“Rock music has come to a standstill,” says Sting. “It’s not going forward anymore. It only bores me.” This from the world’s most boring entertainer, who’s now taken up playing the lute and singing the melancholic Elizabethan ballads of John Dowland, who died in 1626. Hey, Sting, “standstill” and “not going forward” are pretty much synonymous. Even your quotes are boring. “Forty years ago it was my dream to break out of Newcastle and never be poor again,” he told a German magazine willing to listen to him. “I’m very privileged. I’m a successful musician, live in a beautiful house, and have a wonderful family.” Oh, shut up. Make your next album 45 minutes of silence. It’s where you’re heading. (Source)
