Not the Rock Hall of Fame

Every couple of months or so, Boy Wonder has to do the custody thing with the Wicked Witch of the North, who lives in Canton, OH. I went once to see the Football Hall of Fame - well worth the visit.

Now, I love music - I've got around 1,400 CD's. I'd been thinking of going with him on an overnighter in order to get to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I just had a look at who's in and who's out.

Did you know that over half of the people and groups in the Hall are either Rap, Soul, R&B, Blues - even Country. There's also one hit wonders like Buffalo Springfield.

Who's not in?
  • George Thorogood
  • Ted Nugent
  • Jethro Tull
  • Grand Funk Railroad
  • Jimmy Buffett
  • Alice Cooper
  • Deep Purple
  • Joe Walsh
  • Steve Miller Band
  • Ozzy Osbourne
  • Thin Lizzie
  • Ten Years After
  • Stevie Ray Vaughan
  • Warren Zevon

And a bunch of others who are actual rockers.

I don't think I'll waste my money - Hard Rock Cafes have more tributes to real rockers.

    Yeah...Calling the place "The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame" is quite the JOKE.

    On some of our Hard Rock/Classic Rock Fan Forum's we refer to the place as "The Hall of Shame"

    Maybe the Hard Rock folks will build a real Rock Museum at their new amusement park in NC...Now THAT rock so hard!!!!
