Great news, hope he wins. There really is no one quite like Jimmy!

Sebastian. · 15 Oct 2011, 16:50

Good luck, Jim. He has written some masterpieces.

Evil One · 15 Oct 2011, 16:50

He won't go in. If the powers that be wanted Jim in the HOF then he'd already be in.

**The Flying Mouse** · 15 Oct 2011, 18:42

Hope Jim gets in

I've a feeling you may be right but really hope you're wrong

I totally agree, this could be the year! Fingers crossed

melon · 16 Oct 2011, 03:52

Fingers crossed, good luck Jimmy!!!

Paul Richardson · 16 Oct 2011, 08:02

Jim should be in there for the sheer inventiveness of the songs. I mean FFS Diane Warren and Desmond Child are in there, which when you think about it is something of an insult to Jim.

It's a crime that you're not in the RNR Hall too...

Hope Jimmy gets in the songwriters hall. Lou and Tom definitely deserve a place too. If he is inducted, I hope Jim attends the ceremony. Would be great to see him (assuming this is televised?)

Gracie · 19 Oct 2011, 18:29

That is great

I hope he does get in the HOF like Meat Loaf said would be a crime! if jim wasn't.
