[kj] Pete Townshend, musical scholar and taxonomist: "The Police are punk ro

[Christof hamille]

I liked the Police.  I even went to the last tour in 83 (?).  I enjoyed all 
of the albums.  It does nothing for me now.  And I could care less about the 
reunion tour.  I would projectile vomit more over the Genesis reunion 
complete with $400 tickets.  I kid you not.  Somebody needs to buy them a 
clue.
