• The Hollywood Rock Walk has expressed some interest in having John Cipollina as an indcutee. Located at the site of the famed Oriental Theatre (now Guitar Center Hollywood) Hollywood's RockWalk® has honored such creatively diverse and equally as accomplished individuals and groups such as Aerosmith, Van Halen, Johnny Cash, Dick Clark, Willie Dixon, The Doobie Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, KISS, Les Paul, John Lee Hooker, The Moody Blues, Phil Ramone and Smokey Robinson.

  Unlike Hollywood's Walk of Fame, which allows the public to submit nominations for future inductees, all Hollywood's RockWalk® inductees are chosen solely by past honorees.   But John's fans can help by contacting the folks at the Rock Walk web site and letting them know that John Cipollina should be an inductee.  Click here for Contact info
