If You See Kaye - The Police (apologies to NWA)

Greetings readers,

Wednesday night, I saw The Police at the Key Arena. They rocked the second half of the show. They are great musicians. Stings voice is amazing. However, during the first half of the show, I did have a few thoughts.

Please warm up before you take the stage. Sure I had the pleasure of only paying $60 per seat to sit in the second to last row at the back of the arena, but for that, I figure I didn't pay to see a rehearsal.

Next time one of my favorite bands decides to tour after a 25 year hiatus, I should just remember their glory days and save the cash.

Do you think they broke up because they can't agree on a tempo?

Do you think they broke up because Stuart and Andy forget to sing backup and only sometimes remember to lip synch when they are supposed to?

My dick is so big, its bigger than Stings ego... (see previous post titled Amen Corner)

Is mid sixties too old to rock?

Is it ironic or painful that the combined age of the three performers onstage is something like 198 and they're singing "de doo doo doo, de da da da"...

Seriously, with people paying $300 a seat, you couldn't afford some new graphics for the big screen, we just got to look at the Synchronicity paint swipes over and over again? OOOhhh, they move now. Cool. My 8 year old did cooler animation on his Italy report. Don't they have powerpoint in the french countryside?

Who hires their son's band that nobody has heard of as the opening act on the biggest tour of the year? Thats good Sting you whore- keep that cash in the family.

Are these songs just too hard to play live?

That being said, I loved the second half of the show.

Gin Hahn,

PS- Paris, I know you are waiting for my wrath, but really, I think you've suffered enough. I'll take a pass this time.
