If you ever turned on MTV in the 1980s when all it played was music, you are guaranteed to have seen a video of one of the many popular songs from The Police. The band actually had three members, but with the lead singer going by the name “Sting,” he’s the only one most of us remember.

Apple Used Its Oprah Moment to Pull One Over on Us

I will admit it—I fangirled over Oprah. Not to her face. She was some 30 feet from me, on stage in a long flowing Colonel Sanders getup that very few people could pull off (Oprah did).
