"Roxanne" 2007: A Jazz Odyssey

So, we broke even. Transposed down to suit Sting's vocal cords, spaced out for the benefit of the young, drug-loving generation next, The Police celebrated the 30th anniversary of "Roxanne" by playing "Roxanne."

Interesting to see how involved Fox News has been in the Police reunion rumor mill. Guess Rupert's a fan? Today they ran a piece mentioning Sting, Andy, and Stewart's upcoming rehearsals in Vancouver and declaring (without official confirmation) that the... CONTINUE READING WHO FITS THE BILL?»
