That's a good point, Jacob,
Whether the Ventures get into the RRHOF or not, they will always be the freaking
Ventures and have been a major influence on millions. There are groups that are
better at different things, such as groups that are more energitic or groups
that have a better stage show but as a package, the Ventures were pretty
awesome. They wrote more great instros than any group I can think of. Check out
the "Swingin' Creepers" tribute for a start.
I think the Ventures are going about it wrong with the petition thing. Duane
Eddy got into the RRHOF because John Fogerty wanted him there and influenced the
other RRHOF voters. The Ventures need another high profile John Fogerty type on
their side.

I have never once heard a Ventures song on 97.3 who was sponsoring the
concert.
I think the Ventures are trying to hard to get into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame. It isn't like it will make their career any more
illustrious. They are the freaking Ventures. They have influenced
millions of people.
Besides there are better groups than the Ventures but I guess the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame doesn't exactly go on most deserving but most
popular.
Eric was the concert a few years ago at the Skychurch with Los
Straitjackets? The drummer in our band was at that one. His Dad's
friend put that concert on.
