Fields of Gold in Alnwick, Northumberland

I met Sting when I was in high school, but I didn't realize it was him and had to be told by friends years later. I do remember being blown away by his bass playing, and I still think he's better bass player and rock song writer than he is a balladeer.

I guess this sums it up

Still, I can't help loving this song because I associate it with leaving my homeland in Northumberland.


I wonder if Sting ever saw this article in the Onion. I know he has at least a bit of a sense of humor because of that elevator scene in Saturday Night Live and because he was wearing a bright red parachute suit when I met him... hmmm... maybe he didn't think that was funny, though...

FYI, Alnwick is a location in the first two Harry Potter movies.
