Great Songs: Roxanne 3. Good Songs: Walking On The Moon, Bed's Too Big 4. Listenable songs : Spirits, Driven to Tears, Invisible Sun...ahhh, maybe no others... too depressing to continue 5. During the Synchronicity era I got very tired of hearing people speak of Sting's intelligence. He is probably quite intelligent, but it doesn't come across in his songs, because they are lowest-common denominator pop tunes, with a few mid-brow references thrown in. 6 Rock Goes To College concert ca. 1978 video amusing historically, band still only 65% good 7 Saw the AMNESTY INT'L concert in Atlanta ca. 1986, complete by-the-books re-creation of studio greatest hits, cocaine boring superstar flouncing 8. Sting solo Blue Turtles tour waste of time and talent, only remembered incredible Kenny Kirkland solo 9 Liked Ten Summoner's Tales video of the making of the album; songs will be awarded 3 out of 10 stars 10. Really liked Sting and Andy's autobios... 11. Wished Stuart's film was better...5 out of 10 stars 12. MTV reunion Roxanne was mildly fun, but also exactly the problem: PREDICTABLE. Despite reports of them 'extending/re-working' olden goldies, I would not see them unless for free thanks for allowing me my unrequested two cents worth on a slow Sunday t ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V10 #126 ********************************
