So if you're still listenin'
I hope you'll remember
The kid with the big white guitar
And all the sad stories to tell
Stephen Stills, My Favorite Changes (1975)

I’ll never get sick of Sting just stuck, trapped listening to someone slaughtering his music. He’s marinating in agony and embarrassment! pic.twitter.com/Q3gD5T9Qqx

That was BAD. Who was that? Looked like they found Jose Feliciano and invited him in from the where are they now file.

"Jos Feliciano performed a unique cover of The Police's "Every Breath You Take" (often referred to by the lyric "I'll be watching you") in front of Sting in 2017. The performance occurred at the Polar Music Prize ceremony in Stockholm, where Sting was one of the honorees.

Key Details of the Performance:

Event: 2017 Polar Music Prize.

Reaction: The performance drew significant attention for Sting's visibly mixed or uncomfortable reaction, which was captured by cameras.

Style: It was a slow, Latin-infused reinterpretation of the song."

This song released in 1991 was co written by Roger McGuinn and Tom Petty. They alternate lead vocals:



*As you can hear, Tom Petty was derivative of Roger McGuinn and they were both derivative of Bob Dylan.

Very Byrds-like, not surprisingly.

They could have perfectly played each others song catalogue.

I also feel that way about Eddie Vedder and Bruce Springsteen and Stephen Stills and Dave Mason.

This Pearl Jam song is tailor made for Bruce:

Quote:

On the night of May 26, 1966, the Beatles entered EMI Studios on Abbey Road to work on their most ambitious album yet, "Revolver." Three miles away, their friend Bob Dylan stepped onto the stage of the Royal Albert Hall.

Blade-thin, on the verge of exhaustion, Dylan, 25, was nearing the end of a grueling world tour, his first with a band, during which he'd been the target of frequent boos and occasional death threats. Many fans felt betrayed by this new Dylan, a wild-haired character with an electric guitar who wouldn't play his old protest songs. On this night in London, he and his fellow musicians received "the harshest reaction yet," according to the guitarist Robbie Robertson.

Around 1 a.m., John Lennon, 25, made his way from Abbey Road to the May Fair Hotel. That was where Dylan was staying with his band and a documentary film crew that was tracking him, onstage and off.

Lennon and his fellow Beatles had spent a lot of time at Dylan's suite in recent weeks. They avoided the film crew as they smoked pot with their host and listened to tracks from "Revolver" and Dylan's soon-to-be-released album, "Blonde on Blonde." On this night at the May Fair, however, Lennon said yes, albeit reluctantly, when Dylan asked him to appear in a scene.

"He said, 'I want you to be in this film,'" Lennon recalled. "And I thought: Why? What? He's going to put me down!"

At daybreak, they were dressed sharp for their debut as co-stars Lennon in a blazer over a turtleneck, Bob in a dark jacket and stiff-collared shirt. As they rode in the back of an Austin Princess limousine, the filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker trained his lens on them from the passenger seat. Lennon was stiff. Dylan was jittery.
