The Police reunion tour to benefit WaterAid 1

After reuniting onstage Sunday at the Grammy Awards, The Police have announced a world tour that will begin May 28 in Vancouver and continue across North America, Europe, South America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The band has confirmed the first 14 dates, including two performances at Madison Square Garden and a headlining show at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in June.

Portions of the proceeds (tickets will average about $100) will be donated to WaterAid, an international charity "dedicated to helping people escape the stranglehold of poverty and disease caused by living without safe water and sanitation."

    "world music"The discovery of "world music" in the 1980s is one of the great cultural benefactions of that otherwise greed-oriented decade.  Thanks to such enlightened artists as The Police, Paul Simon and David Byrne.
    "Walking on the Moon" is one of the greatest love lyrics ever written.
    But also, there is the unforgettable "Dee doo doo doo, dee daa daa daa, is all I want to say to you."
    For the moral, compare the equally fine "Don't Know Much About History," James Taylor's version.

    Chickens are our cousins!

    So are other sensitive animals!

    Enough is enough!

    No more factory farms!
