I'm glad somebody gets it, and my hat's off to Dolly on this one.

Seems Dolly Parton is asking to be removed from the RnR HoF list because she's not qualified, (e.g. not a rock and roll musician).
Good for Dolly! I hope it starts a trend but I don't think it will.

And, Dionne Warwick agrees with Dolly:

I'm for anything that makes the RNRHOF look foolish. Even though they do a great job of that themselves.

I was a little disappointed a week or two ago when I saw Parton had backtracked on her initial statement about it, and would now accept the honor if she were to be inducted. Oh well.
On the other hand, Rob Halford's statement about it is hilarious. “All I want is a self(ie) with Dolly Parton.”

Knowing how the Hall operates, I really wonder if she'd have gotten the nod had she not initially spoken out against it.

Another note, Judas Priest has their own set of possible drama when it comes to "Who'll show up?"
Guitarist / founder KK Downing has been out of the band since 2010, and he and Priest didn't seem to part on the best of terms. As of right now, he's said he's not sure if he'll attend the ceremony but says "a lot can happen."

Yesterday I put on Joe Rogan's new interview with Jann Wenner. I'd never read or heard a Wenner interview, other than those he conducted occasionally. Never one with him as the interviewee.
My god, I was so bored and disappointed. He wasn't remotely interesting, despite having undeniably lived an interesting life. In fact, he seemed like the most cookie-cutter ex-hippie turned rich Democrat I could imagine. Literally everything he said was just a combination of cliches and New York Times opinion pages. It was really tedious.
So going forward, I'll feel even less bad about dismissing his opinions as the Arbiter of Cool. Everything he said just screamed "pretentious has-been rich ex-hippie." Everybody has a right to his opinion, but to (seemingly) honestly believe one's own opinions are absolutely correct? Ugh.

110% what I'd expect.

With each passing year, I find I care a little less about the trolls at the RNRHOF. I have no doubt that Eddie Trunk will be ranting and raving about it, but at this point, getting mad at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is like getting mad at a baby for waking you up in the middle of the night.

That's how I feel about it. Once you know what something is, it is a waste of energy to get upset about it being what it is. "The sun came up again this morning, damnit! Stupid sun! It better not rise again tomorrow morning, I tell ya..." (Good recipe for being continuously upset.)
