I hope I'm not posting the erroneously, but my husband reported to me that
Sting's due to be on ABC's Good Morning America today, Feb. 1. It didn't
show up on my Directv directory, but I'm watching for him!

Hi guys,
it was a long time since I last wrote anything so I thought I would cheer you guys up a little. (It depends how you look at it. :) )
Just heard a song by Mary J blidge called "Dance for me". The striking thing about the song is that someone found use for their sampler. :) They have sampled "the bed's to big without you". They have both used Andy's guitar and some of Sting's bass playing. I could hear it directly but it took a while for me to realize that they also took some of the bass guitar too. And just to cheer you guys even more, (:)) they even used some of used a hihat hit from the original. To be honest I even think it's kind of cool. To bad they don't use the whole riff and that they destroy the bass. :( But it feels good that someone still thinks the police rocks out in the big world. :)
What do you guys think?
Is there someone who knows any more songs out in the big world that sample the Police except that P diddy Biddy di Puff pappy... :)

Dear Everyone,
I don't know exactly what kind of agreement P. Diddy (or whatever) has with
Sting but he has sampled several Sting/Police songs and used them for himself
or acts that he produces: EBYT (I'll Be Missing You); Shape of My Heart (Carl
Thomas's "Emotional"); and now The Bed's Too Big... (Mary J. Blige's "Dance
For Me"). I don't think they had anything to do with Puff Daddy but 702 (on
the Motown label) sampled Voices Inside My Head for their "Steelo" back in
1996.
There may be others but that's all I can think of offhand.
Love,
Courtney
Re: New-ish Police Material
The white-label remix of Don't Stand So Close To Me is awfully good. Just
when you thought you were too old to dance, that remix will get you off your
feet in a hurry. Cheers,
Stephen S. Sayad

In Addition To The Sweatbox ,
Does anyone know why the Central Park Concert Was Never Broadcasted or
Released on video /dvd?
I must Have gone to Best Buy 10x To watch portions of The show & The Bit
Of Footage I Watched
Was Incredible "Sound , Quality Etc Etc "
It Would Be A shame Not To Have an Oppurtunity To Add That Show To Our
Sting Collections
Especially for those who could not be There
that was certainly one of the best sting shows I've ever attended
P.S
Anyone Going to The Olympics : )

Subject: Question about "The Sweatbox"
Dear Greg,
I came across your site, which I foud very
interesting! I am a big fan of Sting's score for
Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove", and have been
wondering whatever happened to "The Sweatbox", the
documentary his wife directed about Sting's journey
writing the songs for this feature. It was first set
for release in early 2001, then was supposed to be
featured on the Groove DVD, and now hasn't been heard
of since.
Could you tell me what the plans, or problems are with
this release? I'd love to see it soon!
Kind regards,
Olivier Mouroux
