Mods, not sure this is okay to post, just thought it was worth a try.  
This is a petition to get Warren Zevon into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  
It could use a few signatures. If anyone did/does deserve to be there, it’s Warren.

I’ll bump this, because I totally agree. Warren Zevon should have been in the Hall of Fame ten years ago.

Come on, everyone. Go vote for Mr. Bad Example.

Sigh… unfortunately, I don’t support anybody for any Hall of Fame just because I like him.

Warren was a good guy who made some good records, but… he was neither very popular nor hugely influential. So, I have to vote no.

He’s definitely got my vote. I’ll pass this off to my dad too when I get home.
