One of my favorite singers - and definitely the most versatile one ever - celebrated his 65 yesterday. Since the day was absolutely full of commitments and deadlines, I thought I should just squeeze in a quick wish while it is still October 2nd in some small part of the world.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STING
Since Sting is possibly one of the most featured artistes on this blog, I thought I could just curate some of my previous posts where he is mentioned.
Gandhi Jayanti and More Birthdays
Sting shares his birthday with Mahatma Gandhi - a model of non-violence for Indians and others around the world. Last year, I posted a tribute to the 'Father of the Nation' (India) besides greeting some musicians who shared the birthday including Youssou N'Dour.
Sting's birthday also marked the start of a festive month in India with Navratri having started yesterday... and Diwali at the end of the month. A few days before Diwali, India will celebrate Dhanteras.
Sting has a special association with Mark Knopfler on this song and was mentioned on this blog post celebrating Mark's birthday.
Just last week, we celebrated World Tourism Day... with a special mention and a song for the traveler Sting - The Englishman in New York.
Signing off with an all-time favorite from Sting with The Police - Every Breath You Take.
