O Sting, where is thy sting?
It is not where his principles lie, according to human rights activists who are demanding that the superstar stinger donate to charity the more than $2 million dollars “in blood money” he received for playing a secret concert for the daughter of one the world’s most brutal dictators, Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan.
The little known dictator burst upon the international scene in 2005 when his troops opened fire on protesters in the city of Andijan. Estimates of the number of casualties, largely women and children, run from 187, the state official figure, to 5000. In the outraged that followed, Karimov closed an American military base used to support troops in Afghanistan and shifted his allegiances to China and other non-Western nations.

I'm sorry, is this a conservative website?
Sting has been "accused" of doing that which he does for a living: performing.
Why does he now owe the leftists money?
this has nothing to do with owing money
Sting is a midget libtard and he rails all the good causes yet then runs off and gets paid 2M to play for a bloodthirsty dictator
how does that add up to owing leftists money?
it just shows he has no principles just talk...a whore basically with a podium
and a horsey wife...don’t get me started
and an open marriage too
typical celeb wack
next week I hear he’s doingh a private show for the next Hamas suicide bomber class graduation...what a sport
Sting: "I have come to believe that cultural boycotts are not only pointless gestures, they are counter-productive, where proscribed states are further robbed of the open commerce of ideas and art and as a result become even more closed, paranoid and insular."
Upon hearing the singer's explanation, Craig Murray, a former British ambassador to Uzbekistan, [rhetorically] asked “Is he mad?"
i thought springsteen was great too, but now i cant stand him and sold my collection for $18.
“There’s a little black spot on my soul today...”
lol...that should do the trick
you know I met him very briefly in Waylon’s office in 1996 or so
Miles Copeland had Waylum doing bits with all these rock folks he had access to on his label
he was tiny and wearing a houndstooth checked little Dickens looking suit...very odd...but quite personable
hit on all the gals...claimed he and Trudie are allowed to
geez
Gordon Sumner and his wife have an open marriage. They have both talked about it often. I blame the Jesuits who educated him myself.
and open marriage is like an open mind...empty...and a canard to boot
I could not bear the thought of my little wifey having sex...especially the good kind.. with another man....makes me want to listen to Dropkick Murphys and kill someone
Someone should look up his “pointless gestures” conducted against South Africa.
I’ve never met the libidot. ...or even seen him in concert.
Seems most guys with “open” marriages have wives that look like Mr. Ed.
I didn’t say that.
“He called himself a verb, present tense. He’s not Stung. He’s not Stinging. He’s Sting.”
“’Allo Gordo.”
“Excuse me, I would prefer if you called me ‘Sting’ from now on.”
“Sting?!?! You’ve gone off your bleedin’ rocker, you ‘ave.”
Yeah, this is the same guy who was complaining about overpopulation. At last check, he has seven kids.
lol....good observation
Big stink, Sting stung, sang song for Islam.
Then again, the Amnesty folks probably had front row tickets at the concert.
