LETTER TO THE EDITOR: (April 21, 2010)
Help Get Buddy Holly His Hollywood
Star
Dear Rockabilly Hall Of Fame,
My name is Kevin
Magowan. I live in Los Angeles and work in the music industry in music
clearance, licensing and supervision. I am working on getting Buddy Holly his
Hollywood Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Its true he doesnt have one.
Buddy Holly is the only artist in the first class of the Rock & Roll Hall Of
Fame without a Hollywood Star.
The funds have been raised by
Buddy's two music publishers and Universal Records for the required $25,000.00
fee to purchase the star. The deadline for the submission of the Walk of Fame
nomination form is May 31st 2010. Only one posthumous person will be selected
this June for an induction ceremony sometime next year in 2011 which would have
been Buddy Holly's 75th birthday. I am a personal friend and associate of Buddy
Holly's widow Maria Elena Holly and she is in full support of this effort.
I've started a Facebook group account through Kevin
Magowan called "Get Buddy Holly A Star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame."
I'm coming to you to see if you can help to promote this effort and point
your audience to my Facebook to build members that I will include in the
submission package to the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce along with other letters
of support around the third week in May next month.
The selection
process is very competitive and we do not know who else is being considered so
we want to stand out and make it clear that it is now Buddy Holly's turn to get
his Hollywood Star to help insure that his legacy does "Not Fade Away" and will
continue to "Rave On." This total Facebook membership would be included in the
submission package to The Hollywood Chmber Of Commerce with other letters of
support form the industry.
Thank you for your consideration and
assistance with this request.
"Rave On"
Kevin
