My Father-In-Law was watching some Channel 13 "beg-a-thon", as my Mother calls it .

Chris Bode, the Trumpet player who used to front the House Band of the "Caroline Rhea Show" and an accomplished Musician in his own right, had some show on as a "fund-raiser" for PBS...you can buy it on DVD; send in your donation, etc etc...
So, I'm watching it....and all of a sudden WHO SHOWS UP?
STING - y'know - the guy from "The Police"??
THE POLICE, for God's sake!!
oh yeah...guess what he sang???
"MY FUNNY VALENTINE"!!!!
"My Funny Valentiiiiiiine...
Sweet, Funny Valentiiiiine...
You make me smiiiiiiiile with your heaaaaaaaaarrrt..."




What the HELL HAPPENED?!
y'know, Steve Perry hit it RIGHT ON THE MONEY when he said he didn't want to turn into "Frank Sinatra"...

It was "Sting de-fanged"....oh my GOD the humanity!!
I don't even know if I'm making any sense, but...do you get what I'm trying to say, here??
Do they think they have to "give up" what they're known for, and just slip into "Grandma's Music" because they've reached a "certain age"??
I HOPE NOT!!!
