He hasn’t changed. His wife is more a lefty bitch than he is and I’ve known since the 90’s he hates Republicans and conservatives.
Sting wrote and performed a lot of good pieces, some with Police, some after that. I don’t like everything he did though. I recall getting one of the first Police albums as a cassette. It may have been Reggatta de Blanc, not sure. Sting was still experimenting with mixtures of Reggae and Rock.
There was one particular song on that album that was so atonal, so uneven and unpleasant to keep hearing, that I threw the cassette in the trash before hearing the rest of the album. Lots of yelling not singing on that one cut.
