All bow to the RRHOF!!!1

Man, nomenclature really upsets some of you lol

But their delicate sensitivities...

 

[Dolebludger]

I have no delicate sensibilities. I am just saying that the R&RHOF is nothing more than a tourist attraction for Cleveland OH, and has no musicians on its nominating board. And let’s not take it seriously and that’s all.

Not pointed at you, but...

Missed it by *that much*.

Then call it "Pop Music HoF" (which is what it has become)
Or National Museum of Popular Music (that might require Government management)

Either would be more accurate than to call it "RRHoF" while including Jazz, Rap, Techno, House, Hip-Hop, and even Country artists who never even considered *themselves* to be "Rock"
Look at the Dolly Parton issue. No kinder or more generous person on the planet, and no person more deserving of HoF status, but she's not R&R, and she declined her own nomination because of her honesty.


It's not a bad thing... it just isn't what its name purports it to be.
Like walking into Casa Hernandez and the menu is Mexican, Italian, Indian, hamburgers, and hot dogs.

They could have put Wanda Jackson in there. She was Rock & Roll as a mofo:

Been there. Disappointed. Never to return,

Been to the Country Hall of Fame in Nashville. Cool AF.

Maybe it was Cleveland. LOL

Been to Nashville and the Country Music HOF as well.

Yes, vintage and cool AF. Agreed.

We must remember that R&RHOH was established to give Cleveland, OH a tourist destination, which it never had before (and probably does not have now).

This is true, about the original "reason" used to justify placing the R&R HOF. And also a convenient "marketing" subterfuge. (Lie). Cleveland is actually a great destination, without considering the HOF. It has one of the Best Theater districts outside of Broadway, NY. There are great Restaurants, and many other "attractions" for the Upper Mid-west. No, it's not Chicago or NYC, but it is still a viable place for an enjoyable vacation. (Not so much for the quality of their "Sports-ball" teams, but at least they have them ?)

Who knew the Pretenders were in the Rock Hall? Not me.
