Sting, The Apollo, Manchester
Stuart Bailie, Record Mirror, 25 January 1986
I WAS ALL for getting snotty about Sting's past, and his current pretensions. I wanted to grouse about the megastar menopause. You know, when our affluent lumps of beefsteak decide they want 'artistic integrity'. They want to write poetry, climb mountains and sail around the world. They want to do solo projects. They usually go on to make total jerks of themselves.
Total word count of piece: 369
