News Tidbits:

Many Change.org petitions land in my email – but this is a great one. “Guess Who 4 The Hall”, a group from Winnipeg has launched a campaign wanting The Guess Who nominated for the Hall of Fame in 2021.Their campaign includes the Change.org petition.

Bands can be nominated 25 years after the release of their first recording. They began releasing music under the Guess Who name in 1965, with their first Top Ten US hit “These Eyes” in 1969. The Guess Who were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1987, the Canada Walk of Fame in 2001 and received the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award in 2002. There are only five other Canadian honorees in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, The Band, Rush, and Leonard Cohen.
