Lovely music...Tuesday Afternoon...I can hear the flute...
Rock and Roll HOF sucks.
There is something special about that song; Tuesday Afternoon. It’s somewhat hypnotic, and very easy to find one’s self dissolving into the rhythms, tempo, and talk-sang narrations. Good driving music down a long and winding road.
Yeah. I think it's a better badge of honor to be a long-lasting band and _not_ be in it.
Personally, I love prog-rock music. But, really, it ain't rock-n-roll. I'm fine with it. But when I see acts patting themselves on the back for "finally" getting in, it makes me a little mad _and_ sad.
I mean, if rock-n-roll music is really about irreverence and fun and being outsiders, why do you want to be "in" a hall-of-fame? That's such an establishment thing. Just rock! Do your thing! Get paid and meet good folks doing it! Who cares if you aren't in some POS HOF?
…And have folks seen the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame? It's such a typical I.M. Pei glass and triangles monstrosity that the last thing you would imagine it being is a shrine(!) to rock-n-roll!

Can’t believe the Moodies are not in the Hall of Fame. I wasn’t a fan of Thomas’ work, particularly, although “Dear Diary” was a great song. Still, I am sorry to see him go.
Moody Blues songs were like original series Star Trek episodes. The good ones were very, very good. The bad ones were awful.
