His video "Amish Paradise" is pure genius.
Flame away and have fun.
who cares? They hardly nominate actual rock for a very long time now
My favorite Weird Al song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qYF9DZPdw
He could just tell them to just Eat It.
One of his best.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has been a jole since at least 2007.
Yes it is. I love his stuff. So clever.
For sure he has as much reason to be there as Dolly Parton or anybody else. (All respect to Dolly, who didn’t understand why she would be inducted, but happily accepted it in stride.)
Is there no one left in “rock and roll” who is happy to be the rebel? The outsider? Notorious for simply _not_ being in it?
When I saw that building that I.M. Pei put together, I thought: of course, he put together a monument to a form of music that eschews monuments. A permanent memorial to music that lives in the moment with the motto ‘you had to be there.’
It’s just me, I’m sure, but when I read that some one or group has been inducted, I read it like a loss to “rock-and-roll.” They haven’t broken in, they’ve been captured. Taken from the wild, tamed, and put in the “rock-and-roll” zoo.
Flame away!
LOVE “Weird Al”! Definitely should be honored as brilliant!

The RnR HoF is a joke in many ways.
For but one of dozens of examples, Jethro Tull is not in it, but CHER is!? LOLOLOL
Jan Wenner is an idiot. Convince me otherwise.
While putting him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be a good thing, I’d really love to see him do the halftime of a Super Bowl. It’ll be a thousand times better than anything they’ve had for the last few years.
(And I’d hope they kick it off with ‘Dare To Be Stupid’)
He is a musical genius- yeah, he went weird, but he really is an accomplished musician
I don’t really know how rock and roll is defined.
I think I know it when I hear it, when hearing music by a group such as Van Halen.
But is Billy Joel considered rock? Paul Simon? Kim Carnes?
The Bee Gees? Men at Work from the land down under? Rod Stewart? Cat Stevens? Gordon Lightfoot? Pat Benetar?
That guy who did music chart countdowns, KC Kasem, always talked about the rock era of music, implying that the modern music he was playing in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, was all some version of rock and roll. I’ve heard some say that disco music was part of the evolution of rock and roll.
So if Cher is rock, how many others are also considered rock and roll musicians.
Watch Weird AL do a Killer Parody
on this So Called ‘Hall of Shame!”
.
Al and Ted Nugent should Roast’em!
If you Eat it you might get Fat and have to go on the Grapefruit Diet.
Your Horoscope for Today says you'll Dare to be Stupid and ignore the Virus Alert because you think It's all about the Pentiums.
Forget that. He otta be in the cabinet.
Weird Al can’t be inducted. They are adding too many Country artists to include him also.
I’m still waiting for Johnny Rivers.
I hope Weird Al gets inducted soon.
Because he plays the accordion.
Well the Jackson 5 has been in there since 1997, and since Wayne Osmond died on New Years Day I say it’s time to get the Osmond Brothers in there too. They’re not getting any younger and they sold close to 80 million records.
