I went and saw The Police at Fenway on Saturday with some friends. It was a pretty good time, despite the fact that we were pretty much standing in a puddle. There was a goofy guy in front of us who was just this side of moshing the way he was dancing around. It was kinda funny to watch.

Anyhow, I'm not a "fan" of theirs, but I do know some of The Police's material and I like it. The opening band was Fiction Plane and it turns out their front man is Sting's kid. I was woefully uninformed and wondered what the deal was with the Sting look-alike on stage. Fortunately I didn't make an ass out of myself by saying something before finding out. Guess the cat's out of the bag now.

I'm a little too tired to turn this into a quality review so I'll end with this: They were great. They were absolutely on, playing at a level that people half their age struggle to reach. The improv that they pulled in some of their songs was a lot of fun, too. And, if all else fails to please, there is no place in the world like Fenway Park.
