I got a touch of discussion about this on some other lists.  If the 
membership of the organization is mostly philanthropists and music industry 
professionals, it's curious they don't respect Pete more.  Mc, I somehow 
doubt we'll be able to pack enough Whofans into the membership to influence 
the vote, so another strategy might be in order.

I'm not sure Whofans can do more than harass them with some emails, but do 
you suppose they allow campaigning during the voting process?

Maybe Pete should ask for a copy of the membership roster and send all of 
them a copy of THE WHO'S GREATEST HITS, with "Who Are You" and "Won't Get 
Fooled Again" as heard on CSI, and "Substitute" as heard in SCHOOL OF ROCK, 
and "Magic Bus" as heard in JERRY MCGUIRE, and "Baba O'Riley" as heard in 
etc., etc.?

Or do you suppose it's like the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?  Maybe 
he should send a large donation that might be noted in their newsletter.

What about the rest of you guys?  What do you suppose the key to this honor 
is?
