Sting and / or celebs

Posted by: Martin D on 24 January 2001

Just read in a mag that sting lives in Salisbury. Anyone from the factory popped round with a few NAP 500's?

For that matter any known celeb users ?

Quote "p.s. I would have thought that Sting would use Roksan"

...Why would Sting need a sound-system when He can just invite artists round for a live performance !

EG. After Madonnas wedding,the happy couple went to stay with Sting at his place....somewhere near Salisbury ....

(all right,so,if I invite Madonna round......Nah....cant really see this happening)

A Famous Lecturer would use a Quad...

Steve Redgrave would be up a Creek...

The Queen would use Phillips...

Billy Graham would be on a Mission...

Nicki Lauda keeps turning his up...

I think I'd better stop now.

In an interview I heard or read, can't remember which, Sting said that he does not listen to music. I believe he was meant to be taken seriously that he does not sit around the Castle or one of the two apartment/condos he has in NYC and listen to a "stereo" - Since it is very nearly impossible to avoid any exposure, especially to popular music these days, that must explain why his current album is a mix of Hip-Hop, House Music, Techno, Western etc. He just sort of picks these things up while waiting in line for his burger at McDonalds and says: "Ah, that's a good one, that" You know when you listen to "Brand New Day" - don't you think of going out and having a big Mac? - or at least buying a Compaq computer....?

I'm sorry, I really like the album, but sometimes Sting is just a little too much to take.
