Sting says today's rock is a bore
I concur.
BERLIN (Reuters) - Sting said contemporary rock music is so stagnant that he prefers to sing 16th century English ballads.
The former teacher who shot to fame as lead singer, bassist and composer in the 1970s and 80s for The Police told German newspaper Die Zeit that he prefers singing songs of Elizabethan lutenist and composer John Dowland to the rock music of today.
His album of Dowland lute music "Songs from the Labyrinth" has topped classical charts on both sides of the Atlantic and entered the UK album chart at No. 24.
"Rock music has come to a standstill -- it's not going forward any more, it only bores me," Die Zeit quoted Sting as saying.
The 55-year-old singer, real name Gordon Sumner, had a string of hits with The Police with songs like "Roxanne" and "Don't Stand So Close To Me". He has since also had a lucrative solo career with songs like "Englishman in New York".
"Forty years ago it was my dream to break out of Newcastle and never be poor again," he told the magazine.
"I'm very privileged. I'm a successful musician, live in a beautiful house, and have a wonderful family."

He's just getting old, when you out grow rock it's time for Geritol and Depends...if he were faithful he would try to do something about it like Ted Nugent or the other guys who try to mentor kids who want to be musicians...
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

YEa.... I still struggle with seeing some of my (former) Rock Heros in the present day.
You want to remember them as they were but....... inevitable they all grow old and swell up
NEVER write a check with your mouth that you can't cash with your ASS!! 
I can run faster mad than you can scared

Rock music is not dead. Sting is an upity shithead that has lost touch with the world. There are good bands out there, but they aren't classified as rock. There are many alternative rock bands that are stepping up, like Queens of the Stoneage.
I can't agree more with Manic. Ted Nugent is the shit. I don't really like his mucic much, but I respect him, because he is a good guy.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

Yeah, Bob Dylan reduced to hocking womens underwear...I wonder what the Tambourine Man would have done to him if he caught him doing that? Originally Posted by Witmaster
