They never tried to please masses of people, and I love it that they put the landmark at exact that place: You can expect Roxanne, but they presented it just not in the way you would expect. Still, the energy-typical for the Police- was there. And that is a lot more than I expected.

I loved it! I thought the arrangement was fab. This is so not going to be some oldies act tour. These blokes have got the right idea.

Well, this co-worker gave me tickets to see Etta James...guess what? I was just on my way back from the staff lounge and he asked if I am going to see The Police in LA. I said no and whimpered about taxes and my alternator, etc...he said...I have an extra ticket for you for your birthday! Then he asked when my b-day is! Not until september!

I am very excited!

BTFLCHLD · #37 02-28-2007, 11:51 AM
