Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from
Inside O-Town!
(December 25, 2003) The IO Crew wishes everyone who is a part of the Inside
O-Town online community and all who visit us, a very merry Christmas and happy
holidays. In this time when we are reminded daily of terrorism, it is refreshing
to have a season that focuses on peace, hope and goodwill. Whether it is the
birth of Christ, the good deeds of St. Nicholas or a miracle of lights, the
exchange of gifts, greetings or other charitable acts is our way of keeping
alive the goodness that these holy ones and miraculous event brought to the
world. O-Town fans also treasure the goodness that Ashley, Dan, Erik, Jacob
and Trevor brought into their world through Making the Band, their
music, concerts, appearances and the boys’ kindness toward them at meet
and greets or encounters. Fans keep that goodness alive by sharing with others
the ways that O-Town brought goodness into their lives. Click here
if you would like to share about something O-Town or something one of the
guys said or did that brought goodness into your life, or to read the posts
made by other fans. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
to ALL!

Love is In the Air!
(January 16, 2004) Those watching TRL, as well as everyone who was in the
studio, were treated to a brief clip of O-Town’s “We Fit Together”
on January 12th. VJ Damien
Fahey, who was hosting TRL that day, is quite taken with Fefe
Dobson, who was the guest artist. He presented her roses and a CD with
love songs on it. He shared the selection of songs with the audience. According
to Shawnee, who saw the show and posted an account on our message board, he
said, “First, the classic O-Town, 'We Fit Together,'” and the love
song filled the air. Trevor’s sister, Vanessa, happened to be in the
studio audience as well! We thank Chelsea, Shawnee, Marisol and everyone who
posted about this event on the IO message board. Valentines
Day is less than a month away. Just about every song that O-Town performed
is about love. If you were to give or receive a CD of love songs to a loved
one for Valentines Day, what O-Town song or songs would be on the CD you would
give or receive? We invite you to post your choices or read others’ choices
here.

In Memory of Martin Luther King, Jr.
(January 19, 2004) Today we commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr.’s
life, his work, his ministry, his contributions and his dreams. His
peaceful demonstrations and powerful speeches, including his best remembered
speech, “I Have
A Dream,” changed the fabric of our society, our nation’s history
and the history of the world. His dream became the dream of many. It seems
appropriate today to dedicate the song “One
Heart” to Martin Luther King, Jr. today. One portion of the lyrics
reads “One hope is all you need, one dream that we can all share, one
dream we all believe.” And because of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the
many people who shared his dream, perhaps even the members of O-Town were
able to make their dreams come true. Perhaps it is appropriate to also dedicate
“American Game” to Martin
Luther King today, too. A passage from this song says “Because of you
my friends I can live my life and I can be free to be me.” What more
would this civil rights leader who dreamed of freedom and brotherhood wish
to hear?
