This is what I had to say about a dozen times when I told people that I was going to watch The Police in Macau.
Apparently, most people in Hong Kong do not know who or what The Police are and assumed I am schlepping to the neighboring S.A.R. to watch a parade or a performance of a chorale of peace officers.
So I try to explain who The Police are... "You know, Sting?"
I get a blank stare.
This got me thinking. The Chinese probably think the Beatles are insects. Poor John Lennon. Guess he wasn't as popular as he thought he was.

P.S. The concert was magnificent. It was everything I had hoped for.

Aha! It must be genetic, then.
Am I now forgiven for remarking 12 years ago that, "The Police sounds like Sting, no?"
Ah, the Efren Duran days...
