He was actually a school teacher who taught English before quitting and working on his music full time. But make no mistake..one of the reasons he is gifted with words is that he is an avid reader. He consumes books like water. Thankfully he chose to use that gift to elevate the language in pop music and was one of the few to make it literate. I will always appreciate him for that.
@psychicwhoosh yes! he always prided himself on being 'intelligent' ,and so it was easy to identify with these guys back then-they literally had no competition,yet they were ambitious and so damn successful-y'just gotta hate these guys-haha...sting was lucky to have the other guys,as they were to have him...the bastards! hahaha!

Played this song along with the rest of Zenyatta over and over and over at my parents' shore place in OC, NJ in the summer of 1981..... My HEROES FOREVER.........................
If you're talking about the lead guitar in this video... I HIGHLY Doubt that it is a Gibson Les Paul Double-Cutaway... It appears to be a "Knock-Off." Look at the pick guard (wrong shape), the head stock (wrong shape), the pickups (not Humbuckers and the spacing is wrong) & the knobs (single set - they're double on the Les Paul). It is a guitar that "Resembles" a Gibson. I don't consider myself an "Authority," but I do own 3 Gibsons... so I do know a little bit about them.
i love this song, it sounds a bit funny, whats a do do do and a da da da, lets not forget i was born in 1980 it came out then, so i was born the year of the do do do and the da da da, lol....theyre excellent
the police How fuckin gay.....(Intentionpeace2), ur a fuckin joke do us all a favor and stop wasting the air u breath make sure u dont fall in the bathtub and drown. dicklicker
you cant have a name like africanbully these days-fuckfaces who think there funny and include the word in there name will out of nowhere have an orgasm instantly-do you want that on your conscience?
I love this song, this band and this video. Nothing much to say for me, but I just plain LOVE the Police. They always had good songs, you never usually here them on the radio... But, I agree. I love Stewart. He was so cute. I love him in the video... Only 3 more days until Sting's birthday. Oct 2nd. <3
"An articulate song about being inarticulate." Love it!
This was in Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out, Stewart got it all on that camera of his. :D
It's really fun to watch; it's watching this whole video from his perspective. It makes you feel like you were actually there, and you were him, shooting another Police video with Andy and Sting.
haha i love this tune, classic. Very creative video playing out un the snow and i love the red pants and red Hamer guitars. By the way where can i get that bass? it's a Hamer 8 string explorer blitz Z thing, it looks cool.

Summers is the man he is so underated it sickens me. I think he is very talented and far overlooked. To be Honest I think sting is the least talented by musical standards. Though he makes up for it by lyrical.
it was the early 80's before people wasted fortunes on Music Videos, like the over rated and over played JaY-Z and Lil Wayne. I doubt you appreciate art either
To this day I am an accomplished percussionist. I cannot replicate Copeland's drum patterns and Roxanne is impossible to play even by the best of the drummers in the world!
Sting once said that he made this song to show that simple things can have great power over things. The meaning being that a song as simple as this one can have a powerful effect on people
Poets, priests and politicians have words to thank for their positions. Words that scream for your submission. And no one's jammin their tradition. What a great line. Sting was such a good writer.
