I hope the Russians love their children too. Ugh.
Frankly, the Sting picture makes me want to just quit this whole club.
Instead, I am officially announcing a New Project:
A Music Clubber Looks At 50
or
Pat's Top Fifty Ever
or
I Am So Stupid For Trying This.
Coming sometime this spring. Assume later rather than sooner.

a THEme within
As luck would have it I have a lot of choices for "The" bands. But I keep thinking it would be great have a band called the The Oasises or The Isaac Hayes or The U2s or The Soundgardens.

Read and Discuss? What is the New 'Adult Contemporary'?
http://www.avclub.com/articles/what-makes-music-boring,65075/
I was listening to the Slate Culture Gabfest, and they were discussing this article, specifically:
The fine music critic Nitsuh Abebe of New York Magazine learned this the hard way when he recently wrote a piece arguing that Wilco and Feist have become modern equivalents of Sting and his “adult-contemporary” peers. Abebe’s essay drew a lot of criticism from those who interpreted “adult-contemporary” and the Sting comparison as cheap shots. “Adult-contemporary,” after all, is really just another way of saying “boring.” It is a descriptor that is now a criticism, just as Sting has gone from being the frontman of The Police to a go-to signifier of “meh.”
