I think the KLF summed it up best with their 1989 smash hit...
YouTube - KLF - Kylie Said To Jason
When they said: 'I'm gonna leave this party now...'
Pop was dead, the underground had arrived.

Hey Bubba ![Mad](images/smilies/mad.gif)
Enough of this slagging off Sting........I happen to have quite an interest in him staying favourably in the public eye due a slight 'look a like' issue.......

PS You should see the reaction my covers band gets when we start playing Roxanne or Every Breath you Take.... priceless

Luckily the other vocalist has a gruff deeper voice so the contrast can work well.....!!
