Rock and Roll Hall of Fame reminded us that we need to honor you with the highest honor that Bay City can offer," the letter reads.

Madonna was considered for the honor back in 1985, but some thought she was too controversial--so much so in fact, that in the late 1980s, the city even refused to accept a sculpture of Madonna from an Italian artist, citing a belief that her popularity would fade in time.

President of the Bay Arts Council, Guy Greve, wants now to commission an artist to sculpt a statue of the singer. But is this a case of too little, too late.

Madonna has dramatically scrapped her two-year bid to adopt a Malawian girl.
Instead she will support the orphan financially from Britain.
The 49-year-old singer told aides she has been left “exhausted” by a mountain of red tape. Her adoption of Malawian son David Banda, two, was finalised this month. Pals were sure she would be bringing home Mercy, also two, as a sister for him.
But Madonna — who has two other children and is wed to Brit film director Guy Ritchie — feared another two years of legal wrangling.
A family friend said: “Madonna wanted to adopt a boy and a girl. But Mercy’s relatives objected and she had a complete turnaround. Everyone was stunned. Normally nothing will stop her. She now believes David will be the last child she adopts. Instead she will support orphans through her charity.
