Heart is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were inducted in 2013. But that just shows what a worthless institution it is, I couldn't remember this. I guess I still can't get over the fact that Joan Jett is a member. Who next, the Archies? Or maybe the Fugs, they were new and different. And the list of those excluded is too long to list. Herman's Hermits had much more impact than Joan Jett, but somehow they're excluded. The R&RHOF is a dead paradigm, it's run by the tight pants/black leather jacket crew, you know, the wankers in the back of the room who think they know better but never went on a date. But today, those people have no purchase...in a world where no one can know everything and the joke is on those who are proud of being there first and dissing everybody else's taste. It's every person for themselves now, and if you find something and like it, more power to you, we're all overwhelmed. I won't say that makes it great, but great no longer surfaces all by itself, and too much which is great is never acknowledged.
End of rant.
I hate being wrong.
