The Police Like Trees

Those hip old farts in The Police have been doing the reunion tour thang for about a year now, so they must be getting tired. Of playing, of each other, and of living in a van and loading their gear in each night to dive bars and smelly clubs. So to call attention to the end of this reunion tour, Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland gathered in Times Square today to announce that their final show ever would be... somewhere in New York. Where? Who knows. They didn't say! Which makes for a pretty un-dramatic press conference. So...

Why New York? And what's the deal with the trees? Well, they have decided to donate $1 million smackers to NYCs plan to plant a million trees by 2017. And, again, why New York? Well, The Police kicked off their first ever US tour thirty years ago with a gig at New York's late CBGBs. Now CBGBs is a John Varvatos store. So, um, they should go buy something. Right?
