He let 'em have it with both barrels, ripping the sponsors for their politically-tainted nomination process and they damn well deserve such a lambasting.

Bravo to the 'ordinary average guy'!

"Rock Hall of Fame Is Controlled by Corporations"??? This is SHOCKING news. I always thought it was more like Sesame Street. Just put the bong down and get back in your Jaguar Joe.

Actually, I'd be surprised that anyone would be surprised to learn about this.
It seems to me it has been pretty blatantly self-evident for a very long time.
IMO, Joe went pretty easy on them.
It could easily have been much, much sharper without even coming close to going too far.
I removed visiting the RnR-HOF from my bucket list a long time ago.

Yeah I went there about 2004 or so and was not impressed I had just gone a year or two before that to Paul Allen's EMP in Seattle, now known as The Museum of Pop Culture, or MoPOP, and this was way cool, after that R&RHoF was just sad

Bravo, Joe! That truth goes much deeper.

A certain mega corporation has a similar influence in

The Oscars
The Emmys
and get ready for it . . .
Rolling Stone (which I no longer subscribe to).

and it doesn’t end there.

Much of the lineup within includes token participants to give the look of legitimacy. It’s said you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. Well, in these cases you can.

My career found me smoozing and promoting our company’s award winning nominations with sponsors, judges, major global distributors, and other related power brokers in hotel rooms at a past Canadian equivalent Emmy awards for the private industry. There are rules and protocol that are very well calculated, and there are tricks of the trade along with politics and association. In the end, while some credit is justified, the bulk of it is as Joe explained. It’s all incredible and disgusting.

My high school years gave us Rumble from just about every local band back in the day, so Link has my vote too.

I sorrily missed out on seeing MoPOP when I lived on the coast, Mud; but, were my kid brother here today, he would agree with you having seen it.

Good for Joe!

Just look at the nominees for 2019. Janet Jackson and LL Cool J don't come close to
anyone like Link Wray. Not even the same genres.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has been a HUGE joke ever since they started inducting groups and individuals whom have absolutely nothing to do with "Rock & Roll".
Why isn't Jimi Hendrix in the Country Music Hall of Fame?
We gotta be "Politically Correct"...don't wanna hurt any feelings and/or appear discriminant now do we? :roll:

It's just funny how long this has been obvious and Joe Walsh finally catches on in 2018?

way to go joe!

I was there many years ago. got to see jerry Garcia's guitars up close, as well as a doors exhibit. very cool!

then I saw the non-rnr acts inducted, and wondered if I went into the wrong place.

a few years later, I saw that abba was going in-and before rush. I sent an e-mail to them telling them what a joke they were, and unsubscribed from their mailing list. haven't been back since.

I think some people are mixing up the "R&R HOF" with the museum. The foundation ran for almost a decade before the museum was built. In Cleveland Ohio. Because NOTHING is more Rock & Roll than Cleveland Ohio. :shock: The whole thing is a joke (including the inductions than began in 1986). If you want a $30 t-shirt, order one online and then put a $20 bill through a shredder.
