Stevie Nicks--Rock N Roll Hall of Fame SOLO?

[Macfanforever]

What does It take to get Stevie a star on the Hollywood Walk a Fame.

She deserves a star by herself on the walk.

Its again pulling teeth doing that too.

If you have enough $$$ anyone can get a star on the walk of fame. I believe you have to apply for it, and if it's approved you just need to cough up the cash and you're in.

That's what I understand too, and I believe you have to appear at the unveiling. Stevie or her people would have to pursue it; campaigning by fans isn't enough.

Ok how does the artist get nominated for the RR H of F and from whom votes for them.How does this work.

That's done by the people on the board at the Rock Hall. It's basically a poplartity contest. They nominate who they think is deserving (there is a long list of artists that will most likely never get a nom simply because they aren't liked by the board). It's headed up by Jann Weiner who is also the editor of Rolling Stone magazine, so if the artist is a hit with RS then they wil get in the Hall sooner than later. Acts like KISS, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden etc will most likely never get in anytime soon just because they have never been darlings of Rolling Stone (this explains why Madonna made it in when she did, certainly is no Rock artist but is very popular with Rolling Stone).
Until this year members of the Hall had the exclusive vote on who got in, this year however it was opened up to fans which is why Heart and Rush have finally gotten their induction.
Stevie won't get a solo nomination any time soon because she is still thought of as a Fleetwood Mac member first and formost. She is considered a member of the hall already so there's no rush to get her in there solo.

Ok thank .I now understand how it works.I'm shocked that Kiss Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are not in it.They are true rock artists not like some of those are in there which are not even rock artists.
