Suzi Quatro - Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame

Now, the Sex Pistols see it as a piss stain but Suzi wouldn't say no to being inducted into the Hall of Fame and good on her.

I had a Suzi Quatro morning this morning, selecting her to listen to on the way to work and it was great to hear 'Back to the Drive' again (the title track from her latest album - I love it when she says, 'I'm back!'). That made me log onto her website to see if there's any news about a tour, but there isn't (do I detect sighs of relief from Enfield?).

Instead there was a link to a site with the sole purpose of getting Suzi inducted into the Hall of Fame. I'm all for that! Suzi was such an influence and one of the great unsung heroes of rock that she deserves it. But, apparently, the Hall of Fame doesn't accept emails... eh? Which century are we living in?

The site says:

We need everyone’s help and support: Please send an entry by printing and filling in the form letter below, or feel free to compose your own letter telling the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame what Suzi’s music means to you and why you think she deserves to be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. (Please note that original letters have more influence on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Committee). Please mail all letters to the below address, as the Rock Hall of Fame does not accept emails.

Go for it Suzi!

Now... where did I put that postcard of a young Suzi in leathers from the National Portrait Gallery ....
