Get
what you crave
in
Hall
of Fame
The push is on! In 2001, to celebrate 80 years of White Castle Restaurants serving the world famous Slyder, the first fast food hamburger chain launched The Cravers Hall of Fame. Alas, in its first five years of existence the hallowed shrine for big league Slyder Cravers has overlooked the world's most deserving inductee---namely, the world's greatest rock and roll band, The Dictators. Now you can play an important role in correcting this glaring omission and return the universe to its proper harmonic balance. Stand Tall! Read and sign the petition below, and rest assured that your support will be forwarded to White Castle Headquarters in Columbus, OH. You need not be a Dictators fan (though it is difficult to imagine why you wouldn't). You need to have an interest in all that is just and righteous. The Dictators are as integral to White Castle as the little cardboard boxes in which the burgers are served.
Read and sign the petition yourself, and recruit your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, postal employees and anyone else by directing them to this page and proudly affirm by clicking here that:
I Want The Dictators in the White Castle Carvers Hall of Fame!
Hurry! The deadline is March 25.

Cravers Hall of Fame New York’s own, The Dictators, and hereby declare:

and scientific work for over three decades while always holding the Slyder as an
inspiration, and
WHEREAS:
No act in the history of entertainment has paid more homage to
WHEREAS:
The Dictators have never
failed to make White Castle one of the four food groups while incorporating
references to Slyders in their lifestyles, lyrics
and depictions of album cover art, and
WHEREAS:
The Dictators devoted an entire 12 inch by 12 inch photograph of
themselves, crew and patrons at a Bronx White Castle in 1974 to their first
album (see attached), and
WHEREAS:
It is common that Slyders
are tossed about with glee at many performances of The Dictators (a feat that is
now more easily accomplished with the convenience of the fine White Castle
frozen line), including shows in October, 2006 when the band closed the world
famous CBGB in New York City, and
WHEREAS:
Through their great work,
The Dictators have pointed countless thousands to crave White
WHEREAS:
The Dictators not so
secret, secret weapon, one Handsome Dick Manitoba (a/k/a The Handsomest Man in
Rock n Roll) in addition to his Dictators duties and those as proprietor of one
of Manhattan’s finest establishments: Manitoba’s,
also appears each weeknight from 8:00 until midnight (EDT) on Sirius Satellite
Radio Channel 25---Little Steven’s Underground Garage, thereby making
induction and White Castle an almost certain buzz of the airwaves, we are
RESOLVED: The
Dictators are as deserving inductees into the White Castle Cravers Hall of Fame
as is Babe Ruth into Cooperstown
, and to that end we proudly nominate The Dictators (Andy Shernoff, Handsome
Dick Manitoba, Ross the Boss, JP “Thunderbolt” Patterson and Scott “Top
Ten” Kempner) as deserving of the high honor and distinct privilege that
induction brings.
