sting's autobiography....
i just finished reading sting's autobiography (in case you didn't notice, i love autobiographies).
the book shows sting to be the intelligent and well-spoken person we all know he is...i can almost hear his voice telling the stories. very insightful about the man and the musician. my only complaint is that it pretty much stops just as the police are making it big. i wouldn't necessarily want to see any of what is there eliminated - it's just that it would seem that the years since 1977 warrant more than a handful of pages.
in one respect though, it makes you wonder...is the tacit message that the life of a successful pop star is not as interesting as the life of a struggling musician...
more than likely, he's saving it for a sequel - if so, i can't wait...
merci beaucoup, scandanavian demigoddess

You're welcome. I am reading the very same book myself and finding it utterly fascinating.

I'll have to read this, thanks for the tip, Mike.
I lost interest in Sting musically after he went solo. His solo work (to me) always seems more about image than substance. I am a big fan of his stands on social issues and the environment, though.
I've seen Sting live. And I've got to say he was awesome. It was a solo concert years ago and he blues and jazzed it up. Terrific performance!
I bet my hubby would like to read it. I may go out and buy it for him :-)

I checked the book out at the library sometime last year. I enjoyed it so much that I finished it in two days.
I agree with you, Mike, that I would have enjoyed reading about his life after The Police. Nevertheless, it was so intriguing to learn about his life.
I enjoy biographies/autobiographies, too.
Take care and keep in touch!
