Any suggestions for tracking any of them down before the Chicago show? Just to say hello and thank them for all of their great contributions to music would be a dream come true. And maybe a signature :)
I have met Stewart three times and it was in places where I didn't go looking for him. 1. Backstage at Sting's DotBT tour stop in Park City 2. Outside Radio City Music Hall during the MTV Awards of 1985. 3. At a brewpub last weekend. I can't say anytime that he seemed pleased to be interacting with a fan. Maybe it was just my luck. I've met a lot of other public figures who have run the spectrum from pleasant to a--hole. I'd say Stewart was smack in the middle. I'm not saying that they don't have a right to be annoyed, but I'm just saying hello and not camping on their lawn. Even though I was backstage in #1, I've never met Sting. Andy seems to be even harder for fans to meet.
