Sting=whore

[muchacho]

I just saw a commercial for American Express featuring Sting.

Let's see that's AmEx, Jaguar, Victoria's Secret, AOL....

Jeeez what a freakin has-been.....

[DS1]

1. I might have used "sell-out" instead of whore

but what do I know? :shrug:

[muchacho]

2. okay

has-been sell-out whore.

[PragMantisT]

3. When will he be hard up enough

to get back together with Andy and Stewart.

Of course, they may not be strong enough to redeem him.

4. I'm ambivalent

I guess Pete Townsend got it right, around the time Neil Young wrote "This Note's For You" as a slap at Clapton doing Michelob commercials. Townsend said something like, "It's my song, I'll do what the f*ck I want with it."

I'm just happy that no Police songs have been used. Yet. I think.

[Nevernose]

5. The Police were so damned political

And left-wing, too, I might add.

After solo Sting, the music started sucking, and any serious statements by Sting had long since vanished into the world of corporate media-whoredom...

6. I remember reading some years ago where he said he'd quit before

he got as old as Mick Jagger...now bear in mind this was at least 15 years ago when Mick was only 73 years old ;). If I remember correctly he was quite derisive of how dear old Mick looked prancing around on stage...Which leads me to ask why Stin' continues to find it necessary to take his shirt off when he performs?? To give the biddies in the crowd yet more hot flashes?? :eyes:

I remember when he was good...In the Police...Most of his solo stuff is just self-serving, self-important bollocks...

The dude's ego is just huuuuuuuuuuuuuge...

What a wanker....

7. sad thing is hes a tantric whore...

he can keep on going forever... so dont expect him to stop anytime soon... he will continue to sell himself out.

12. He's also disavowed his tantric pose too....

..he said he was just bullshitting....Like anyone give a shit one way or another...

The only question is when does he become a permanent lounge act in Vegas in the Tom Jones mode??

14. I KNEW IT!!!

Nobody can hold a hard-on for four hours.

No matter how much Viagra is involved.

8. Sting still has more talent in his...

...little finger than any pop poseur coming down the pike today!

The real whore is Phil Collins.

[truebrit71]

10. Yup..Phil Collins destroyed Genesis, just as Sting destroyed The Police

..the REAL proof of a musicians whoredom is when they are battling it out for an Oscar statue...

[LTR]

11. The sad thing is...

...I still like Sting's music.

Is that bad?

[AliceWonderland]

15. See, that's my thing... I don't like his music anymore

It all sounds like it's getting ready to be marketed to commercials on the fasttrack. I hear a song from the new album and think, yeah, the guy was thinking of a Jag commercial when he wrote that one.

And I speak of someone who loved Sting's work, and who has a special place in her heart for Soul Cages.

[CanuckAmok]

9. I whish we'd stop insulting 'whores'...

comparing nthem to Sting, and the RW media. That's just not nice.

[democracyindanger]

13. Never mind

Joke redundancy. My apologies. Move along.

[OneBlueSky]

16. that's one of the things I admire about Springsteen . . .

despite countless offers, he has never lent his music to commercial purposes . . . the Beatles wouldn't either, but their songs started getting used after MJ outbid McCartney for their catalog . . .
