• Sting was interviewed for Breakfast Time (between 7:30 and 8:30am) in January 1991 - the journalist mentions having seen Sting on TV the day before (talking about 3 years of writer's block) and that All This Time entered the charts at no. 26 "this week" - which was January 12...

• in an MTV rockumentary (shown in December and probably already in August 1991) Sting mentions the BMI Awards a month ago (Los Angeles prob.) - where he received an award for 2 millionth play of Every Breath... at the BMI Awards Sting still has rather long hair - should be between December 1990 and April 1991.

• same: "I got a British Music Industry award for 2 million plays of that record, which, added up, is about seventeen years of continuous radio play ! It would be a pretty boring radio station, but the staggering idea is that this song, which is so ambiguous - it's seductive, but it's also quite pernicious...it works. This may sound highfalutin, but it's probably the song of the Reagan years - this idea that you'll be looked after by this patronising, figure. Like Star Wars: You'll be under surveillance but also...protected. That mixture of sex and power is very compelling."

Rolling Stone, 2/91

• same: find date for BMI Awards (2 million plays of Breath) / day after (Sting at home / video shoot for Mad About You) ???

• OK - 26.07.1991 - Sting spent a week incognito at the Royal Monceau hotel in Paris

• Around 1991 / 1992 Andy Summers was thinking about creating a new 4-piece rock band. Andy on guitar, Jerry Watts on bass - unknown on drums. They needed a singer and placed an anonymous ad into Billboard Magazine asking for submissions. It supposedly just said that they were a new band which was a 'major act' looking for a new singer.

From this ad, they located a singer named Vince Rocco and apparently did 4 demos: Give it up, One Thing, Fly Too Low and Medicine Slow No live shows, and not even a band name. Maybe the singer didn't work out. (Jay Matsueda info from Jerry Watts)
