(Gracias)
Had no idea 'how' he'd respond to that jewel.. but I hoped that the er Muse would handle all of that. Quite satisfying to hear that both of you enjoyed that, pretty-far-from a combo sound. It seems bitchin for any horn player, of whatever aims.
For that matter, had I magically heard That CD, via the grace of Cthulhu + Twilight Zone, at age 15ish? - I *really* do not know if I would have hung it up? or re-doubled [??] 'Awesome' - another murdered word. We still Had it! then.
I was never much interested in the pop songs of *yout, but noticed that many of my cohorts would try to emulate those sounds. I didn't - OK maybe Bunny Berrigan.. and can't get into the heads of those who thought they were .. [enough?] But was lucky enough to have a few cohorts; one to play duets with. That suggested I was maybe not all That odd. (Not that I would have been any less stubborn, if solo ;-)
Thanks for the fine words,
A.

On the pop songs of your yout
"A - you're adorable.. B - you're so beautiful.." cha..cha.. cha.. I don't remember where I heard this, but ... 95% of all pop songs are about one of these five themes: - I wish I was fucking you.
- Hey, you wanna fuck?
- I'm so glad I'm fucking you.
- I wish I was still fucking you.
- Fuck you.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

{Ssshhh!} - wanna destroy an entire cha cha line
I remember a wise old wag (or was it a hag?) reminding,
I like you! == I am Like You. And much follows, (even without the complications of not knowing self or other - nearly as well as it seemed.)
I think the whole jelloware imagination thing is made plain by those lugubrious lyrics to that ancient chestnut, On Top of Old Smoky. Hearing that at camp, as a tyke - and not knowing words like lugubrious or petulant to help, but acquainted with the blame-game - I distinctly remember wondering how this star-double-crossed pair thing came about. (And why were people singing songs! about this Mess?)
But today, being older and wiser as well as humble and all, I've at last figured out that the problem is -

I like the police
Actually, I mostly like early police - don't much care for the easy listening hits like every breath you suck or tea in the sahara. Do like synchronicity II, walking in your footsteps, most of ghosts, nearly everything before.
And I don't care for solo Sting at all.

Dunno.
Some of his later stuff is pretty good in small doses. There's some song of his about Bali (that I can not find anywhere I've looked) that I thought was very poinient especially after the 2002 bombing there.
Cheers, Scott. (Who agrees that the early/middle Police stuff was probably his best.)
