well, today's the day, the day that we have been waiting for the past...17 yrs my emotions are mixed on it. this past thursday i found out that my boss had to tickets to the ceremony but that he gave them away - without even mentioning to me that he had them in the 1st place. i sarcastically pointed out that i have had three police posters framed at company expense - that alone should have raised a flag! i can stay mad about it for the rest of my life but why bother? 17 years. i was 16 the last time the police graced a stage in a concert setting. 1986. the amnesty shows. from the video i have seen of their set at giants stadium, they were awesome, as usual. and i have no doubt that their performance tonite will be the talk of the music and entertainment industry tomorrow, everyone from nancy o'dell to kurt loder going on and one about how great they were at the ceremony, a few daring to ask the rhetorical question "why aren't they still playing together? it's obvious they are still a great band." therein lies my dilemna. barring an 11th hour miracle today, i, like the rest of you, will tune into vh-1 on sunday and watch the boys captivate the waldorf and tv-land for about 20 minutes. but then it will be all over. today is a bittersweet day in the annals of police history because while they are getting inducted into the hall of fame and playing together in the process, i have no doubt that it will also be the last time they ever play together again. for those of you that think this is a good thing, get back to me next monday, after you have seen the footage and are over being awestruck. it will be 'regatta' you will be listening to next week, not BND. rich __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

>remakes that completely ruined the original song. Stuff like Britney >Spear's remake of Joan Jett's "I love rock n roll" is on the list. I'm SO glad I never heard that version. >#5 is: The Police remaking Don't Stand So Close To Me in 1986 >completely ruined the original. I can't agree with that one. Even though the lyrics are the same, it really feels like a completely different song. Thankfully, all I hear on the radio is the original version. I STILL can't listen to the remake without remembering that day I first saw the video and realized deep in my heart that it was over. This is all bitter-sweet. I too will be listening to "Regatta" after sunday. I wish I could hang out with you all in NYC tonight, but unfortunately it's just not possible.

I don't know if the gathering of the listers is still going to happen as mentioned at one point, it's been so quiet regarding that lately! I was planning to go just to be "there"---tough decision, but Fiction Plane is finally coming to Texas so I decided the trade off is worth it to me ... its a sure thing seeing them, slim odds on actually getting in to the induction. 25 years from now when FP is being inducted, I'll have no regrets on my decision, right? I saw them last year in Boston and had that same high of seeing the Police in their early days. How can I pass that up? I'll keep my "seeing the Police live" memory intact even though I really wanted to relive that on the 10th. Now if it were for more than 2 songs and I actually had a ticket to get in, that would be another story! Hope all that are able to go have a great time and it's everything you'd hope it would be! Michelle Anyone want my reservation for the room at the Waldorf Astoria? I was only able to book the night before, but I'm canceling it probably tomorrow.

Re: [Police] remasters

I was at Best Buy today and decided to take a look at the remasters. I ended up getting the greatest hits, (the one with the MIAB remix) and it has no extras. The packaging is cardboard rather than the plastic CD case, (thats different, don't think I would buy it again just for that). The CD has the same songs and I really couldn't hear any difference in quality of the audio when compared with Message In A Box. I would not rebuy the whole catalog just because it now comes in cardboard, but I am sure that there will be some who will. I guess they can feel happy about giving Sting $0.04, Stew $0.02, and Andy $0.01/2, (cheap shot I know) from each CD bought. I sent an email before that had Miles talking about putting out a bunch of Police DVDs next year. I will hope that they at least have some new stuff on it. On a side note, AC/DC has re-released the first half of their catalog and they do come with some different/new things. It seems like whenever a band gets into the Hall, they re-release their CDs again. Hope this helps, Sean

If the person who sent it has a virus it might have duplicated one of their old e-mails and sent it to their address book.

Does this have anything to do with Sting or the Police? Don't want to go there if not...
