If you want to help Dennis get into the Rock Hall, it's going to take consistently getting his name out there so that he's noticed by the right people. So what can you do as a fan to help the campaign?
1) Talk about Dennis and Pacific Ocean Blue on Social Media
Follow me and share/retweet my Dennis posts. Talk about his accomplishments (keep in mind he's in with the Beach Boys, so while his work with them matters, POB is what will get him in solo), blog about him, post positive reviews of POB. Keep an eye on the Rock Hall's social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and bring up Dennis as induction worthy whenever possible. If you use hashtags, be sure to include the Rock Hall in that mix so they start getting linked. Any combination of these hashtags is great:
#RockHall
#InductDennis
#DennisWilson
2) Be Nice!
If you interact with the Rock Hall or tag them in something, please be civil! If and when Dennis is mentioned in Rock Hall voter discussions I want the conversation to center around his talent and accomplishments, not on his fan's behavior. At the end of the day, this is for Dennis. He was a fun-loving, kind and giving person and I don't think he would want anyone to be rude or mean on his behalf.
3) Vote on Future Rock Legends
This is not an official poll, but you can go to Dennis' page on Future Rock Legends and vote that yes he should be inducted. I'm pretty confident that major people from the Rock Hall follow his site, so seeing a jump in Dennis' numbers couldn't hurt!
4) Tell a Friend!
If someone tells you they haven't heard of Pacific Ocean Blue or of Dennis, remedy the situation! Loan them a copy, point them to a streaming service, just have them listen to it. Educate people about him and his accomplishments. If people are talking about Dennis' work that means it's alive and relevant, and it's still touching people 40 years after its release. It also means those people will talk about it on social media and recommend it to others, which mean's Dennis' name will continually be put out there. Tell them about my social media pages and have them follow me to stay up to date on the latest!
5) If you happen to be a family member or personal friend of Dennis...
I'd be thrilled to have you involved! Feel free to contact me on email, Twitter or Facebook! And if you see anything on my site or social media that is incorrect, offensive or what have you, please let me know and I will make edits immediately! I want this project to be something that truly honors Dennis and something his friends and family can be proud of, so don't hesitate to reach out to me if you want to add or change anything!
