[PPP] The Police

I bet none of you knew that I was a fan of The Police, or just how much I have always enjoyed their music. It is really good to hear that they are back with a new album and will be touring again. My only hope now is that they stop somewhere near my home on their world wide tour.

The very first song of theirs that I remember hearing from them and immediately fell in love with was "Roxanne" from their album "Outlandos d'Amour" that was released in 1978. It was after I heard this song, which was long after 1978, that I started trying to get a chance to listen to other music by The Police. I soon discovered that I would love a lot of their other songs as well, and their music would become very memorable for me. Many of their songs still hold memories captive in my mind. They are the type of songs for me that stay with you as part of the memory. They are the type of song that you will hear as you are driving down the road and immediately be transported back to a time and place you had thought was forgotten.

I have very fond memories of school dances where the songs "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" or "Every Breath You Take" would be played. These songs were very moving and romantic. Also, I can ever forget the hours I spent trying to decipher the hidden meaning of "Message In A Bottle". To this day, I am sure that this one song can mean many different things to many different people. Do you remember the song "Don't Stand So Close To me"? Although I could have never related to that song on a personal level, it told a wonderful yet frightening story, and was always one of my favorites.

There are many other songs The Police recorded that I will never forget for one reason or another. They are truly legendary in my mind. For this reason I am beside myself with anticipation as I hopefully pray and wait for a tour date near my home. What a thrill it would be to finally see them in concert! With any luck I might just see them arrive near enough to here for me to be able to drive to their concert.

In the mean time I will be attempting to get a copy of the latest Police CD. Here are the songs that will be on it.

I have tickets to the June 10 show in Denver. My brother and I are driving up from OKC to see them. I am pumped. My brother saw them in concert when we were kids, but I was too young for my parents to let me go. I have been looking forward to a reunion tour for years. I am so Glad Sting finally got his ass in gear.
