Oh wow, that is great news! He should be here to see this happening in person, though I'm sure he'll be looking down with a very big smile on his face. It's about time.

anyone wanna take a road trip to hollywood??

lol

hue_mee · 06-19-2004, 08:11 AM

Cheryl. I don't know if they will show the full ceremony of the star presentation. I was in Hollywood when the Monkees got there's. My friends attended the ceremony from a FAR DISTANCE. As I stood in line at the hotel banquet room awaiting front row seats for all four guys for a news conference. Well anyways.. I was able to receive a copy of the actual ceremony from the guy who video taped it. My guess is if anyone of us is lucky enought to be able to be there, find someone who is close enough to video tape it and make an offer and ask for a copy.

that the reason they waited so long was because the circumstances of the way Freddie died, they wouldn't consider him for a star than, but even so when his Mom was able to have the ruling changed to accidental he should have gotten his star than.

"To get their names chiseled into one of the highly sought-after plaques, stars need to be nominated by admirers who are also willing and able to pony up $15,000, should the nominee be selected.
Eligible celebs must be at least five years into their twinkling careers and must agree to show up for the unveiling of their star--which can be a taxing duty for your average A-lister. Then there are the star recipients who won't be in attendance at their unveiling ceremonies...because they're dead."
Star eligibility for walk of Fame

I knew all along that this was more than stars getting their due.... ever since some of us on here talked about Freddie being honored... I remember having conversations with a couple of the Chico chicks a few years ago about how the Monkees got their star.... and about the fund raising it took. I still don't think it is less of an honor when the fans have to go and raise the money for the walk, but that is a factor.
