Hi Mark, Except the quoted remark I would share everything Sting said in that interview. Possibly someone can translate it?

I have a bad cold at the moment maybe extreme HIPness is also a viral infection. So I will let the "Maestro" Sting have the last words taken from an interview online at about his Dowland project... http://www.stern.de/unterhaltung/musik/570529.html?q=sting "Fakt ist, dass wir derzeit am Ende des Pop stehen, der dauernd monotoner wird. Der Rock liegt im Sterben." my attempt at a translation.... "It is a fact, that we are at the end of pop music, that is becoming more monotone. Rock music lies dieing" A strange comment when you consider that at least here in Germany innovative Rock albums such as the the latest CD's by Muse (who have also claimed to be infleunced by renaissance music) or Billy Talent went straight to the top of the charts, but he has told us the the "truth" so I am sure he knows what he is doing with his archlute :) Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
