    Negative comments are so systemic of an unhappy society. It's much like school. People desperately trying to fit in and yet so quick at criticizing those who might be different. Very Interesting.

      Roxanne is a bad song from the start. Kristian is just doing his best here with bad material. I'm not a Sting hater, by the way, he's got some decent songs, but Roxanne is insufferable trash.
      Now, take the cerebral pulse on that negativity.

    First, you have to start from the fact that the umpteenth rendition of a song like this is just proof that Sting is already in Hell and he doesn't even know it. Second, give this guy a break. He does a clever job of it. Short and to the point. And, anybody who thinks the tallest man thing is literal needs to get a life. The orchestration is great.
