Well, with the Police now reunited and on their world tour, there is a lot of excitement among the group's fans. This is especially true with the release of the new Police cd containing so many of their greatest hits. Personally, I will always remain a fan of Roxanne, the song that introduced almost all of us to the group.

I was fortunate enough to get to see the group on their final tour before the big break-up back during my college years. A group of us made the drive from our college up to Chicago to see them. It was, as I recall, a wild night for the bunch of us. All in our early 20s, we were old enough to drink and so indulged a bit during the concert. However, one thing stood out from the other concerts for other bands that I had been to before -- this one was much more about the music than it was about the lights, video, and special effects emphasized by so many other bands. That made this concert very special -- the emphasis was not on showmanship as much as it was on artistry.

I'm looking forward to getting the new Police cd soon, and hope to be able to score some tickets for the concert here in Houston at the last minute (my wife was in the hospital when they went on sale -- and I do have my priorities straight). But even if I don't, the CD alone will feed my love of the band, Roxanne, and the rest of their wonderful music.
