Just heard on the radio that the Police–yep, 270 years of rock royalty–will be playing at Wrigley Field this July 5. How long has this been out? Seems like big news to me. Wasn’t Dave Matthews Band going to play there, then pulled out? It’s only fitting–the Cubs will be dumping enough raw sewage in the hood by that time, and won’t need any help from DMB’s tour bus.
So, here’s hoping that the Police will take some song requests to personalize their visit, as they play their hits from albums like “Outfieldos d’Amour, ” “Zambrano Mondatto” and “Regatta de Henry Blanco”:
Driven No Runs
Every Swing You Take
Hole in My Glove
Message on the Outfield Wall
So(riano) Lonely
Cedeno-nicity
I Can’t Stand Losing (But I Do It Anyway)
Walking in the Winning Run
I just hope they don’t play any Sting solo material…
“Outfields of Gold”
“0-for-4tress Around Your Heart”
“Love is the Seventh Inning”
“Soul Batting Cages”?
That’s good.
“If you Love Somebody, Set Them Free Agent”
And from MCaro, “I Can’t Stand Losing, Lou.”
