The other night Sting wore a yellow suit with orange hightops, and I couldn’t get over how much he looks like Big Bird. All he needs is a beak, and people on Sesame Street would not be able to tell the difference.
Back in 1985, the world was involved in a Cold War with Russia. We were all afraid of them dropping the bomb. That year, Sting released a song called Russians as a plea that we would never get the thing that would end all wars.
That was then, and the Cold War finally ended. However, in the last week, Russia attacked Ukraine and is bringing us closer to that reality.
So, today he took the spider webs off of the tune he never thought would be relevant again and is singing it because, unfortunately, it is.
Sting is not only singing it because it is relevant again as he implores that Russia ends its unprovoked attack. He also wants to get the word out about a charity that is assisting displaced Ukrainians.
The singer is asking you to donate to Help Ukraine. He says, “The supplies shipped to this warehouse in Poland are delivered in coordination with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are guaranteed to go to people most in need.”
Sting shared a video of himself doing crunches. I am sorry, I meant doing a crunch.
Watching him do that is as exciting as one of his concerts. Yes, I have said and I meant it. I have seen him live three times, once with The Police, and each one was a bore.
See, I can be nice. I didn’t say that this video was as riveting as his latest album. Did I?
Alright, I will say something nice. Doing that crunch is helping the 70-year-old look younger than his years. He looks 69! Something I am sure he has done with his wife more than 69 times.
We all know the melody to the Jeopardy Think Music. Now we can learn the lyrics that Sting wrote for the song.
Tonight the game show is going to debut his take on the catchy tune that gets stuck in your head. The lyrics are, “Of all the things in my CV, everything in life from A to Z, but how I wish my ma could see, here I am on Jeopardy!”
Are you singing along with him, or are you like can we have another star do it?
