The R&R Hall of fame is a real sham. The board of people who select the nominees all have their own adgenda, lots of worthy artists/bands have been submitted and lots get smacked down due to personal bias, instead of looking at their track records.
What I hope for as far as Gordon is concerned is one of two things. Highest on my list is that the Grammy people will single him out for a lifetime achievement award. He certainly has the hit records and career longevity for it...and, this may sound cynical, but his recent illness may wake some people up to the fact that no one is around forever. Second in priority is the American Music Awards. Now, I don't know if Gord has had any kind of relationship with Dick Clark over the years, but a lifetime award on the AMA would be great. Dick decides everything that goes on with that show, it's his baby.
