Thanks for sharing that article Kinetic Kid. Brings
back some memories. As it turned out Tom Morello took the picture of my
girlfriend and I with Sting at the Hall of Fame show. Tom just happened to
be standing nearby and my girlfriend thrusted the camera at him (not knowing who
he was) and asked him to take a pic. I remember the look on Tom's face
was kinda priceless. He obliged and turns out Tom is a great photographer!
Afterwards I noticed he and Sting shared some words and I made it my
mission to find out who Tom was. I didn't realize he was such a big Police
fan (as is Steven Tyler). My girlfriend apologized to Tom after I mentioned
to her that he was the dude from Audioslave. Tom was totally cool about it
and said, hey, I knew you were a big fan so no worries. Looks like the rest of
the band are huge fans of the Police as well. Incidentally, one
of the songs Sting refused to play at the Hall of Fame was I Fought The
Law, which was supposed to be the big closer. The Clash were inducted that
year too as you may recall.
