PBS Great Performances: Message in a Bottle

[KQ]

Watched "Message in a Bottle" last night by accident. The show I was watching finished and it came on so I stayed to watch because I like Sting's music. All I can say is "WOW!" I'm not usually a fan of modern dance but this was incredible. Highly recommend this amazing athletic and moving piece.

I’ve seen a lot of pub and comments calling it stings music. Most of it is the POLICE. That’s not sting. Sting music sucks

I think you're splitting hairs, Sting was the primary songwriter for the group and the lead singer (so his vocals) but beyond that the preformance is about something else altogether.

FYI - this is a list of songs written or co-written by Gordon Sumner, known professionally as Sting
