LOGGINS & MESSINA HAVE EARNED INDUCTION INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!
From the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame web site:
Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artist’s contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.
The Foundation’s nominating committee, composed of rock and roll historians, selects nominees each year in the Performer category. Ballots are then sent to an international voting body of about 1,000 rock experts. Those performers who receive the highest number of votes, and more than 50 percent of the vote, are inducted. The Foundation generally inducts five to seven performers each year."
We are organizing a concentrated letter writing campaign to bring Loggins & Messina's achievements to the attention of the Foundation, and encourage them to nominate them for induction. The Foundation has no email address, so this will have to be done by postal mail.
The initial campaign ran from 9/17/2005 - 10/17/2005, but it is by no means over! Let's KEEP Loggins & Messina in the minds of the Nominating Committee. If you haven't yet written a letter, please do so!
Induction Committee
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland, Ohio, but the Foundation and its nominating committee are in New York City.
"Leaders in the music industry joined together in 1983 to establish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. One of the Foundation’s many functions is to recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of rock and roll by inducting them into the Hall of Fame.
