HELP GET MEAT WHERE HE SHOULD BE!!!

[CarylB]

Meat is now eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame This is his time!! With many thanks to Janice Eckel, a fan in the US who did some initial research, ROL has started a petition which we will send to the Induction Committee.

We are calling on Meat's fans to
* sign the petition
* write an individual letter to the committee
* spread the word amongst Meat's fans.
This is one situation when lobbying is in order and indeed expected.

We have invited other websites to join us in the campaign, and hope to get the support of Meat's many, many fans. If anyone richly deserves his place in the Hall of Fame it is Meat.

Information (including the address to which yoiur letter should be sent), the petition, points you might want to include in your letter etc can all be found on:

An update from Caryl:

The petition we hosted, with 400 signatures and running to 70 pages has been sent to the Hall of Fame Nominating Committee. Huge thanks to all who signed and left messages. Anyone still wishing to sign is most welcome to do so. We will be putting the first petition up as an archive for viewing, and when we get a reasonable number of additions to the new list we will send that on to the committee. And of course we hope people will continue to send letters to the Hall of Fame.

As requested by Caryl:
As someone has posted, sadly Meat is not to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. However, he only became eligible for induction last year. The last petition was sent with 400 signatures and messages. We'd like to double that this year! A copy of the bound and printed petition was given to Meat last month. I'm sure it will have warmed his heart to see the many messages people left. Thanks to all of you who supported him. Let's redouble our efforts this year. So please keep sending letters to the Nominating Committee, and signing the petition.
