After having watched the performance on the Grammys tonight, I had to re-join the list (I was a fairly active member circa 1992-94 but left to study in the UK and then lost interest when Sting's albums went further and further downhill) and see what the general consensus is. I'll bet this has been discussed to death here, but I can't see these three getting together only for an "oldies tour." I really hope there's a new album in the works. Incidentally, I live in Vancouver where the Police have recently made front-page news for holding rehearsals in the city. At any rate, I thought the performance was pretty good. Sting in particular appears to have regained a bit of his old spark, and his voice seemed to be in fine form. New songs, please! Hasn't it been a few years since Sting's last pop album (I didn't even hear his lute CD)? Perhaps he has a few new ones by now that could form the basis of a new CD. And his introduction that they're "back" would seem to indicate slightly more commitment than just a tour. Just hoping. Chris
