(was 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for Echo') Thats true. But at the same time, most of Chris's writings on here are so great, why limit it to those signed on to this list (300 or so?). not to kiss too much ass, but his stuff should be read by more than that. who knows, could draw him some fans and perhaps he can influence a few music listeners. Plus, posting a blog entry is just as easy, if not easier, than sending an email. And for me, there's a list of sites i run through each morning when i first log on, doesn't hurt to add another to check out. speaking of which, here's a few blogs i check out sometimes. Granted, not all of their stuff is great, but worth seeing what people are into: http://www.fluxblog.org/ http://www.ambitious-outsiders.com/ http://productshopnyc.com/ http://nufnuf.com/ I'm sure Chris's daily musings would be loads more interesting that these...

(was 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for  Echo') I see what yr saying. The Velvets' presence makes it that much cooler. If ya wanna do it, I say go ahead, especially if you think it'd be a fun project. My criticism of the institution wasn't intended to shoot yr idea down, man. - --Chris A. RossNTeka@aol.com wrote: I laid out my idea with the best of intentions, afterall, the Velvets are in there.
