When did Sting jump the shark? Some might argue it was this metal codpiece from Dune. (An aside: how perfect is it that Robert Pattinson may go there?) I must admit that I remained a drooling, obsessed Sting fan for some time after that faux pas. I was a teenager, okay? But around the time of his TMI tantric sex revelations and more frequent disrobing, even I got over him. This A.V. Club "Why Do I Own This?" column reminded me of the 90s-era Sting concerts I attended, even as my loyalty started to flag, and all the Sting memorabilia that is still floating around our attic somewhere.

I feel ya with the Sting crush. So. Hot. But I think Sting jumped the shark as soon as the Police broke up, personally. Still, I can look at the man today, and it doesn't hurt ;)
You are probably right. Yhe Sting fans who hung in after the Police, like me, were really just basking in a golden aftershock.
Not too long ago I thrifted an early 80's Police Synchronicity Concert tee (it's this awesome shade of green somewhere between mint and aqua that I'm pretty sure only existed in the 80's) off a dollar rack in a San Francisco thrift store. Score!
