A Moniker Less Likely

In the mini-documentary/concert DVD, "Bring on the Night", which details the exploits of Sting (Gordon Sumner) in his quest to successfully separate himself from the fame and notoriety  that came with be a member of The Police, and become a serious/semi-political solo "Rock" artist.

Some would argue (as I would) that he was successful.  Others would argue that the music would never better than he was with The Police.

One can't argue with one thing:  Sting had balls.

In the beginning of the DVD, a reporter begins a question, "Now Gordon, what do-"

"Who is this Gordon character?  Sting, my name is Sting.  My mother calls me Sting, my wife calls me Sting, my children call me Sting.  All the people who know me call me Sting.  My name is Sting."

And wow.

Today that would be career suicide.

To change your identity.  To say... I'm not that person anymore... and guess what:  You have to deal with me.

The new me.

The me I want to be.
