Perhaps this should be merged with thread on the Pre-Rumours board?

Part of me is definitely cheering on Wendy for standing up for Bob's legacy, and for pushing back at the Rumours crew for their elitist nonsense. As many of us know, everyone from Bob to Judy Wong & Ken Caillat have been/were frozen out of contact with the Rumours folks. But the other part of me is thinking Wendy should do her dirty laundry outside of the public/fan's eyes. I know she's grieving over the tragic death of her husband, but I'm not sure Bob would have wanted to get into the RRHOF through public guilt & bullying.

I'm sure he will write about it, but I don't think we'll get the honest story.

I guess I am confused - were the Rumours lineup the only members of Fleetwood Mac to get inducted? For some reason, I believed it was all of the former members.

No. Just Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, and Danny Kirwan. Peter Green was with the band during the induction, but played "Black Magic Woman" with Santana.

Thanks, guys, for the clarification. It makes sense to me that Billy and Rick and Dave and Becka were excluded.

And how about Bob Brunning (the very first bass player, what if John MacVie would have rejected all along?) and Bob Weston?

At a minimum, it should have been Mick, John, Christine, Stevie, Lindsey, Peter, Jeremy, Danny, Welch, Burnette, and Vito. Mason, BTW, was inducted as a member of Traffic, which was very appropriate. Quote:

Anyway, a look at past inductees shows that, as far as the Hall is concerned, rock and blues are pretty much the same thing. There are country and jazz artists in there, too. BLUES Hank Ballard Bobby “Blue” Bland Charles Brown Ruth Brown Leonard Chess Willie Dixon Buddy Guy John Lee Hooker Howlin’ Wolf Elmore James Etta James Little Willie John Robert Johnson Louis Jordan Albert King B.B. King Freddie King Leadbelly Little Walter Jelly Roll Morton Ma Rainey Jimmy Reed Bessie Smith Big Joe Turner T-Bone Walker Muddy Watters Jimmy Yance JAZZ Herb Alpert & Jerry Moss Louis Armstrong LaVern Baker Charlie Christian Miles Davis Billie Holiday Dinah Washington COUNTRY Chet Atkins Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys Floyd Cramer Jimmy Rogers Hank Williams BLUEGRASS Bill Monroe FOLK Woody Guthrie Pete Seeger AND, OF COURSE... Ray Charles (the ultimate cross-over artist, but not necessarily a rock-n-roller)

I'm sorry to say this but why didn't they do anything when Bob was still alive?? They were inducted in 1998, he passed in 2012, that's 14(!!!) years later. Enough time to start petitions, contacting Mick, air dirty laundry about Christine etc. I understand that they want him inducted (I was very surprised he wasn't) but if Bob was so eager about it, why didn't he do anything about it himself? Or did he? BTW, on Mick's Facebook page a certain Gary Strade says that Lindsey signed the petition and commented that Bob should've been inducted alongside him... I don't know that I believe that.... He also posted the same thing on Fleetwood's on Front Street page. It's mostly him and Wendy Welch.

Wendy says on her Facebook page that Lindsey said a few years back that Bob should be in the RRHOF and she appreciated that, so that's in keeping with him signing a petition to that effect.
