Sting Is Bored

2006-10-20 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 13 Comments
Aww, god bless him.

According to German daily Der Zeit ("The Times",) Sting is so bored by contemporary rock music that he's taken to singing sixteenth century English folk ballads. "Rock music has come to a standstill, it's not going forward anymore, it only bores me," he's quoted as saying.

Der Zeit claims the ex-Police singer has become enthralled by Elizabethan composer and lutenist John Dowland, this month releasing an album of Dowland covers on German label Deutsche Grammophon entitled Songs From The Labyrinth. The collection also features celebrated Bosnian lutenist Edin Karamazov.

I never really considered Sting's stuff to be rock music in the first place. More along the lines of instrumentally good pop music.

He gets bored by rock because it hasn't gone forward in teh past couple months, so he listens to a genre that's been extinct for 5 centuries.

Hmmmmm.

He obviously hasn't listened to any post rock, or anything not played on the radio for that matter.

Sting really is an old geezer. He just keeps getting blander and blander with age, until he's so boring that the only music left for him to enjoy isn't even from the last century!
