The Tweet is on! (cue "Beverly Hills Cop" music)
Today is the fiftieth birthday of not only the most successful comedy recording artist of all time but also rock and roll's premier satirist, "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Today is also our First Annual Make the Rock Hall "Weird" Tweet-In, a day-long event on Twitter where we want all fans of all walks of life to send a tweet to the Rock Hall requesting Al's induction.
Just be sure to properly format your tweet so that the Rock Hall receives it. Remember, to address them you need to include @rock_hall somewhere in your tweet. And please include the tag #WeirdAl. Let's turn this into a trending topic!
And don't forget, you can also follow our campaign on Twitter as well by going to our account @rockhallweird
One final little activity for today: the People's Choice Awards are now asking people to vote online for nominees in various categories. Feel free to write in Al's name in the appropriate categories, but be sure to cast your vote before moving on to the next section or it will not count: http://www.peopleschoice.com/pca/nominations/vote.jsp?pollId=300030&_requestid=19964
(Thanks to erkman27 for the heads up on this!)
So go out there and tweet!! We're doing it for the birthday boy!
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AL!
