I feel a bit safer posting this now that Undi has gone (and probably died).

It's his little delighted smile when he hears the crowd of tens of thousands singing his song back at him that gets me.

I will try, to fix you

Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

No I don't think it is:)
If you want audience participation you should watch Iron Maiden in Rio.

I'll pass on both bands if it's all the same with you. Both best listened to through binoculars IMO.
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

While I normally don't like Sting's music I do like that song. I'm of the pre MTV generation, videos don't really mean a lot to me, the music is what matters. I blame Wacko Jacko for his overuse of videos to mask the fact that his music wasn't all that.

If I wanted a good Cold Play,I'd listen to Radiohead:)
They can be quite inventive with their videos but I'm with GP ,it's the music wot matters.

I think this is my favourite video :
Unfinished Sympathy.
