Okay...so I bought a ticket to see the Police in June 2007...

Has anyone else seen them play recently? What should I expect? I don't even have all their albums yet to be honest (well, I do now, but I'm just getting to grips with Zenyatta Mondatta & Ghost In The Machine). All I can say is, I have grown to appreciate them more over the years. I pulled out the Synchronicity album tonight and thanked a non-existent god that I was born at a time that allowed me to experience the 80's musically, growing up. I was in love for the first time at the ripe age of 12 and several songs from that record were totally wrapped up with my silly romantic feelings. I found I don't even mind hearing the singles from that now, which surprised me.

Anyway, I know there are a lot of folks in the world who are so repulsed by the very idea of Sting that they can't take the idea of the Police and I don't understand these people. For god's sake if it were Sting doing a gig, I wouldn't even bat an eyelash, let alone spend $60 on a ticket. Big fuckin' difference between Sting solo and the Police.

Wow this is weird, nu-ILX just said there was one new answer to this thread, when in fact there are none yet.

― Bimble, Sunday, 25 February 2007 07:40 (eighteen years ago)

Now there are two new answers! Does this mean a ghost posted the first response??? Or just the invisible man?

Bimble, obviously it's the Deus Ex Machina!

Hahaha...there is an In The Nursery song called that isn't there? In fact, I realized I still have that record. I am going to pull it out right now! "Sonority-A Strength" it was called. A 12". I know I still have it. (digs through vinyl...)

― Bimble, Sunday, 25 February 2007 08:27 (eighteen years ago)

Yes I have it and yes it has a song called that. So there. I'm going to put it on my record player just as soon as I get done with what I'm listening to right now.

Never mind, this thread is supposed to be about the Police. Sorry for the detour.

I know this is so against the ILX grain, but here's a recent discussion about the Police somewhere else on the interwebs:

Ha!

― Lostandfound, Sunday, 25 February 2007 08:40 (eighteen years ago)

Hahahaha you had an illegal link! (much like Marcello did on that other thread)
It's kindof like having a nu-ILX fart! Not your fault, though, of course.

― Bimble, Sunday, 25 February 2007 08:42 (eighteen years ago)

OMG I was NOT WARNED OF A XPOST! Now I know what it feels like! The point is to confuse individuals who are already intoxicated and do not need to be confused! The mission of nu-ILX!

― Bimble, Sunday, 25 February 2007 08:44 (eighteen years ago)

I saw them in '84 and thought they were terrible back then. I'd only be interested now if they just played all of Outlandos D'Amour and maybe "Demolition Man."

― Elvis Telecom, Sunday, 25 February 2007 08:49 (eighteen years ago)

Bimble, I'd say it was more of a belch, or maybe a hiccup, than a fart. There is no miasmic cloud. But that could be because I'm getting all Yessed out here in time-honoured ILM fashion.

― Lostandfound, Sunday, 25 February 2007 08:57 (eighteen years ago)

Hmm. Perhaps you are right.

Mr. Telecom is also right, though. "Demolition Man" is pretty extraordinary.
