The Rock And Hall Roll Hall Of Fame is the most anti-rock and roll concept known to man. In its own way, much worse than the Grammys, it is a privately owned club whereby Jann Wenner salutes his heroes and dolls out favors for the chosen.
The proof? The Monkees haven't made it.
I've never been to the Cleveland museum but I did make it to the New York annex till it was closed due to a monumental lack of interest. It was a drag, a bore, and a waste of time.
All well and good, right? I've said this before. What I haven't wondered is why Wenner's magazine is wasting a page of his magazine for an unpaid advertisement. In the March 15, Rolling Stone there is a big exclusive on "Rock History Comes Alive In Cleveland" -a four story library. Or as I like to call it GB.
Over and the entire uselessness of a rock and roll library in this day and age (why should people trot to Cleveland if they can get it on line?), is the question of whether Rolling Stones opinion is, how you say, tainted,
You betcha it's tainted. You show me one bad word about the Hall Of Fame in Stone. Just one. You can't. It is one exclusive piece of fluffy propaganda after another.
Look, I'll give em the MSG concerts, but that's it. People I know who have been there have found it a bore and I bet that's the least of it. And Rolling Stone? Is atrophying before our eyes.
