Brave Soul,

Please accept my condolences for your loss. This is actually a more complex question than it seems. There are quite a few levels of meeting a celebrity you might agree. At his home or office by invitation would be one thing but there is also a big difference in getting "backstage" as many refer to it and "waiting in the alley" outside the show. I'm hoping it is not a moot point but perhaps those who know how to get "backstage" regularly would share it so that more of us might join that club in the future. When you read about how long it takes him to emerge from his shows, in the past, you must figure that a major portion of his time is spent with those that have gotten "backstage", how long does it take to put on a clean shirt? And the longer he spends speaking with those there the less time he has to spend with those outside. Let's hope we all get some friendly pointers before his next show.

Bill
