Thanks for the links.

I went to the Police Tour site and noticed that the opening act is called the Fiction Plane. Interesting to note, and it may be purely coincidence,that the bass guitarist's name is Joe Sumner.

Why do you think I find thisto beinteresting?

Whew, I thought the LPD were wise to my summer plans or something... :lol:

I just got my 6 tickets in the mail last night.......



Nobody answered my question about Joe Sumner.....

My suspicion is that he has some family relationship to Sting...who is Gordon Sumner.

Anybody know the answer? Coincidence?

According to Wikipedia, Joe is indeed Sting's son. Man I feel old now.

Ah ha....nepotism. :) With the last name of Sumner I knew something "fishy" had to be going on. It will be interesting to see how much of his fathers genes were passed on to him. For one thing,if I were his agent I have his name changed to"Buzz."
