I remember when Lloyd Cole and the Commotions announced their going separate ways, blaming Yoko.

I hope they have other projects lined up. I always wonder what people do when they end their bands.

Never heard of them.

He should have gone to U-Mass. It's educational.

I believe he got inspiration for a double concept album out of that venture.

Had a student chat with me today, and in passing he mentioned that another history prof played Sting and Billy Joel before a couple of his lectures. I couldn't mask my horror. I can't conceive of an acceptable circumstance for playing Billy Joel in a class, except, I dunno, a history of the apocalypse. Sting is only marginally more acceptable.

Aside from the good Police tracks, the only thing I've liked from Sting is that album of John Dowland songs he did about ten years ago.
