I'VE GOT A CRIMINAL RECORD. IT'S ZENYATTA MONDATTA BY THE POLICE. NO WAIT, THAT'S NOT RIGHT. HANG ON, I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO KEEP TITLES SHORT. LIKE...
...MORRISSEY.
Nothing lifts my mood more than the news that Sting is about to do something. Except perhaps the sight of Bob Geldof shaking his collection tin on St Peter's Street. Accompanied by Bono playing Bob Marley songs on acoustic guitar. In fact, you're lucky that I managed to stop singing it from the rooftops for long enough to inform you that The Police have reformed to rake it in once more. Sting is taking his top off to practice glistening with sweat as I type.
One great rock music story that I've heard three different versions of is that Stewart Copeland, the drummer from out of The Police hated Sting so much that he had *EITHER* "Sting is a Cunt", "Fuck off Sting" OR Sting's face scrawled on his drum skins to help him hit them harder. What's less widely known is that Andy Summers, the guitarist from out of The Police (it's no mistake - Sting was the bass player from out of Sting's band) painted all of his guitar strings in yellow and black stripes like Sting's jumpers that he got his nickname from in order to lash out at them furiously so that they'd break more while the band were playing sold out stadiums.
If they really needed the money I'd post play.com or amazon links here for Stewart Copeland's Everybody Stares DVD (supposed to be great), Andy Summers' One Train Later book (supposed to be good) or Sting's solo back catalogue (Sting likes it. A lot).

yey, are you back bloggin? If Sting et al just keep to playing the old stuff and don't release new work we may be safe from them ruining the airwaves. I'm not confident though.
