Pandemic Playlist #4: Message in a Bottle



Less obvious, so I'll definitely allow it.

"Message in a Bottle" was the song that made me fall in love (briefly) with The Police. They weren't quite mainstream in the US just yet, still somewhat of a hidden gem, at least at my university way back in 1979.

And then a year or so later, they released "Don't Stand So Close to Me," and everybody knew who they were. And then after that, they released "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da," and everybody seemed to take that as a legit piece of music. And and that point, I knew they were dead to me.
