Pam and Linda -
Thanks for the thoughtful answer. A lot of these guys are probably
jealous of Sting (and me) because we, unlike them are 1) handsome
(people have told me that I look like a young Tom Sizemore, but more
ripped) and 2) wealthy. It's a shame when people judge you for what
you have or dont have. Why cant we all just treat each other as
equals?
Someone mentioned the Police. I know this was Sting's first group.
What's the best stuff to check out by them? Do they have a hits
collection, or is there one album that stands above the rest?
Gene
