Love the photo recap, Quick! Rawdawy, I completely agreed with you. I was glued to the nearest TV all day yesterday.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my main man Sting! Is that his natural hair color, I wonder? I always thought he was a blond. My wife thought he was Billy “You look mahvalous” Crystal when the camera panned by the first time. It wasn’t until J. Foxx listed him as one of the singers–and the camera stopped on him–that we confirmed it was Mr. Tantric Love himself!
