This is NOT right...
I will admit I don't follow music/musicians anymore because of hearing loss, and never really paid attention to yet another Hall of Fame. I knew who I liked, and didn't care about awards, etc...
There’s something off about applause that arrives 30 years too late.
This year, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will finally open its glitzy doors to Cyndi Lauper. And yes, the girl who just wanted to have fun earned it. No question. You could argue she should’ve been inducted before now, and you’d be right. But her long-overdue invitation isn’t the only story.
While cameras will flash, and industry types will slap backs and nod as if they saw it coming, there’s an ugly truth hiding in the lights: some of the greatest women in music history still haven’t made it into the Hall. Not because they lacked talent. Not because they lacked influence. But because the Rock Hall has a long, slow habit of forgetting the very women who built the foundation beneath its stage.

When you read the article, and look at who is NOT there based on their music, or how long it took for them to get there, it becomes obvious they are slow rolling the women... ALL the women...
Much like the record labels took advantage of the bands over the years, and the continuing 'scuffles' over royalties/contract payments/ASCAP fees, etc. This is, to me, just one more money grab at the top levels, and to hell with the artists...
Grrrr...


It's a clique running that thing, which is why I never had any desire to visit the place. 🤷♂️
Meh. When music wasn't a poltical grift this might have mattered. I'm not sure that I care two cents about any living artist anymore.
