WAV,

That wiki link isn't reliable.

I dispute the idea that pop music comes from america.

I think its roots are far more complex than that.



Apart from that I think sting has done a good thing.

Richard thompson made the same point on BBC Hardtalk, but with less impact as he is less of a mainstream artist so less people are likely to pay attention.

It is good that the credibility of these shows is questioned in a way that causes the public to question them and to consider the alternatives.

Like or loath sting, his comments are correct and useful.
