Only artistically.
Sting: Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point, answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that
Will Be, or are they shadows of things that
May Be, only? Our artistic decisions will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead, but if the courses be departed from, the ends
will change. Say it is thus with what you show me!
(Sting leans forward and reads his name upon the headstone.)
No, Spirit! Oh no, no! Spirit! Hear me! I am not the rock star I was. I will not be the rock star I must have been but for this intercourse.
Why show me this, if I am past all hope? Good Spirit, your nature intercedes for me, and pities me. Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me, by an altered life! I will honour Rock & Roll in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. No more jazz or classical pretensions!
OH, TELL ME I MAY SPONGE AWAY THE WRITING ON THIS STONE!
