Jimmy rock n roll HOF

Is there anyway we can make this happen?!

I can't think of anyone more deserving. Genre of music doesn't seem to matter anymore. Tupac is in the class of 2017!

Any ideas?

Jimmy should definitely be included.

So here's some information on eligibility and how it's done:

EACH YEAR, THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME FOUNDATION'S NOMINATING COMMITTEE SELECTS THE GROUP OF ARTISTS NOMINATED IN THE PERFORMER CATEGORY.

Ballots are then sent to more than 900 historians, members of the music industry and artists—including every living Rock Hall inductee—and the five performers receiving the most votes become that year's induction class. Beginning in 2012, fans were given the chance to vote for the nominees they'd like to see inducted into the Rock Hall. The top five vote-getters in the public poll form one ballot, which is weighted the same as the rest of the submitted ballots.

ELIGIBILITY
Artists—a group encompassing performers, composers and/or musicians—become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Besides demonstrating unquestionable musical excellence and talent, inductees will have had a significant impact on the development, evolution and preservation of rock & roll.

So you're saying there's a chance!

Really he should be a lock, and when he gets there, the powers that be should say, "thank you for helping keep live music, really alive"! He is a true music icon in every sense of the word. At age 70 he still sells out all across the land, and delivers a high quality performance. If it weren't so serious it would be a joke. I hope the day will come that we get to honor him while he's still making music.
