In your own words: For a long time ago, when I I'm still at school, I heard for the first time The Police and immediately I loved it. I went to the record store and I bought my first 33LP of The Police that I found, Reggatta de Blanc and returned home home to listen to it on a lousy stereo (it's not the same now!). And after the story began it' is now 40 years. I'm always an admirer of Sting and The Police. I love when Sting plays the first show after the Bataclan in France. It's a special and emotional moment for everybody. My regret is never meeting Sting in reality because now I can't wait for him at the exit because I'm in a wheelchair.
