I headed over to the Hollywood Bowl last night in the Accord to see The Police. I saw them perform a few times in the ‘80s (I was in kindergarten then) when the lads in the band had a lot more energy. Maybe I’ve been listening to way too much DMX and TI, and maybe it’s due to the band being in the twilight of its career, but during last night’s performance, I repeatedly thought, “Wow - another VH1 version of a great song.” By VH1 I mean: just OK, not quite lame. I had a similar experience driving the Accord...

One could argue that that is what the Accord is built for.

I saw The Verve Pipe here in Great Falls at a local bar. Not even a cover charge. Still a great band but wow, talk about rock bottom.

estreka - For a band that's been around 17 years, it's not terrible. They might even like being out of the limelight, who knows...=)

Thou shalt not blaspheme against Stewart Copeland. I smite thee!

Thanks for your comments.
altimadude: Yup. It's pleasant, but boring. 400K people like it every year.
estreka: $75 bucks with the Ticketmaster ripoff surcharge; walkups paid scalpers the same.
tryan: Yeah, 17 yrs, but so has U2, and although they went VH1 with A Beautiful Day, they came back with Atomic Bomb.
mrfusion: Stewart was the best part of the show. Try Msg in a Box (set). All his songs are on there.
Regards,
Snake Doc
