Sting, sing a song, make it simple and don't be so #&@$!! pretentious

There are 150 TV critics at press tour and, as the cliché goes, 150 different opinions. PBS brought the popular recording artist Sting and the concert lute player Edin Karamazov to Pasadena for a live preview of "Songs from the Labyrinth," a song cycle by the 16th-17th century poet and troubador John Dowland. that Sting has turned into a hit classical CD. He'll be appearing on PBS's "Great Performances" later this year. Listen in as I debate three of my colleagues on the merits of listening to Sting on the lute. It's an entertaining give-and-take.
