Andy just released Metal Dog.
Sting is doing... something I assume?
Stew is... probably being Grandpa Copeland with all his kids...
I know they're busy and totally comfy. That can't possibly lend itself to a
new album. They'd need to have fire and desire again, it's how getting
things done in general works. None of them want conflict because they have
the money to make conflict go away in their day to day lives, right? It
would be tough to put them back together, not being comfy and arguing.
Do I think they COULD make something pretty cool if they put in the time?
Yeah. If Bowie can, they can too imo.
Do I think they will...? I actually think that with some prodding from
more modern producers and maybe some collaboration, I think Sting could
churn out some incredibly literary and smart lyrics, Andy and Stew could
lend all sorts of interesting bits and pieces, I just think that they'd
need to let go of the Police sound, to a degree.
I don't know. I love this discussion, though!

I know some of you disagree with me, but I always thought the work that
happened as The Police still stands as better than any of the work the guys
have created as individuals.
This article isn't about them, but it does a really good job of
articulating my theories about what made the band so great:

It's October 2nd in the eastern time zone, so happy birthday to himself! I
plan to celebrate by sleeping in. ;)
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Hugs all around,
