This day in music history
January 9, 1967: a young Gordon Sumner, on holiday with his family, visits South Africa and takes a shit in a Johannesburg railway station. The resultant log grows into David John Matthews.
1982: Sumner (now going by "Sting") writes a song whose early demo is titled "every dump you take."
1985: Matthews moves to Virginia and starts a band, named after himself.
1990: The two musicians pass one another, unknowingly, in the Charlotte, NC airport. But both get a strange frisson at the back of their necks in recognition of their shared connection.
Synchronicity.

heh
BTW that album was originally supposed to be straight-ahead one-drop reggae, with the title being Skankronicity.
The label suits (all of whom were Carl Jung superfans) made them change it to Synchronicity.
