Sting discusses his childhood in new webisode

A new webisode was recently released in which Sting talks about his childhood in the industrial landscape near a shipyard, and his first "rock 'n' roll catharsis" with Elvis Presley that would have him "run around the floor in a catatonic fit." The clip can be seen here: http://vevo.ly/piTfQu

Sting: The Best Of 25 Years, is now available! Featuring 12 re-mastered tracks, including several remixes and newly unearthed live recordings, selections for this compilation represent a diverse cross section of Sting’s enduring solo career.

Highlights include the No. 1 hits “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free” and “All This Time,” as well as Grammy® winners “If I Ever Lose My Faith In You” and “Whenever I Say Your Name” featuring Mary J. Blige. The CD also includes a new mix of “Never Coming Home” as well as previously unreleased live versions of “Message In A Bottle,” “Demolition Man” and “Heavy Cloud No Rain” (full track listing included below).

Sting: The Best Of 25 Years was produced by Rob Mathes and Executive Produced by Sting’s longtime manager, Kathryn Schenker.

Also recently released was the comprehensive Sting: 25 Years box set. This consummate collection contains three CDs personally curated by Sting, as well as a DVD, Rough, Raw & Unreleased: Live at Irving Plaza, featuring previously unreleased live concert footage filmed at New York City’s Irving Plaza.

I've never understood the Sting love. His bass playing is weak. His singing is reserved. His songs are uninspired. I feel that the people he surrounds himself with are strong enough to make him good.
