STING appreciation thread

[No-Body]

Seems to me such a thread is long overdue. I've always loved Sting's music, either with the Police or by himself - infectious melodies, poetic and awesomely poignant lyrics, supremely elegant and energetic live performer i realy can't express in words my level of appreciation of this man's craft. The world might have lost an English teacher, but boy did we all gain a brilliant artist or what?

He is also a great dad, a wonderful husband, an activist and he even has a house in Tuscany which i love so much (not the house, the Italian province lol). What's there not to like about the man?

Here he is talkin' about the begining of his amazing career......
