"that's f*cked up! (c) D. Hall. Anyone digest the R&RHOF show yet?"
I've seen most (though not all) of it over the past few nights.
Even though I still find the idea of a RRHOF somewhat appalling, I always get a kick out of seeing what they're doing it & how they're doing it.
Daryl's comment was the funniest thing of the night though... 'thanks fa lettin us in, yo wtf about Chubby & dem though?' Sad thing is he's right & I'd add Jim Croce to his list, if I, y'know, gave a damn about who they let in. Plus he fits what seems to be a pattern: old, white, dead or dying. ?uest did an okay job on the induction... very confident and articulate as always, I just thought he might have been a bit too in-depth with the music geek aspect. Other stuff we pretty funny. Would love to get his take on the experience and the evening as well. The fact that he got chosen to do it (and considering the Roots were integral in the Beasties' induction tribute performance a few years back) makes me feel like he's on that Grohl/Green Day/Morello trajectory where the HOF is grooming him for future induction. Which is a good thing.
Cat Stevens was really out of place and he was kind of mean in his acceptance speech. I'll chalk that up to him feeling completely out of place and somewhat bemused by the affair but also a bit egotistical. Dude did write some great songs though.
Thought the Linda Ronstadt tribute was good, and made a good case for her somewhat surprising selection; surprised they gave it so much screen time. Would have preferred to hear songs that I don't associate more with other people though.
Nirvana... well, Lorde was not very good, I thought. Grohl still looks like a rock star and Novoselic looks like a middle-aged dude. They can still rock though.
