Really? I thought he's always bit his nails, I've seen him do it before at other interviews. ----- Original Message ----- From: "foxie" <forfoxie@yahoo.com> To: <police@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 9:03 AM Subject: Re: [Police] press conference - tidbits

Sting, 2/12/07 Press Conference

Agree with you on all points, Rich. Particularly happy to be so wrong about it ever happening. One other observation I'd add to that is that I just wonder if Sting's having any second thoughts. Not that he can at this point ... the machine is in motion, but I've never seen him bite his nails the way he was! Yes, they have a lot of work to do in a few short months, but there's proof positive in how tight Roxanne was. I take it that was their main focus in Vancouver. Still in a state of shock and awe! : ) Michelle

Well, gang...let me begin by saying that I am still in shock over all this. For many years, we have spoke of reunion here, and while most of us pined for it, all of us probably thought it would never happen. Man, were we all off base! I have never been so happy to have been wrong in my life!!!!
Here's some thoughts/impressions that I took from yesterday:
* what I found most interesting was Sting's comments regarding the reunion, that he woke up one day with an "overwhelming feeling of nostalgia", and decided to reunite. I almost fell over when I heard him say that, because for AT LEAST the past decade, I have heard him tell one and all that he is not nostalgic, that he is not a fan of nostalgia, etc.
* Equally fascinating was his admission that he has been "running away" from his Police past for a very long time. (I felt like I was a fly on a wall at a therapy session!)
* Another "Stinger" - that the the tour will be "raw", comprising of just the 3 guys. I believe (although my recollection is not 100% certain) he also mentioned that they would play material that they have never played before (like "Voices"!)
* Tour Length - sounds like it will stretch on until 2008
* New material - question asked twice, dodged twice!
* A final "Stinger" - that they still "have a lot of work to do" before the tour starts in late May. I'd tend to agree with that...while Stewart and Sting are in fine form, I hate to admit it but Andy does seem to need a bit more rehearsal time. ("It's in C sharp minor, Andy!") But in his defense...he has not played these songs/this "style" for a long time, and I am sure that he will sound FANTASTIC when the tour kicks off.
Wake Me Up, I Must Be Dreaming. Is this heaven? Rich
