The Police are merrily going around rubbing other bands' noses in it at the moment. Even though it basically consisted of a 56-year-old man, a 55-year-old man and a 65-year-old man playing a song about a prostitute, The Police's big comeback performance was the highlight of The Grammys, and that's not something you could say about other newly-reformed bands like James or Crowded House.
While I'm wondering if I somehow wrote this article without remembering, I'm very happy that this has happened. Yes, Sting is a pretentious asshole, but being someone who's loved this band since its formation and never got to see them in concert growing up, I'll be able to be one of those tired cliche ridden aging hipsters who's willing to overpay too much for a ticket to relive their youth. YEAH! |
