Re: OT: The Police on Tour

The problem is that radio sucks. Not music. You want virtuosity? Check out the Jam Bands. Umphrys McGee, Phish, Moe, RAQ, The Breakfast, et al. I know Krispen had a tirade against these guys a while ago. (which is odd, you would think an ambient musician would have a more open mind.) Of course theres Keller. Love him or hate him, he can play.

 

Get Sirius radio. TONS of great music out there.
