I just fear what kinda weirdo the Oprah show might pick, and make the lot of us look like nutbags

This whole thing makes me wonder if Oprah is doing some sort of "meet your idols" kinda show, where Stevie would just be one of several stars in the episode. We all know how Oprah loves to dedicate shows to making people's dreams come true.

Oh Louie, but we are a bunch of crazy nut bags. Otherwise we'd be doing something else with our time.

It sounds like Oprah's producers are fishing. And some of the names tossed out there are so far-fetched. I mean, Tina Turner is a recluse living in Switzerland with nothing new to promote. Cher is no longer doing her Vegas show and has nothing new to promote. Cyndi Lauper released an album last year and has nothing new to promote. Sister Sledge? Really?

A couple of years ago Oprah did a special with Cher and Tina Turner together, each being infinitely more famous than Stevie. So I think having a solo Stevie episode would have been an impossible dream. I think an 80's theme show with Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett, Stevie and Pat Benatar is a likely scenario.

Exactly...I think it's a bit crazy to think that Stevie would get her own full-hour. If anything, maybe half of the show. But to feature her in a show on other women rockers, while a bit of a disappointment to the fans, makes more sense, I think.

Stevie might not be on that show. I bet it depends on the most heartfealt stories they get, and they don't have time to feature all those rockers.

By the way, Aretha Franklin did not get a full show either. I saw her on Oprah and she was only on there for like 10 minutes.

A few years ago there was an even weirder mix of singers- Mary J. Blige, Carly Simon and, I think, some female country singer that I can't remember. Each had a song and an interview segment. I can't remember the theme of the show.

But there is always a common thread in there somewhere. The only time a celebrity gets a full hour is if they are unqualified A-list stars or if they are currently in the midst of a big controversy or about to make a big confession. She could have easily devoted a week of episodes to Whitney Houston!

This is what I thought originally, which immediately had me thinking Stevie & Rod might appear on the show together. Some sort of rock n roll retro show to also promote H&S before the Chicago April 9th Show.

But ultimately, I've warmed a little to possibly see Stevie appear with the likes of Pat Benatar, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett, Debbie Harry & Heart. But Sister Sledge!?

Thats just freaky. I mean, I can even justify Donna Summer, but Sister Sledge!

Basically, if Stevie does appears on some future O show, it will be great exposure and good for In Your Dreams. And I suspect Stevie would be the featured *prized* guest out of all the names being thrown around by Oprah's producers for Rock Goddesses of the 70s and 80s.

Ha. Ladies of the 80's.

By the time the show happens, I may be 21~

maybe you could ask your mom or a friend over 21 to write on your behalf?

I just got a confirmation to attend the taping of the Oprah show as a "rock and roll fan". Does anyone know any details on this? Is Stevie going to be there? My letter to the Oprah show was all about how much I love Stevie's music!

Good 4 You

So when is the taping? Are you just part of the audience or part of the show, meaning are Oprah's producers asking to tape special segments with fans in advance??

congratulation, of course she will be there

So we are sure there will be a show with or about Stevie? I wasn't sure if this was just something they were "fishing" for or actually doing?

I am sure they are doing a show about 70s and 80s rock goddesses. Stevie is the first name mentioned on all of them and she has a new album coming out and there has been a huge push to get her on there, so I would bet my sweet ass Stevie will be there. I think it may end up being a "Where are they now?" show woth Stevie and Pat and maybe someone else.

That would be horrible theme? Would they ask where is Aretha Franklin now? Stevie is an Icon. Everyone knows where she is.
