When is the hall of fame show coming on anyway?

Yeah, I can't wait to see the old band together again. I love pretty much everything Sting has done musically. Mercury Falling and Dream of the Blue Turtles being 2 of my favorite albums.

News from Sting.com :

"Three classic British acts The Police,The Clash, and Elvis Costello will join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their 2003 Inductees.
They will be joined by the Righteous Brothers, and Australian rockers AC/DC.

The 18th annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held March 10 in New York and an edited version of the ceremony will be televised on VH1 on 16 March at 9pm.

We can report that that there is a definite possibility of the Police performing a few songs at the ceremony.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said, "The Police broke
through in the late 1970's with some of the most influential music since the advent of punk. The typical power trio formula in which the guitar provides the main focus was inverted - letting drummer Stewart Copeland's intricate, polyrhythms steer the helm while Sting's bass grounds the beat and Andy Summers' phased guitar effects add texture. All members were highly accomplished musicians from the prog rock and fusion traditions: Summers played with Soft Machine and Kevin Ayers, Copeland was a member of Curved Air and Sting had played in various jazz fusion groups. The band took a pass on histrionics, and instead forged an understated virtuosity, burying their chops inside reggae grooves and intricate arrangements.

Between 1977 and 1983, the Police released five critically acclaimed albums and had numerous Top 10 hits. By 1985, they'd gone their separate ways with each member pursuing a solo career

i loved the police... they are one of my favorite bands... but sting as a solo artist is kinda hit & miss for me...
