Alive To See It!

For the past few weeks, I’ve been completely consumed by the reunion of my favorite band ever, and GREATEST band ever, THE POLICE! I have followed this exciting news from rumor to reality, and now I plan on seeing them in concert. With every breath I take (on my ventilator, that is), I impatiently await my chance to purchase tickets to this incredible, historic event. Even though prices will be extremely steep, I will somehow scrounge up enough cash to secure my place. I’ve been waiting twenty-four years for front man Sting to come to his senses and reunite the Police. Sting is not very popular these days. His last big commercial record totally flopped, and for his latest CD he has been reduced to playing medieval lute music. He is playing a FREAKIN’ LUTE for crying out loud. Rock stars do not play lutes! I have been a huge Sting fan for years, but this lute shit is an embarrassment even to me! Sting has finally gotten back together with drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers, and appears to want to be a rock star again. As my best friend says, “Now that the Police are touring again, Sting can sell out stadiums instead of K-Marts.” The Police are back, and poised to sell out major gigs around the globe! This is incredible! This reunion means so much to me, being that I have Duchenne muscular dystrophy and have already exceeded the average life span for people with this disease - I am now 40. I think maybe God has kept me alive for this long so I could see this Police reunion. I am elated beyond belief! I've lived for this!
