[ChinaBandit]

How do you feel about these?

Linda, Jerry Brown fucking, Ronstadt? I'm not blown away...I suppose Nirvana and Cat Stevens are acceptable.

 

[RoryN]

Made it in:

• Linda Ronstadt

I wonder if she'll be well enough to perform.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I wonder if she'll be well enough to perform.

She already said she couldn't. She has full-blown Parkinson's Disease now, evidently the first thing to go is your singing voice (a fact I hadn't known until she said this).

 

[ChinaBandit]

I wonder if she'll be well enough to perform.

Perform? I can't call it that.

 

[Liar]

Made the "final ballot" but not selected:

• Yes
• N.W.A
• Chic
• the Meters
• Deep Purple
• the Paul Butterfield Blues Band
• LL Cool J
• the Replacements
• Link Wray
• the Zombies

On that list, I have only ever heard of six of the names, and can only recall how four of them look and/or sound.

Hall & Oates? Seriously? Who's next, England Dan & John Ford Coley?

 

[ChinaBandit]

They might as well let Redbone in.

They've lost all credit and, eventually, it won't even be a valid excuse to visit the mistake by the lake.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Hall & Oates? Seriously? Who's next, England Dan & John Ford Coley?

Yeah that was my reaction, too. Guess they had to represent the 80s somehow....I wish they'd picked The Cars.

 

[RoryN]

Perform? I can't call it that.

Please. Like you know anything about music.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I'd never heard of Link Wray until I saw that "It might get loud" movie where Jimmy Page of Led Zep said he learned to play guitar imitating Link Wray note-for-note.

 

[Fata Morgana]

I wonder if she'll be well enough to perform.

Is it Parkinsons?

Pleased about Peter Gabriel.

 

[RoryN]

Hall & Oates? Seriously? Who's next, England Dan & John Ford Coley?

It's understandable if you don't like Hall & Oates music, but their success in the industry is unmatched. Bad comparison.

 

[ChinaBandit]

Please. Like you know anything about music.

A bit..She's not my taste, in the least.

 

[RoryN]

A bit..

You can't even quote Steve Miller correctly. Doubtful.

 

[RobDownSouth]

You can't even quote Steve Miller correctly. Doubtful.

I got Steve Miller tickets for next May 22 in San Antonio!

 

[ChinaBandit]

You can't even quote Steve Miller correctly. Doubtful.

Who says I was quoting Steve Miller?

 

[RoryN]

Who says I was quoting Steve Miller?

I do.

If you weren't, find another source and post it.

 

[ChinaBandit]

I do.

Really? I don't give a shit.

 

[RoryN]

I don't give a shit.

Busted.

 

[ChinaBandit]

Busted.

What are you crapping on about?

The lyric in the song is "go on take the money and run"...

 

[RoryN]

Who says I was quoting Steve Miller?

The lyric in the [Steve Miller] song [in my sig] is "go on take the money and run"...

Oops. You just fucked up.

 

[ChinaBandit]

Oops. You just fucked up.

You're trolling now Rory but if my sig line worries you so much be assured that it's a pleasure to occupy that corner of your mind.

 

[RoryN]

You're trolling now Rory but if my sig line worries you so much be assured that it's a pleasure to occupy that corner of your mind.

I just like pointing out stupidity when the author of said stupidity is oblivious to it.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Jann Wenner is running out of ideas to get Bruce Springsteen to perform...

A couple of years back, he got Springsteen's buddy Darlene Love inducted to get him to show up, this year the E Street Band is being inducted as a "backing band"
