    This man is deeply intellectual, deeply sensitive, deeply thoughtful, deeply creative, deeply artictic. Today he is over 70, I saw him in Concert "My songs" in Hamburg last November. He comes across youthful, you can see that his music gives him joy and energy. He needs touring, he needs to be playing on stage. It is what he is. He is such an inspiration. The human faults he might have like any human - invisible to me.

    This was at my university…UW-Madison WI. And it’s not in 2006, the actual date was 4/15/2005. Earlier on the same day Sting played his Broken Music concert at our Kohl’s Center. He was Phenomenal!!! It was our 7 y.o. son’s very first concert! We all had a blast and I have followed Sting ever since, culminating in a magical musical experience in Las Vegas just this past 4/01 (April Fools day!) & 4/02/23! He is such a gifted talent and a truly Nice guy💗✨💖🌟💝💫❣️🕊☮️

    He took a hallucinogen which necessarily changed his connection with reality. After his chemical induced psychosis, he retained some of the experience as if it had actually happened and because he thought it meant something more than a dream. If you woke up every morning and acted on part of anything you had dreamed, what state might your life be in?

    • @AndreasDelleske
      @AndreasDelleske ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A life with a state of mind that does not go away is hell, pretty much.

      There is nothing to achieve. Just see, now.

    • @liamfarris5360
      @liamfarris5360 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, does he look like his life fell apart afterwards? I'm not one for promoting the use of hallucinogens, due to the well-known pitfalls, but it obviously helped him see and realise some deep things about himself and his life. And it was under supervision, so it wasn't like he did it willy-nilly "experimenting" on his own. Sometimes dreams throw reality into relief for us, so that we can better appreciate its nature. If i have a really strong one, i take note of what it's trying to tell me.

    • @LysanderLH
      @LysanderLH ปีที่แล้ว

      @@liamfarris5360 can you tell when you are awake and lucid and when you are hallucinating because you took a hallucinogenic chemical? would you know that after the effects had worn off, that you had hallucinated and that you no longer were! he couldn’t and that is known as psychosis (drug induced in this case). If you have not taken an hallucinogenic drug and you experience psychosis, you are psychotic. rhetoric and beliefs don’t change that.

    I read the book which was interesting, referencing music history from a personal and illuminating perspective. This video continues the theme of the cult of Sting, armed, now, with many more personal revelations to feed the already smitten and propose further his potential divinity, purposefully building on his personal brand to the benefit of his ego. Sting refers to his perceived arrogance on several occasions in the book, this video shows just how arrogant he is to invite an audience to talk about him.

    A friend of mine at school told me that he got the nickname Sting from when he had a job as a bus conductor, and he spent most of his time at the back of the bus, although i think that is probably made up. Anyway, i do not like him. He seems so full of shit, false modesty, and when did he last make any interesting, or relevant, music? About a hundred years ago. I quite liked Fields of Barley, but cannot remember anything else. The Police, i loved at the time, but after the first two lps, just seemed to be repeating themselves.

    What is Sting doing there? The reading of the excerpt should tell you everything you need to know. Example: "Did I really ELECT to do this?" 🤣😂 Really boring writing (that tries too hard to sound intellectual!), a really boring and self-important delivery. An utter yawn fest!
    He might be a good musician but he is not a writer. He would not be published if his name was not Sting.
    Interesting to observe his pulpit preachery.

      Funny how one “should know” a judgment about ego and love, when all Sting does is reveal where he’s from and says he tries to be as conscious as he can be.
      Is he sincere?
      Well at least he can fake it.
      Would he be as successful without Stewart?
      Probably not as their 7 year relationship made The Police the biggest band in the planet.
      Is he a great songwriter?
      Even the previous commentator doesn’t really challenge that.
      Does he have an ego?
      Yes, clearly: and that seems to be the crux of the above comment, as in how dare he be self-aware of his impact and actually quite bright about what’s going on.
      In a way this reminds one of how Prince Harry’s treatment. As in: how dare he.
      Well as Wayne Shorter’s definition of jazz was: “I dare you”, I wish Sting would do something extraordinary again soon.
      Something that’s deeply transformational. Good music is a true medicine.

      I do agree ... There isn't a lot of good music being created today and hopefully we Both can witness some sort of return to to the rudaments of musical structure...that once existed and appeals to everyone. These fundamental principles, if melody, harmony and contra-postal expression s we're the roots of expression , freedom and enlightenment . 😏The music industry hasn't displayed a lot musical diversity lately ( last 25 yrs or so... .. Now..🤔.... if If you recall I said honesty in a DESIRE. ....to connect... Some Artist ( after getting their head inflated by popularity) would never "lower" them selves by going to a school or university to speak about what felt like to him or her.. A " near death experience" . As he explained, towhat he felt was an experience, at that time to reawaken his own self of unwarness of how self absorbed he became 😔... Now , after THAT experience wanting to get back to "HIS" roots of humble and poor and dysfunctional family beginnings ...with divorce and inflated ego, Now observing with. " FRESH" eyes so to speak ...So writing a book about his personal experiences in a cathartic way ( I think)released any resentment and blame he carried in tow , in his own way ( I think) to create a space for growth for himself ( for his many years of music production, allowed him a platform to, SPEAK . ..and( to him I beleive reveal a new path of creativity. .🤔........but to your point, it would be very hard to be a Beatles, Micheal Jackson, Elvis, Prince Ect., making tons of money ..😉...and not get a big self absorbed ego ( I think only a handful remain " humble" if any) particularly if wealth, fame, and popularity was achieved at a very young age ...for I believe I would have had just as big of an ego ...if not bigger..😐😉!!! .... I do however agree..🤔...good music IS true Medicine💖.....But GREAT Music , people and Musicians are Unifyng ...and Sting, is Great a unifer. ..what ever the platform...I love to hear his life time experience..of almost, if not more than 60 yrs in the entertainment business of being Poet, Writer, a Musician, Actor, [to mention a few,]
      ] rubbing elbows with the BEST...in all of those fields...for decades!!! ...60 pluss yrs gives him the dare.. ( in my opinion...💖🙏✌️😊....
