You Hank Jr, one of the absolute best country stars ever is not in the Hall of Fame either. complete garbage who gets in and who doesn’t and these instances just go to prove it takes a lot of politicking and brown nosing to get in.
Idiot.
With Jann Wenner involved it helps a lot if the artists are fags. I love that pre Buckingham-Nicks stuff.
Welch’s death is a reminder to how personal and fragile some of the musicians of our lifetime view their career. Welch never got over being dismissed from the Hall and he never held ill will toward Mac’s success.
Just a quick reminder...as of 2012...artists and bands currently NOT in the rock and roll hall of fame..keep in mind this is a list of 10% of artists who are eligible as of 2012...AND this quote from Wenner who stated why they had to start inducting rap and hip hop acts quote! “We are starting to run out of rock and roll acts so we have to open new doors”.
