[My Favorite Headache]

Jann Wenner (Obama's boy) Rolling Stone Editor, US Magazine Owner, and one of the head founders and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame pushed this man into a deep depression as it was his decision not to include him in the rock and roll hall of fame.

People better step up with the hall of fame..a lot of rockers are dropping like crazy that should have been inducted years if not decades ago. A total disgrace that Welch did not get in. RIP.

You Hank Jr, one of the absolute best country stars ever is not in the Hall of Fame either. complete garbage who gets in and who doesn’t and these instances just go to prove it takes a lot of politicking and brown nosing to get in.

[EGPWS]

Ebony Eye’s.

[stratman1969]

That’s too bad. I had the 45 of Ebony Eyes when it came out. Sentimental Lady and Precious Love were great songs as well.

R.I.P.

[Jet Jaguar]

Obama Fault.

[Happy Rain]

Wow, Paris “Big Towne 2061” was one of my all time stoner favorites—especially the haunting title song.

RIP bro.

[Jet Jaguar]

Obama’s fault.

I just heard this on the radio news break...how awful. Bob Welch was part of a wonderful, underrated era of Fleetwood Mac that was sadly forgotten upon the arrival of Buckingham/Nicks. He wrote and sang some truly beautiful songs...some spiritual, some rockin’...and they all took the listener someplace else, someplace good.

RIP

[JennysCool]

What a snub that was! Particularly since other former Mac members WERE inducted! WTF?

"seems like a dream, they got you hypnotized..."

RIP

If you’re a true musician- you should play your instrument or compose music for the sheer joy of it. If you’re in it for the “awards”, then you’re a hack.

[Mad Dawgg]

I Enjoyed his Era of Fleetwood Mac. And I Enjoyed his Solo Career. It said he had health problems. If he was looking at a dreadful ending via disease I can understand his choice of Suicide. I’ve had friends and family die horrible deaths hooked up to machines and living in constant pain. Hopefully he is at peace.

[BeAllYouCanBe]

"He had been suffering from health issues and left a suicide note."

Many meds bring on depression and makes sense that he would do this after a successful life.

Fleetwood Mac...thought it was a fancy cheeseburger...must be older than I thought...back to sleep...

Beastie Boys are in. Bob Welch and Rush are not. 'nuff said about what a joke the RR Hall of Fame has made itself.

[VeniVidiVici]

Concussions caused by too many solos.

[skimask]

Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, and John McVie. Kiln House was the album. That is who Fleetwood Mac were.

You are saying that Wenner is responsible for Welch's suicide? Good luck with that one.

[STD]

I've been a huge fan of Bob's and followed FM a longtime before their AM radio success. Saw him playing with the band twice Mic Fleeturd was soo wasted that Welch had to carry him. I wish I could have sent him an e-mail to tell him how much his music soothed me when I had my trials!

Who else has Jan slandered? Can you tell me please? I'll be happy to tell them how valuable they were to us. Thanks and FReegards

[wardaddy]

damn shame indeed MFH

i saw his era Mac in the early 70s...how he could handle Danny Kirwan is enough cause to get inducted by itself

i live here around so many of that generation rockers and of course kuntry music folks

i ate lunch at Noshville Green Hills yesterday 20 feet from Steve Winwood and his kids...nearly grown now

so accessible and carrying on with the staff there...i left him alone but did want to tell him how much his music framed my early years in the late 60s and early 70s

i go to church with Jason Aldean out where I live now...

talked to Chris Hillman at a wine store a few months ago

saw JD Souther at dinner here in Franklin down the bar from me at Red Pony..last month

Sarah Evans at same joint recently...gorgeous...in a thin phase

Gretchen Wilson and Charlie Daniels and Clint Black wash at my car washes that I see repeatedly

I watched Kid Rock’s new Ferrari 599 unloaded in front of his West End digs a few weeks ago

and so it goes here...it’s pretty constant

my point being Nashville and environs are very cool for music celebs regardless the genre or generation and except for tourists on Lower Broad folks leave them alone though it took restraint to spare Mr Fantasy I admit

so it’s sad that for some it’s not so good and in the end they take their lives....Bob Welch..who was so great in the 70s...Stuart Adamson the lead singer for Big Country...another causualty....Townes Van Zandt...suicide by drink...

the pain they must have to have experienced the peaks an unequipped to handle the lows...so sad

btw Wenner is a pederast cakeboy...what can we expect...That Metal Show headbangers are right...TRRHOF sux

[Lancey Howard]

It’s a shame that the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” is taken seriously by so many people. Jann Wenner is a worthless scumbag.

Anyway, I was a huge Fleetwood Mac fan up UNTIL the pop era of Buckingham/Nicks, and finally got to see the guy who founded the band, Peter Green, about 12 years ago. Those first few albums, especially ‘English Rose’ and ‘Then Play On’, are still among my most cherished albums. ‘Kiln House’ (the first record after Peter Green left the band) was decent enough, but then Jeremy Spencer left and after that the band just wasn’t the same. The Bob Welch era, peaking with ‘Mystery to Me’, produced some good material but was not all that memorable, IMO.
