W00t! My buddy Chuck braved the fees and crowds of the Ticketmonster phone queue to score a couple seats to the Police reunion tour, co-sponsored by Geritol and Depends.
I am psyched to see Stewart Copeland play. At one time I owned both Animal Logic records and I have the Oysterhead project too — two intriguing matches that left something to be desired (my opinion: great songwriting).
There’s a great quote from Copeland in the NYT article, They Can Play. Can They Play Nice?:
Right now we’re not incredible… We started out like a high school band last week. We got to be like a college band. Yesterday we started to sound like a bar band. Today we sound like, “O.K., we could earn a living like this.” But we are not yet playing like we deserve to play in a stadium. We’ll get there, now that we’re on the right track.
