Where Sting and Toto really necessary ?


I know the old farts at the studio thought-"Now, who are the kids listening to these days?-We'll put them in the film!"

Both were old news by the time the film came out-and it didn't help the film-and Toto's music could have been done by any Orchestral soundtrack writer

toto and sting are both talented and their addition helps to make this imperfect film memorable

Sting's (well, The Police) best selling album came out the previous year as well as 5 charting singles.

Toto's largest selling album and two very well known singles came out two years before the release.

I don't know where this counts as "old farts."

I don't care about Toto and that kind of 80s music but they did a great job. So did Sting.
