So when he sang "You could say I lost my belief in our politicians. They all seem like game show hosts to me." the audience erupted in applause. People hate what our politicians are doing to our country, really sad how they sell us all out.

" They all seem like game show hosts to me."

Given that Sting's audience is probably infested with leftists, I can't help but assume they connected that line to Trump i.e. "The Apprentice."

Saw him in the UK in the 90s. Superb concert.

Sting has a few cameo rolls as a tenant in Steve Martin’s “Only Murders in the Building”.

SPAC is the most magical place to see any show. Well, it has been anyway. Would have surely bought a ticket to Sting, but I moved from Waterford a year ago.

Poets, priests, and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one’s jamming their transmission

This made me think of the Cream’s “Politician”:

Hey now, baby
Get into my big black car
Hey now, baby
Get into my big black car
I want to just show you
What my politics are

I’m a political man
And I practice what I preach
I’m a political man
And I practice what I preach
So don’t deny me, baby
Not while you’re in my reach

I support the left
Though I’m leaning, leaning to the right
I support the left
Though I’m leaning to the right
But I’m just not there
When it’s coming to a fight

Hey now, baby
Get into my big black car
Hey now, baby
Get into my big black car
I want to just show you
What my politics are

Sting is one of those rare individuals/performers/artists who was gifted with so much talent, it’s kind of unfair.
