The Police get taken down a notch



remember last year? the police touring was something to be simultaneously excited and embarrassed about. it was ostentatious and obtuse, it was pop incarnate, and it was huge. HUGE!! the entire oakland coliseum stadium was FILLED. budweisers ran ya $10!! i know this because i was there being a dumb 37-yr-old who had wished forever that she hadn't missed seeing the Police when Synchronicity came out and sting was cool.

how funny that they were just here again and i had no idea. maybe because they are now playing the "Sleeptrain Pavilion" in "Concord" (suburban hell) follwing "Kathy Griffin."

too funny. and sad.
