Dolly Parton in the Rock Hall of Fame (cool), but so is Carly Simon (not as cool)

2022 rock hall inductees announced 

Wins: Pat Benatar, Eminem, Dolly Parton, Duran Duran, Lionel Richie, Eurythmics, Carly Simon

Judas Priest & receive the musical excellence award Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (Esteemed Producers) - 31 top 10 hits in UK, 41 in the US - most notable work with Janet Jackson. Had number 1 records in the 80s, 90s, and 00’s

Being held in LA for 3rd time ever 

Very cool that 3 female solo artists and the Annie Lenox fronted Eurythmics are 4 of the 7 acts to gain entry

With that said, except for Lionel, the ethic/racial diversity of this class of inductees falls short

Predictably - only one hip-hop act got in — and it was Eminem. 

Tribe deserved better

The Rage Against the Machine issue is something I don’t understand

The Fela thing — now that I know what Fela Kuti is — i can’t stand for this oversight either

Dionne Warwick 

Kate Bush, Devo, NY Dolls, MC5 — that Judas Priest award is your best shot

Beck — i think Beck will get in for real.
