  Sting (born Gordon Sumner) holds a place as the thinking man's rocker. His years of success with the Police preceded a hugely successful solo career and a continued involvement in acting and environmental issues. His support for social and environmental causes like the Rainforest Foundation, have polarized his critics down two lines, those who admire his stand, and others who accuse him of being motivated more by egomania than by genuine concern. This biography seeks to point out the contradictions and hypocrisies in a life that has generated some of the most talked-about music to emerge from rock and roll's first 40 years, and show that Sting is not one to make a virtue out of being a one-track pop star.
