Still think Sting is a genius even though I hear he's a jerk.

I have always liked this tune. It was almost a forgotten track off a well put together album, until it was used in a car commercial which gave it the airplay and attention it needed to rise through the airwaves.

You know you don't have any real friends when you make music like this.
Nobody around him had the balls to tell him it's just shit.

Ironically, his song Rock and Roll Part 2 is played at sporting events all over the US. Even at junior high and high school events. To me, that's like playing Micheal Jackson's Thriller at a little kids Halloween parade.
I think Rock and Roll Part 2 isn't played anymore at sporting events in the US. Certainly the big-time professional leagues like the NFL and NBA stopped using it because of Glitter's crimes. If it's used in schools, that's likely down to a lack of awareness more than cynical acceptance. Most of the kids would like to hear something much more contemporary, I'm sure. |

I actually like this. Sorry if I let everyone down with that, it's fun to dislike Sting, but there you go. We all like something.

I've always enjoyed the transatlantic indian influence of this tune. Without it...it would be just another post Police Sting tune.

And, oh, how you do slag. Strangely, you also whine (as above). I will say, though, that you are no happy-clappy positivist. So there is that. I find it not the least bit interesting or apropos that the jag-off who sang backing vocals on this 15 year old Sting track happens to be a criminal scumbag. Now... whether or not it it monotonous is up for debate to be sure. Personally, I'm of the opinion that this is not one of the better tracks from the album. I prefer the title track. |

Why don't you take all your negativism somewhere else and allow the rest of us to enjoy the music without having to endure your whining? Your comments are annoying and more than slightly boring. One can enjoy the music (or not) without reading the comment pages. |

Oh, man ... right after that "Kula Shaker" song where Ginger Baker makes a taco, you play the song with "I dream of rain, and Lady Elaine". Remember, she lived in the museum?
