There were more than a few emails objecting to Dave Marsh’s objection to the Ventures going into the Hall of Fame in 2008.us forgot to run the Marsh disclaimer with those quotes, “The views of Mr. Marsh are not necessarily the view of the reporter, or the Detroit News.”
Jim Meloche wrote: “I agree with Dave Marsh that there are countless groups and people who do not deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…but the most succesful instrumental group of all time (still touring with all of the living original members as recently as two years ago) deserved to be in a long time ago.”
Even the Ventures’ manager, who, it turns out, lives in Farmington Hills, weighed in.
Jack De Franco objected to Dave M.’s objection to the Ventures going into the Hall of Fame. “The original 3 guitar players are still active.us still tour.us still record. 2008 is our 50th anniversary.”
Bill Taylor, a former Detroiter now living in Cleveland, was another voice affirming the Ventures’ right to be inducted. “The influence them had on later rock guitarists is profound. Even Clapton has admitted that.”
