to take your boring... and kick it up a notch..

who cares....  one of my favorite rites of the internet for many years, now denied me thanks the stupidity of the R&R HOF, was reading all the indignation at Rush being passed over as only a bunch of undersexed adolescenes could muster.

now that they are.. do YOU feel validated... does it help you get through your days.. did it help in the slightest to get you any pussy, clear your cases of bad acne...or liven your sad pathetic existences...

hah... of course not. 

so.... again.. who cares... LOL

The R&R HoF is something like music's equivalent for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The only reason I would care if YES made it in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is I'm sure several of the members of YES would like it.    YES has given me so many great moments over the years so I hope they make it.

But, as Raff indicated with Purple, it is highly doubtful that all members of Yes, past and present, would be inducted, including important, albeit for only one album, members such as Moraz. Would Rabin get a place, given the current difficulties with Howe and Anderson? Highly doubtful.

Not that Tull will ever get in (and I am certain at this point it will never happen, given the asininity of the proceedings), but just think of the band member mayhem that would create (and not including folks like Toni Iommi, Phil Collins and Tony Williams who were there very briefly). You would have to wade through:

Ian Anderson
Martin Barre (if he even wants to step on stage with Ian again)...

Guitarists
Mick Abrahams
Maartin Allcock
Florian Opahle

Bassists
Glenn Cornick (deceased)
Jeffrey Hammond
John Glascock (deceased)
Dave Pegg (because Fairport will never get in either)
Jonathon Noyce
David Goodier

Drums
Clive Bunker
Barriemore Barlow
Mark Craney
Don Airey
Gerry Conway
Doane Perry

Keyboards
John Evan
Dee Palmer
Eddie Jobson (because Roxy Music will never get in either)
Peter John Vettese
Andrew Giddings
John O'Hara

Certainly, there are eras most Tull fans would prefer. It would be nice to see Barlow and Bunker playing drums on the same stage with Dave Pegg and Martin Barre, but from what I've heard John Evan and Jeffrey Hammond haven't played for decades. Perhaps a "Kiss-and-Make-Up" Final Tour.

The RnR pile of sh*t discussion again? A waste of time and money, and I still don't feel good about Rush being there. Despite Alex' wonderful speech at the induction, which sums up the HoF perfectly.

Ah, now I get the whole picture. Donald Trump was imitating Alex all the time  Big smile 
Alex Lifeson for president !
You may see a smile on Tony Banksī face but thatīs unlikely.

Yeah I thought about that as well. Tom Hanks is about as rock n roll as Burt Reynolds is punk.

Tom Hanks? Where on earth do you see him? I hope you're not referring to Neal trying to keep a straight face in the background? LOL

^ Move him down the list to the appropriate spot. It may take some imagination, but I think you can do it.

His albums "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Book of Dreams" from mid 70īs are brilliant.

Has anyone been to the R&R Hall of Fame? It's a museum dedicated to rock. So if they called it the Rock and Roll Museum, I'd have no problem with it - a guitar Hendrix played, some stage props from Pink Floyd, Ringo's drums sticks, a drop of sweat from Elvis collected in a jar, a wisp of Jim Morrison's curls.
I checked it out a couple of years ago (something to do while stuck in Cleveland besides getting drunk) and while I was passing through their merchandise store, their RRHoF radio station or whatever they called it pumping out from the speakers started playing ELP's "From the Beginning". Some dude nearby started mouthing along to the lyrics. Didn't notice any ELP relics in the place though, but I did see a Katy Perry dress. Thought it was weird to hear that song in there, as I was thinking Miss Perry would probably be inducted before ELP.
