hmmmmm....can't see why Sting would go for it, not like he needs the other two, or the money.
Back in 1977/78 I was in the Search and Rescue branch of the RAF and living in Plymouth, (UK) and one Sunday night we were bored so looked in the local paper for something to do....one of the lads piped up, "Hey, there's some band playing at the Ark Royal pub tonight, The Police...anyone ever heard of em?" "No" was the reply, so we just decided to go to the local boozer for a few quiet pints instead
...the rest, as they say, is history.
A few weeks later another somewhat unknown band was in concert at a local nightclub called "Castaways"...we decided to make the effort for that one. The band was called The Clash!!! (they had Richard Hell and the Voidoids and Stinky Toys as support bands as well)
