When Elvis Costello's first record was released in 1977, his bristling cynicism and anger linked him with the punk and new wave explosion. A cursory listen to My Aim Is True proves that the main connection that Costello had with the punks was his unbridled passion.

Nominally, the Police were punk rock, but that's only in the loosest sense of the term. The trio's nervous, reggae-injected pop/rock was punky, but it wasn't necessarily punk. All three members were considerably more technically proficient than the average punk or new wave band.

Best Thing I Did Last Summer

was to see The Police in concert. I've seen Andy Summers play before, years ago, in a really intimate venue somewhere in San Jose... up until that time I'd never seen a man make love to a guitar before. It was amazing, the things he could do. But one way or another I'd always missed the trio in concert.

They did not disappoint. Each song was better than the last. If there were a soundtrack to my life, they would definitely be it.

See them before they leave the states

It looks like the Police are heading across the ocean to continue their tour at the end of November. If their own comments on the tour are accurate this may be your last chance to see them perform live. I've been a fan for a long time, and I'd love to see them if I hadn't already missed the shows in my area.

Now that's an interesting take on how to rate a band

Sure, maybe now they aren't the hottest in concert but we're talking about The Police here.

Heck I think they'd love a Vegas musical thought, are you knocking LOVE?? I thought the skids was when opening at Circus Circus in Laughlin, NV followed by the Allegheny County Fair.

Vulcan wisdom teaches that wanting...

...is sometimes better than having. This has also been put "be careful what you ask for, you just might get it." The Police had their moment in the sun, a long time ago. After a re-union tour like this, can a Vegas musical be far behind?
