How Can This Be?


Not why are Dolly Parton and Pat Benatar in the Rock & Rock Hall Of Fame.

But why are they only getting elected now?



In fact, why is Lionel Richie just getting elected now?  Why is Carly Simon  just getting elected? Why are the Eurythmics just getting elected?

And on the other side, who are all these other performers/groups - that I've never heard of  - getting elected at the same time all these very famous are?

Who the hell are the voters for this Hall of Fame?

In fact, who the hell [Ed. Note: let's all say it together, Okay Boomer.]

Thank you for the laugh on this cold sunny day in the center of "The Occupation".
I think the plan is to get as many people from as many genres as possible into the RRHOF while they're still alive (don't be thinking Keith Richard, he's an anomaly). I think if we start now, we can get Rob in.

I think once his "Nowhere In Particular" hits 1,000 views, he'll be on his way.

How can this be indeed?!
Dolly Parton in the R n R Hall of Fame?!?!? Really?!
Lionel Ritchie?! Really?!
Dionne Warwick?! Really?!
None of those folks ever recorded a R n R song, ever.
And the Guess Who and the Tragically Hip aren't in the R N R hall of fame!!
Now this fellow Greenfield, well, he's at 951 views for his one song, and 2991 views for the slide show of the same song. Heady numbers.
