[Politics] Sting

[WATFORD zero]

For me, he joins Van Morrison, James Brown, George Benson etc, great musician up himself twat

I find Sting/Police music utterly boring and they are one of a few artists if they ever come on the car radio, I instantly turn over to another station.

I can borrow Sting’s Tuscany farmhouse any time that I want.

I went to Sting's show in Ottawa 2 years ago with my eldest teenage daughter (we're both big fans, although I have a few decades' head start, lol), and it was WONDERFUL!

He absolutely rocked the place, was fun and playful in between songs, and rearranged most of the tunes for more oomph. (Think Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense tour/movie vs the album tracks.) Great audience participation -- my daughter and I were singing and dancing in our seats, and Sting et al. were obviously energized by the feedback from 10 000 other fans doing the same.

Dominic Miller has been playing with Sting since the early 90's, he's an excellent guitarist and famously wrote the beautiful guitar parts for Shape of my Heart!

One of my favourite music channels is Rick Beatos. Here's the one featuring Dominic and that famous acoustic riff

I love that video and Rick Beatos interviews! I don't have the time at the moment to relearn it, but I used to play the classical guitar as a child and nearly rushed out to buy one after watching that!

Difficult to put into words how disappointed I am with nobody here getting this reference.

Great article with possibly the greatest musician our shores have produced. Lovely to see him giving something back.

Not a bad gaff, probably popular with the Russians

It's passed me by I'm afraid . Sounds like it could refer to a Half Man Half Biscuit lyric , but not one I can place.

Wow. I watched and listened for about 15m. I love my music, but that was sooo boring.
