I have been hopelessly in (platonic) love with both Sting and Robert Downey Junior since the early eighties. Never in my wildest dreams, however, did I imagine them appearing on stage together. My main man Sting made that a reality.
This is RDJ performing Driven to Tears with Sting on stage at the rock star’s 60th birthday on this day in 2011. No matter how many times I play it, I still get chills.
I have only one question. WHY WASN’T I INVITED???
Below, just for fun, is the entire 60th birthday concert. I haven’t had time to listen to it all yet, but I understand there are some really amazing duets and surprise guests!

Haha! Even my mother, a staunch opponent of popular music, liked them both.

Police played at our college union in the late 70s – so much fun! He was very handsome back in the day…

Blondie was even more exciting. I tried my very best to look like her but my uncle and boyfriend thought I looked like a lady of the night…

I couldn’t pull off the Blondie thing either. I could manage a pretty respectable Terri Nunn from Berlin, though.
