Jann Wenner is also the pompous fame whore who has singlehandedly destroyed any credibility that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame might have had by taking over the board and using it to dole out honors to his hip pals instead of those who are truly deserving. This is the guy who overturned a vote in favor of inducting the Dave Clark Five so he could install rapper Grandmaster Flash instead. And we should listen to his opinions on who should be president?
DC5 get inducted finally into the Rock N Roll Hall of fame on March 10 on Vh1. I cannot wait, this will be a great thing to see Mike Smith get the honor while he is still alive (he is in bad shape with the paralysis from 2003).
Wenner will never let the Moody Blues, Yes, Jethro Tull, Grand Funk, or any of those ilk get into the Hall of Fame. He is a jerk, frankly, and the hall will be soon polluted with rappers and pop stars instead of real rockers. Madonna is now in the Hall...what is next, Britney in 2015?
