I have resisted as long as I can:

there have been several references to Sting/Police's lyrics as
"intelligent", "interesting", etc.

Is this the same Sting & Police who wrote "Message In a Bottle",
"(Don't Stand So) Close to Me", "Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Dei (or whatever
the nonsense syllables are)"?  I had always figured that their experimentation
in lyrics was to explore new meanings of the word "trite".  The lyrics seemed
indicative of the audience they were trying to reach (read "very young").

Have things really changed?  What happened?

This is not intended as a flame, but as a legitimate question to the net.
