Also, there is an effort to nominate Dick Dale to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

I checked the R&R HoF's website, and got this:

"All aspects of the induction process are handled by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
It can be reached at: 

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation
1290 Avenue of the Americas, Second Floor
New York, NY 10104.

The Foundation does not have e-mail available."

IMHO It's blasphemy that Madonna is in but not Dick Dale, who INVENTED the "Louder and Faster" style of guitar  over a half a century ago,
and has been tearing it up ever since!

When Sam Dunn did  "The Evolution of Metal," he started his series with an interview with Dick Dale!

So please mail the above address if you have some extra time and a stamp. Thanx
