So who are we left with? Stevie and Lindsey? What are you thinking, John? If I had to guess between those two, I would definitely guess Lindsey.

I can't see Stevie being that petty. What reason would she have to not want Bob inducted?

For the record, I don't really see what Lindsey would have against Bob either and I have to really stretch my imagination to think he would pull such a scheme, but if I had to guess between the two of them...

Then again, these are just my perceptions of people I don't actually know. So...

I think Stevie and Lindsey would have been on the same page, but I think the page was to get themselves in the HOF, not to keep Bob out. If they were skating in on a technicality, then they may have been pretty motivated not to draw any more attention to themselves by insisting Bob not be inducted...

not to get to far OT, but after the beatles/aerosmith and the rolling stones, i believe the number 4 and 5 selling bands are KISS who influenced zillions and may be responsible for the LA Hair band days and RUSH, who has influenced EVERY rock/metal band since...

so if the criteria is influenced many musical peers over 3 decades they both win and if it is large sales, then they both win.

however, neither are in the Hall of Shame - yet Madonna and the Beastie boys are, and regardless of your tastes we ALL know that neither fit in the ROCK category at all...

I dunno. Sabotage was pretty rockin'. I thin Kiss, Rush, the Guess Who (or anything involving Randy Bachman), and Yes are long, long overdue. I suspect all of the line-up changes on all but Rush makes them nervous.

Will they let John Rutsy in?

He was on one of their signature songs. He's not Neal Peart, but there are people in it who've done less.

Wendy became a little miffed when he suggested Christine, and didn't know who Graves was.

I felt in the first place all the members of Fleetwood Mac from 1967 thru today or back in 1998 when the inducted whoever was in the fleetwood mac band during that time should have been inducted in as the whole band not a certain part of the band. which I believe are 16 members in all should have all been inducted and shame on mick fleetwood for not contacting all the members that were not present.

Wendy Welch · #10 03-23-2013, 11:02 PM

Christine did keep Bob Welch out of the HOF. and Mick couldn't turn her down. But the fact is that Bob was a pro rata share member of Fleetwood Mac and no one should have been able to keep him out of the HOF> He earned it! and he deserved to be in it. And that wrong still needs to be righted. I have to do that for Bob!

Also, I would like to say that this is the first time I have ever posted on this site. and I am very irritated. Bob never exaggerated anything, in fact he underplayed everything. Bob and I know the truth, 90% of which I can't talk about because of a gag order. So anything we have to say is the truth and nothing but the truth. I don't like him being put down for what he rightfully should have had and deserves. I hope you understand this battle. It may be 15 years after the fact, but it is never too late to right a wrong. He cared very much about the RRhOF and should have been inducted. He was very hurt because of a very vindictive move on someone's part that should have never happened. You should all understand that this is something he earned and deserves no matter how much time has passed. It is the one thing I will fight to right for him. He was a very important member of Fleetwood Mac and should be treated as such. He wrote and sang 1/2 of the songs on five albums, and played guitar on all of them, and did move them to their success in the US. No one can change that fact.

( Bob's wife Forever) and his sole heir, beneficiary, and administrator of his estate. By the way I inherited his facebook page and own it. and always presented my self as Wendy and never impersonated Bob, as someone claimed i did.

Wendy, first of all I wish to offer my condolences on your husband's passing. Thank you for posting here. It's fitting that your post is #110 as I support your efforts 110%. Bob was definitely an integral part of FM and deserves all the credit and respect which he is due. Until the day he is finally inducted in the RRHOF, this will remain a glaring and shameful omission.

HomerMcvie · #12 03-24-2013, 03:14 AM

Wendy, we all KNOW that Bob deserves to be in the RRHOF. Hopefully Mick will get off his lazy butt, and do something about it(I doubt it, though, unless he could make $50 bucks off of doing so).
But I sincerely hope that we get Bob in, eventually. He deserves it as much as ANY of them.

Wendy Welch · #13 03-24-2013, 06:47 PM

Thank you so much for your support. That is the most Bob or I could hope for!

To Wendy Welch: Thanks so much for posting here! Your husband was amazingly talented. I appreciate his music so much. I also appreciated how nice he was to fans. There was at least twice over the last 15 years that I emailed a question to him and he very nicely took his time to answer me.

I know. Bob and I had several exchanges on his site. He was extremely down to Earth, and a very pleasant guy. That touched me very much...

Come on, MICK. Do something that doesn't involve you making a buck! Do the right thing!
