Hello all, Well, I guess that they taped the Oprah show (not sure when, but Sting.com confirmed it). I would guess that it was while he was out in Chicago for the concert. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone on the list ever got a call back from the show after they had written it. I was disappointed that I never heard anything back from them after I submitted my story. I guess that they also filmed some stuff outside the NYC fan club show. I thought that I had a really good story, but I guess it was not good enough for the Oprah folks. Still waiting to meet Sting... Hilary For those who asked, here is a copy of the essay that I wrote for the Oprah show: I have been a Sting fan since 1987 when Nothing Like the Sun was released. Since then, I have purchased every album, attended 12 concerts, been a member of his fan club, collected everything Sting related (including stamps, Coke Can, guitar pick, signed lithograph, and a water bottle that he used during a concert), visited Newcastle (his hometown) and his fan club offices in London. I first saw Sting perform on Broadway in 1989 in 3 Penny Opera. After the show, I waited to get his autograph. I was very persistent and went to the side of his car and he signed Sti on my Playbill before the car moved away. I would love the opportunity to get the ng part of the autograph! Several months later, I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. When I went into Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh for brain surgery, I listened to Sting videos and cassettes and thought often about seeing Sting on Broadway. On the wall of my hospital room, along with get-well wishes was a photo of Sting. Over the next two years, I faced two brain surgeries and radiation therapy. Throughout this difficult time, Stings music was a constant companion. Often, my incentive to get through tests and treatments was to attend an upcoming Sting concert. After being approved for a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, I struggled with deciding on a wish. I needed a computer to help with my class work and upcoming college applications, however, I really wanted to meet Sting and tell him how much his music has meant to me. After much thought, my rational side won and I wished for a computer. The computer was very useful, but I always wondered, what if I had wished to meet Sting? In the past few months, I have faced more hospitalization and surgery and once again my Sting DVDs and CDs, as well as the anticipation of a new album and tour, were an important part of my recovery. If given the opportunity, I would like to meet Sting and tell him how important his music has been to me.
When we were at the Hammerstein show, they said that there was now not going to be a show on one specific fan, and the Oprah cameras filmed all of us in the line waiting for the doors to open. So I believe they are just using clips from that, as opposed to anyone being in the studio Jeremy On Monday, October 13, 2003, at 09:56 PM, Hilary L. Justh wrote:
