Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees 2008 … What BS!!!!!

I thought someone was playing a joke on me this morning when I saw the list of inductees for the 2008 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

John Mellencamp — unoriginal

Madonna — worthy of a nomination

Leonard Cohen — name a rock and roll tune off the top of your head

The Ventures — who?

Dave Clark Five — worthy, but hardly the Beatles and with all due respect to the late-Mike Smith, shouldn’t Manfred Mann have been inducted before DC5?

What a horrible bunch … probably the weakest overall class ever, how we can go from the great 2006 class of
Black Sabbath
Blondie
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Miles Davis
Sex Pistols

and the slightly weaker but still impressive 2007 class
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
Patti Smith
R.E.M.
The Ronettes
Van Halen

to this junky line up amazes me … anyway, go to www.rockhall.com for more info … should be a doozy of a concert … NOT!!!!!
