Just posted this on my blog and thought I'd share here.



Quote:

Stock in legendary 80s rock band The Police rose today on rumors about possible reunion. Sting?s keynote address at PoliceWorld on Tuesday in San Fransisco was filled with a number of expected announcements: updates to policeLife, a preview of the upcoming Police OS X 10.5, as well as a roundup of information about the policePod and the retail Police Stores were, in many ways, par for the course.



While many analysts were expecting The Band to release the widely anticipated policePhone and possibly its previously announced policeTV, the announcement that the band was getting back together for a US and UK tour (to be dubbed the U-SUK Tour) came as a shock to many fans and reporters in attendance.



Police stock rose 5% upon the news, but promptly fell 27% only hours later when various Police rumor sites (PoliceRumors.com, policePodlounge.com, PoliceInsider.com and PoliceNN.com) began to complain of omissions in The Police?s new products.







Anyone want to make a prediction on how long it'll be before Sting tries to hit Stewart Copland in the head with his bass?

    I left this out:



    The Police ignited the punk/reggae/jazz/pop fusion in the 1970s with Outlandos d?Amour and reinvented the music scene in the 1980s with the Zenyatta Mondatta, Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity. The Police are committed to bringing the best music listening experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative musical, lyrical and live offerings.

    That's right, most of the kids today never even heard of the Police.

    Nonsense!





    I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom

    I kill conversation as I walk into the room

    I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban

    I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man

    Meh. Reunion shows. I did see X and they were like they were preserved in a time capsule. I don't know if Jett Jett was a reunion show, but again she was still rockin'. But a lot of these are hit and miss. Or just plain stupid.

    Huh! I've heard of them, although I can't remember a single track from them. When I think of 80's music, the only band that stands out for me are 'The Call'. Even still, their music sounds dated.
