Beastie Boys are in. Bob Welch and Rush are not. 'nuff said about what a joke the RR Hall of Fame has made itself.
It's been a joke from the beginning, even worse than "The Grammys". The one time I visited the place, about 10 years ago, I noticed they had a "Rob" Argent display. Pathetic.
I once saw a list of acts that were "enshrined" on the "hip hop" side of this "hall of fame" and never heard of half of them. Now, I can't say I'm a big fan of rap and hip hop - - I prefer music - - but either I'm really, really out of the loop, or the people who determine the candidates have an agenda more considerate of political correctness than talent and longevity.
