What country is he talking about though?

Sting owns a Jacobian castle in Wiltshire, which he calls "Lake House", where he records his albums, as well as a place in London, an apartment in New York, a place on the beach in Malibu, California, and a Renaissance Florentine Villa called "Palagio" in Figline Valdarno, Tuscany, Italy.
I assume they mean Jacobean there...

Why in god's name did ILM not pre-cover this?

Shaggy is awesome. Y’all can hate Sting all you want to, but Shaggy is one of the great dancehall artists who keeps releasing good stuff year after year.

i like the way Spotify displays the Sting/Shaggy album because i can imagine "with Shaggy" is part of the song titles pic.twitter.com/cfWqIp1BCq— Al Shipley (@alshipley) April 20, 2018

Sting is one of those dudes we should have managed to laugh out of existence but here we are

Sting should just sell signature cologne or wine decanters at this point
― brimstead, Saturday, 21 April 2018 16:09 (six years ago) link
was in a Barnes & Noble this weekend and apparently they sell vinyl now. top shelf had 3 Sting albums, Dream of the Blue Turtles, The Soul Cages, & the Shaggy one. they were TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS EACH. the new one, fine, whatever, but do people really not know that you can get old Sting albums for a buck ?

I really need to hear that song about fortresses and moats around emotions on vinyl

Sting, Phil Collins, and Eric Clapton seem like the holy trinity of ridiculed 80s pop stars.

Somewhere Bryan Adams is crying.

xp People have been saying that about Phil Collins on here lately... I honestly didn't know he was so widely disliked/ridiculed. I can't recall ever encountering too many strongly negative Phil Collins opinions.

Phil is one of the greats but slothfingers and stink should go live under a rock and not bother anybody

^ OTM. I have little use for Sting after Synchronicity, and for Clapton after the Derek and the Dominos album.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 23 October 2018 21:25 (five years ago) link
first thing I ever knew of Phil Collins was his appearance on South Park which in retrospect was pretty far off the mark - has Phil ever acted like that? maybe cuz of the thread and all but Sting would've been a much better fit for that role
― frogbs, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 21:56 (five years ago) link
Clapton is the most risible, because, yeah, he didn't have much going for him post Derek and the Dominoes, then, talent squandered sucked extra hard in the '80s, then really topped off the decade by getting worse. Iirc, he got better, but the decades of damage had been done.
Sting has been hit or miss, and mostly miss, since the Police. But the run of Nothing Like the Sun to Soul Cages to Ten Sumners (almost wrote Ten Slumbers) is solid.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 22:05 (five years ago) link
And of course, Sting's appearances on No Jacket Required offer a nice assist to Phil.
Btw, I saw that Sting/Peter Gabriel tour, and I was surprised to see Sting playing bass for a bunch of the Gabriel set. He seemed to be having a lot of fun just being a musician in the background.

I still have a soft spot for Blue Turtles since that CD was playing all the time in the house when I grew up. Guessing I'd cringe a lot if I heard it now but some of the lyrics meant a lot to me when I was 12. That said the "Bring on the Night" live double disc is probably Sting's peak - one of the few live albums from a superstar act that actually shows how deep his catalogue really was, making a conscious decision to avoid nearly all his hits.

I think a good way to describe Sting is "pouty and horny"
