To: a fool in paradise

They should just rename it the “Pop Music Hall of Fame.”

I'm a member so I get to call the members phone line and rant. Being a member means nothing except a tee shirt, free admission, a members phone line, a really lousy members day, and a patronizing vote about which of three stupid "artifacts" to display.

The problem is that the R/R HOF removed the ashes without a stated policy about what could and could not be displayed. Another problem is that they have one of Beyonce's dresses on display but Alan Freed's ashes are unacceptable. My suggestion was that they should've had us members vote on keeping the ashes instead of their annual stupid vote. FWIW, the lady at the membership desk was a real tool, just reading from her fact sheet even when I threw a trick question or two at her.

For all that, it's worth visiting the Rock Hall at least once.

Except.....Moody Blues have not been inducted. Madonna (etc ad nauseum) have.

Yeah no kidding. IIRC they already allow that rap garbage to be “inducted”.
