Customer Review: What a Pompous Windbag
Summary: 1 Stars
Wow. How rare is it that, without even reading a book, you can tell merely from the author's introduction -- which, presumably, is meant to cast the author in the best possible light -- how truly awful it will be. It is difficult to imagine a more self-absorbed and pedantic "artiste" than Sting, and thank God he doesn't let us down here. Reading the lyrics of such deep chestnuts as "Do Do Do Do Da Da Da Da," "shorn of the very garments that gave [it its] shape in the first place" (Sting's words), is -- to extend The Great Man's metaphor -- a little like spending time against one's will in a nudist colony of very "ordinary" looking people. Emperor's New Clothes, indeed.
