I'm afraid you are, Ross,  they're still the best selling band of all

too); for those interested, best selling male artist is still Elvis; Female

I've been told the sound on LPs may sound superior to cds THE FIRST time the LP
is played. I've tested this theory on stereo systems that cost more than
$50,000 (not my systems .  . . I wish .  . .), and the cds, to me, sound
superior, each and every time.

I can't speak for the remastered versions of Mercury Falling, TST, etc. But the
remastered version of Bring on the Night (I bought this at Future Shop for $21
Canadian, which I am conviced is price screw up) does much better. The guitar
work on the remastered tracks on Bring on the Night sound "crisper" and
cleaner. And I've heard the remastered version of Dream of the Blue
Turtles--it's FAR better than what it once was (on previously released LP or
cd).

You mentioned Achtung Baby . . . All U2 material has been recorded in
analog--even POP (I believe this is by choice by the band). So, remastered
stuff of U2 material would be a bonus, in my opinion . . . Especially any thing
you can get your hands on that's been remastered from The Unforgettable Fire,
perhaps the most muddied engineered/recording of an album that  I can think of.
The new "Best Of" (U2) has had all the tracks remastered; "Pride" and "Bad"
sound ***10 times better*** on this remastered compilation than any cd or LP
version of The Unforgettable Fire (for obvious reasons--seriously that cd
sounds like it was mixed in someone's basement).

One complaint of remastered work is that sometimes it's felt that the treble is
boosted far too high, giving the recording a "brassy" or bright sound . . .

Aaron

Well, I think maybe, the song is weak in the lyrics.  However, Andy's

I never said that the lyrics were important.  I was just answering the
question. ;-)

Andy's guitar riffs are a great reason why I like Wrapped Around
Your Finger too.  In fact, I heard another song from some other
group with the same riffs in it.  I cried out "they're ripping off Andy!"

My God, you wish ill on me, wish that I get sick if a Police reunion
tour comes to my town.  First off, fifteen years ago, you couldn't
find a bigger Police fan than myself.  Things have changed and today I
appreciate Sting's solo work more.  I believe Sting will be selling
out with a Police reunion.  Because Sting is no longer a top 40 song
writer doesn't mean shit,  I'll rather listen to "Sister Moon" than
"Truth hits everybody" and I believe Sting will be taking a step back
going to that top 40 song writing style he had with the Police.  The
only reason for a reunion tour in my eyes is MONEY, DINERO, L'ARGENT.
If you really have a problem with me stating my opinion, it
reemphasizes the need for a separate Sting mailing list, Gfy!

BTW, got a hold of U2's Pop Mart Mexico City concert on video tonight
and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.  I thought the guys lost a
bit of their touch with the Australian video concert some years back.
Overall, this concert is excellent, and damn, the Edge can sing too!

Selling out?He already is,and doing far worse.Can anybody say Puff Daddy?I'd
rather have police reunite than to hear Sting ruin one more of their songs
with these embarrassing dance remixes/remakes he's doing.
It's a joke really and a bad one at that.If selling out is what he wants to
do,why not do it big time and give the fans what they really want.Think of
all the rainforest he could save with the revenue.

Of course, I do not wish Gerard ill personally. It applies to all those

just emphasizing my point. I suppose I could have said "I wish you get a

Is Sting clairvoyant?  How the hell was he supposed to have known
"I'll be missing you" was going to be a hit and generate money?  He
would be considered an ass in the music industry if he refused a
request to record his song.  As for remixes, he used them on B_sides,
SO WHAT?  I understand your complaint if he was releasing an album
with remixes but he is not.  After 20 yrs in the business, new songs
probably don't flow as they used to, he was generous with B sides that
had new songs (Pirate's Bride, etc.) on the last album.  I think we
were lucky to get all those new songs, what I am trying to say is to
probably expect more remixes or maybe live material as B sides. I
think we are also lucky to get live songs as B sides as most other
artistes keep those for live albums.

Now, Roxanne 98, everybody is allowed a couple screw ups but then
again it was used to promote the POLICE and Sting greatest hits, which
confirms my original point, anything with the Police equals sell out,
Roxanne '98 is proof ;-)

To stress on this point, I can see the headline on the cover of
Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines.

"STING REFUSES TO ALLOW RAPPERS TO RECORD HIS SONGS, BUT WILLINGLY
GIVES TO COUNTRY AND ROCK ARTISTES, IS STING A RACIST?"

Yes, this is what will be perceived is Sting refuses to let Puff Daddy
and other rappers record his songs, now what kind of PR would that
generate?

In the end, Sting is probably honored to have such a diverse following
and to have been asked by Puff Daddy to record his song.

Man, FOX is playing tons of U2 in their Super Bowl pregame.

So, in turn, that tells us that Sting is slightly overpowered by record
companies and the like, and that sucks.

I have been reading the arguments here and there and what I have found out is
that this is utter and complete bull shit. Who cares? I can't deny that Sting,
in later years, has matured and his songs have gotten more profound and deep.
His music has branched out in diverse ways. I think that the Police were more
of a pop sounding group, whereas Sting's solo work is more subtle and such.

There's one thing you are not considering. both Stewart and Andy, in their time
away from the Police, have also gotten more diverse and subtle and all that. Do
you think if  there was a Police reunion that they would record the same stuff
as 20 years ago? I think not. All three of them have changed drastically, so
there';s no telling.

The Police may be considered sell out, but not really. of course, without the
Police, Sting would have had a harder time forging a successful solo career.

And, by the way, a police reunion is just bloody unlikely anyway.

Okay you make some goods points and I'll agree with you.How about this
though.How many times are we going to get the same hits repackaged over and
over again?The police only have 5 studio albums how many best ofs do they
need?I have all the albums as I'm sure most of you do.It's just too me the
last two compilations seemed pointless almost to the point of being
exploitive from this fans point of view anyways.
Greatest Hits I could let slide as it had been awhile since the first one
and I actually remember it selling quite well where I lived anyways.It
allowed alot of people who had gotten out of the Police since their absence
to rediscover them.Fine.Then a few years later another compilation this one
being Digitally remastered with remixes.When that came out I thought to
myself Sting what are you doing?This is what washed up artists do to make
some quick money.Then comes the best of Sting AND the police..... this
shortly after Fields of Gold a summation of his solo work.Like what was the
point?He'd only made one other album in the meantime.It's almost as if he's
saying to all those die hards who must have everything okay shell out now
for this Puff Daddy remix.Hey they're Sting's songs he can do whatever he
wants with them right?Fine leave them as b-sides than and stop using them as
excuses for littering the market with best of compilations.It's making him
look like a joke.Now before you all get up and arms and start screaming for
my blood I'm not trying to bash Sting here.I grew up listening to his music
and following his career... it just pains me to see what he is doing here.
I just hope his new album is good,as I was'nt exactly too fond of mercury
and it's rare for me to not like an album by him.As for the police reuniting
it's really the only reunion I've been waiting for.I've seen Sting solo
several times but sadly I was too young to see the Police.If it does'nt
happen I can understand as the three of them did'nt always exactly get
along.I just think it would have been a good gesture to the fans who have
supported them through all these years.

If what you are suggesting is a GROUP album that honestly reflects the
members musically leanings today, fine.  What I don't want is a
reunion rehashing the "Next to you" type stuff of the past.  When I
was 12 years old, those songs were the best thing ever happened to
music at the time and although I still appreciate them today, it's not
the same impact it had back then.

I am also against an album where Sting contributes all 10 songs.  Each
member should write 3 or 4 songs and release the album as a total
group effort, no matter the outcome or the fate of the Police as a
rock n roll legacy.

I also think it's a bunch of bullshit about people complaining that in
the past Sting would not sing Stewart's or Andy's songs.  It is clear
that Sting's songs were superior to the others and thus obvious why
more of their songs didn't end up on an album.

I can't think of one band in the history of rock and roll where one
man wrote all the words, all the music, sang and played bass.  U2 has
the Edge and Bono doing a lot of the writing; Genesis a total group
effort; Beatles, Lenon and Mc Cartney; Stones, Richards and Jagger;
Rush a group effort.  Please enlighten me with another band with such
a one sided affair.  So why the hell should Sting return to a
situation where he was generating all the songs, and then having to
deal with a bunch of tribal warfare and egos to get what he wants?
For the fans?  Bullshit, I would not subject myself to that pain for
others.  The only successful collaborations I can think of are Murder
by Numbers where Andy wrote the music and Sting the lyrics, and the
song Regatta De Blanc which the band wrote.

I know Andy and Stewart are world class musicians and the albums would
have sounded a lot different without them but hell, I can also say
that Nothing Like the Sun would have been a different album without
Branford, and TST different without Vinnie.  The fact is every
musician has their own signature.  But an album like Synchronicity,
where it is clear where the creative energy came from on that album,
why should Sting stamp the other 2 guys names on there when it was
more a less a solo Sting album, I have already crossed out the Police
and wrote Sting on my copy.  What the hell did Stewart do on that
album, the entire drum programming on Walking in your Footsteps was
done by Sting, they used a drum machine on Every Breath, give me a
break, Synchronicity is a solo Sting album with some creative energy
from Andy Summers.

If I were in Sting's shoes and faced with the same options, I would
have said screw the reunion, I refuse to regress!!!!

You may have noticed that the Police themselves departed from that type of
material when they were still together. (See Ghost & Sync.) Those last two
Police albums - Andy's & Stew's songs included - are much more original and
outside mainstream pop (why it is again and again claimed the Police is
very commercial / pop is beyond me) than that I'm So Happy Can't Stop
Crying, Hung My Head-crap Sting himself is producing these days. A 7/4th
time can't hide a lack of ideas! ('crap' being my subjective opinion here.
Before someone jumps on this with a stifling Postmodernist-statement). I
have a feeling music has become an uninspirational 9 to 5 job for Sting
lately. He has dozed in, and needs a harsh enviroment to wake him up again.
Or at least make him regain some of his former integrity - he seems to have
become so cynical these days, with those numerous best ofs and dreadfull
remakes with Puff Daddys and Aswads and what nots. To add to that the boys
have gone in such different directions that the friction in musical ideas
might produce something interesting. (Although I don't think Sting will
ever be willing to reunite. Because, oh, life is easy this way....snore,
nicely unopposed, snore, snore, zzzzzzzzz, don't wake me up till I'm dead).
Yes, the moment there's no-one to say something's shit, and everyone starts
saying hail to the king, you're lost.

>I can't think of one band in the history of rock and roll where one
>man wrote all the words, all the music, sang and played bass.

How about Paul Simon writing all Simon & Garfunkel material, plus playing
guitar, and most of the vocals? And how do you mean, all the words, all the
music? The majority, you mean. And what about playing the stuff - Andy and
Stew are better musicians than Sting is, that should count for something.
(For instance there's an enormous bass cock up in Sync I) And don't forget
about the arranging. The creamy Andy-part on EBYT enhanced the appeal of
the song by quite a percentage.

>I also think it's a bunch of bullshit about people complaining that in

>that Sting's songs were superior to the others and thus obvious why

I think the complaint is justified. It's unfair to give songs a headstart
because they're sung by the better vocalist. As a band you should want to
do the best songs in the best possible way. To decide on that fairly you
first have to play them * all * in the best possible way, now don't you?
It's not about not having enough songs on albums, it's about musical
apartheid. By the way, Sting didn't have any problem asking Andy to play
guitar on Sting-compositions, so why not play voice on Andy's? I think it's
a bit childish, actually.

>I know Andy and Stewart are world class musicians and the albums would
>have sounded a lot different without them but hell, I can also say
>that Nothing Like the Sun would have been a different album without

And Ringo Starr shouldn't be regarded a Beatle, or George Harrison (who
like Andy and Stew did just a couple of songs. Some very good ones:
Something, While My Guitar Gentle Weeps, Taxman, Here Comes The Sun, but a
Beatle - no way!). What a load of bs. Andy & Stew had a much greater input
in the composing, the arranging, and the deciding where the band should go,
than either Branford or Vinnie. A band isn't just writing songs, it's also
about deciding which ones to play, and how to play them, or how to change
them to make them better.

> What the hell did Stewart do on that
>album (Sync), the entire drum programming on Walking in your Footsteps was

I remember Stewart saying in an interview he personally was very pleased
with his drumming on EBYT. That's no drum computer, that's just Stewart
playing very tight. There's plenty of drums going on on Sync, make no
mistake about it!

>If I were in Sting's shoes and faced with the same options, I would

He's regressing like mad this very day. I think he's been regressing since
Nothing Like The Sun actually. That one was for me the top of the mountain.
From thereon, all downhill. (Which I think is sad, because he has talent in
abundance). But like they say: fools are partly born and partly made.
Likewise great composers are. And The Police milieu made Sting to a large
extent, I think, and can make him erupt again.

Date: 31 Jan 1999 23:50:15 EST

I have to agree with Gary, a *true* Police fan wants to see the guys
get back together--at least for a concert, hopefully an album.

For me, Gerald, it's not bullshit as far as them doing it for the fans.
I have
never seen the band live and in person.  I would like to finally get that

chance.

As far as their musical styles, I have to agree with Timothy that both
Stewart and Andy have become quite "diverse and subtle" in their
interests as well as Sting.  They are all at the same level, probably
more compatible then when they were a band.

[e-mail] (Auke Hulst) wrote:

It pains me, but I have to agree with this feeling.  He's too
comfortable,
and not as inspired as he could be--with some friction.

<<The Police milieu made Sting to a large extent, I think, and can make

Yes, I agree whole-heartedly.  I love Sting.  I love his solo work.
However, I love The Police too.  Sting can work with other musicians,
allow them input into the songs (sometimes too much input)--why not
allow his old mates the same privilege?

If anything is bullshit, it's Sting saying he can't go back.  Well, geez,
of course not!  The Police could only forge ahead.  These guys are too
smart, too talented, and too desirous for their music to be fresh--to
just
get together and remake their greatest hits.

I think we're forgetting that--to these guys, the albums were just the
blueprints.  I recall Andy saying that, by the end of a tour, the songs
were so much better.  Sting felt that way too, and has also about his
solo work.

As far as I'm concerned, for Sting, Stewart and Andy, all these years
have been like a looong tour.  Only, they haven't been touring
together. ;-)

I still like to think that they care about their fans.

Teri

ISHICSC is unique in experimenting with a hybrid of country music (not
that I like country), anyway if the song was so bad I doubt it would
have been featured in the "musician of the year" category or be remade
by a country singer, Toby Keith.  Why is it that so many people that I
know that literally hate country music have taken a liking to this
song?  If you believe I Hung my Head is crap, we must agree to
disagree, that is one hell of an arrangement and BTW, it's not 7/4
time, it's 9/8.  If I asked you to clap to the snare on I hung my
Head, there is a good chance your timing might be lost.  Maybe it's
the complexity of the beat or the clever mix of country and rock
that's confusing, but I understand the general public would not be
willing to give the song a chance, it's too foreign to them, they
aren't comfortable with it, similar to someone's introduction to jazz.
 I personally think it's an incredible arrangement but different
strokes for different folks.

I don't consider Simon & Garfunkel or Joe Jackson a *band*.

 And how do you mean, all the words, all the

Well, if that weren't the case they would not have agreed to "words &
music by Sting"

Andy and

something.

In your opinion!

Sting claimed in an interview that he came up with the riff, Andy also
claimed that it was his riff, EBYT is definitely a toss up, but the
majority of songs, believe it or not the main melody is Sting's.  I
once heard a tape of a Police demo that Sting brought into the studio
before Stewart or Andy touched the song, the heart of the song was
already created.

He did sing on some of Andy and Stewart songs, Omegaman and Miss
Gradenko are two I can think of, which I myself like, if you were
Sting would you have sung Mother?  Lastly, Sting played bass on all of
Andy's compositions, so there, they are equal, Andy played guitar on
all of Sting's songs and Sting, bass on all of Andy's, shheeesh!


 Andy & Stew had a much greater input

From the reports of studio fighting they obviously tried to impose
themselves as a band much more than Branford or Vinnie but if their
contributions were so much why didn't they seek credit for the music?
Did Sting beat them on top of their head and bullied them out of song
writing credits?  Were you in the studio to see Andy's or Branford's
contributions?  Reading some interviews, Sting would whistle the
"theme" behind a solo and Branford would enhance the result, I read of
similar scenarios with Andy on some Police songs.

I guarantee you the kick on Every Breath is a Drum Machine, the snare

I myself was not 100% happy with Sting's last solo effort, but if he
does need a kick in the ass, I hope it doesn't come from Andy and
Stewart.

Boy, isn't this fun!


Peace!

All these discussions and arguments on reunions just seem a little
irrelevant.. Now don't get me wrong, I'd love a reunion as much as the next
guy. But after all, here are Stings most recent thoughts on the subject:

I totally agree! Finally someone that has something positive to say. If
you are a true fan then you will let yourself open up to what the artist
is giving you. I love all of Stings music. I look forward to his next CD
and I can't wait to hear that wonderful voice. I was never into jazz but
Sting took me there. Same goes for country. I love the man and his music
and I thank him for exposing  me to different kinds of music styles. I
will follow him anywhere!

I understand your point Gary but today I see myself as a Sting fan
first, Police second, my opinions on a reunion does not mean I don't
appreciate the music of the Police.   I am a huge Police fan but a
bigger Sting fan.

Lastly, on the subject of Branford and why I compare his contributions
to Sting's music to that of Andy or Stewart.  Those who have heard the
live versions of Children's Crusade or Sister Moon (b-side of Why
Should I cry for you), IMHO, those solos are some of the best solo
work of any musician with or without the Police on a Sting song.  The
music from Branford's horn is sweeter than sugar, it's one of the most
intriguing pieces I have heard, period.  Sorry, but Andy's guitar
hasn't come close to moving me the way Branford's sax did on those
songs.

I've been a member of this list for quite some time now and it seems that we,
as a list, do not discuss The Police and Sting appropriately.  I feel as if
everyone bickers about personal opinions within the topics rather than make
insights and observations.  If you have an opinion, cool.  That's great!
(Hopefully being a fan you'll have lots of them!)  And if you do decide to
make your opinion public on the list, even better.  But if you agree or
disagree with whoever's opinion; don't take it so personal.  It's okay to
agree and disagree!  I think that we all can agree that Sting and The Police
are wonderful topics!  So please keep the opinions coming!!  But at the same
time use discretion on what you intend to say and how you intend to respond.
I joined this list to learn more about the band and Sting's, Andy's, and
Stewart's forthcoming achievements and not because I want my opinion to rule
over all who is the better musician or whatever!  I feel close to you all
because we all revel in great musicians.  So let's stay coherent as a group.
We can agree and disagree all we want but not argue over simple issues.  And
hopefully you won't read this and think, "Shut up, eric, you fuckin' dork!"
Money Grip!  eric.

Granted, by saying this, you do not consider or did not consider the Police a

just played more or less. A great artist Joe Jackson is (or was).... .

I wasn't too happy with his last one either, but I don't consider myself a true
Sting fan, although I definitely like many of his albums and such. isn't it
pointless to say you are a bigger Sting fan if you expect a certain sound or
type of music on teh next album or something? Does being a fan mean that you
have to like ALL of the albums?

I couldn't agree more. Sting is not at all. I don';t think it is at all. He is
not losing his creative vision. There are good days and there are bad days.
Considering that STing said that he doesn't have to make records to sell, I
have a lot more respect for the guy...... But isn't it pointless to say that a
person is not a true STing fan because he doesn't like ONE album? I think DOTBT
and Nothing LIke the Sun are fantastic. TST was a bit too Policy for Sting, but
still a good release on the whole. Mercury Falling is totally different. I
don't like it very much, but still, I see the creative energy and musicianship
that he has. I didn't like Sting's solo stuff too much when I first checked it
out, but i've grown to really love it. Sit down with a bottle of whiskey, a
cigar, and just listen to Nothing Like the Sun. It's quite beautiful. And
moving in many ways.

To sum up about Andy and Stewart, I respect them both for their musicianship.
Andy's lyric writing is not good, although he is a fine solo artist as well.
Stewart I really can't comment on. I have onyl heard a few song excerpts.

I'm not sure about that drum machine on EBYT. It definitely does not sound like
a human drummer. Sounds like a drum machine........

Of course, I have not heard the live versions, but I can't deny that there is
