[Harp-L] Re: Sign Butter into Rock and Roll hall of Fame!!!!

["Jonathan Metts" <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry to rain on the parade, but online petitions are worthless, period, 
especially in this case because the hall of fame inductees are chosen by a 
selection panel, not by popular demand.

Furthermore, Fred Durst is NOT in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  He's not 
even eligible; you can't be inducted until at least 25 years after the 
release of your first record.

I think Butterfield deserves to join those ranks and surely will some day, 
but there are surely more productive things you could do to encourage the 
committee to choose him.  For starters, try writing a letter to the Hall of 
Fame or encouraging music publications to editorialize on his omission.
