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.
