I saw Sting performing some of the songs on Joolz Holland. "And Yet" and a few other tracks. I've never been a HUGE fan of Sting, and when he talked to Holland about writing this album from the point of view of the shipbuilders...having never been one, I couldn't help but feel this was a tad cynical. Also, his voice sounded Irish rather than Geordie.
The man is beyond pretentious
