Didya know that The Police are talking about a reunion tour? COOL!
I'm listening to Sirius sat radio and they are saying that nothing is def but they are all agreeable and setting up plans to do it. How cool would that be?

24. Sting and Stuart (the drummer) had alot of problems
getting along. I think the guitarist (Andy?) got stuck between them alot.
In the Behind the Music I saw on them it said that they all get along great now and are good friends BUT that
at Stings wedding to Trudy they got up on stage together and did a few songs and after the 3rd song they almost killed eachother.

Maybe now that they are older they have mellowed some.

25. Sting and Stewart both have ginormous egos, but they are undeniably
talented. Stewart's drumming is just amazing. And yeah, it did seem like Andy always got stuck in the middle.

6. Oh boy, more of Sting singing like he has a strangulated hernia.
I like some of his solo stuff, but with the Police? Nah.

26. Oh well, more tickets for me. I think his solo stuff is okay, and a few songs
are brilliant, but the Police were freaking awesome. Synchronicity was overblown IMHO, but still a good album, but the earlier albums are still some of my favorites.

12. Is that the one where they beat the shit out of each other on stage?
That's my favorite Police show. Or should I say shows, seeing as it happened quite a few times! :D

13. They should have a big brawl with the Kinks
You know, Ray Davies babysat me once. Or was that the girl next door with the gap in her teeth?

17. Ray and Dave were famous for fighting on stage
I only saw them in their peaceful older days (the late 70's and early 80's)

22. My brother saw them at the Whiskey (LA) 1969
had a chat with Ray after the show at the hotel and says Ray was quite sober by then but swears Ray and Dave were both lit around show time. Apparently they used to drink a lot. Ray has been a vegetarian for a long time and took care of himself in the later years. Dave did not. I saw Dave at Harlows (Sacramento) in 2000 (or 2001 I don't recall). He was almost obese. Dave had a stroke.

14. If they tour, I'm going regardless of ticket price
I'd love to see them live, since I didn't get to in their heyday.

I know Stewart Copeland floated the idea several years ago of reuniting and going on tour and giving the bulk of the proceeds to charity. Hope it comes through.
