SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I get solace from the fact that whoever Sting is, he seems to be sending out mixed signals. There seems to be a great disparity between the extremes people see in me. On the one hand, I'm a rainforest-tree-hugging savior. On the other, I'm this sort of lowlife. I like to think that I'm able to encompass both ends of the scale."
