As if it were ever anything but...

...please. You're in the business & you ever took this seriously? Good grief.

Oh, wait, you were the one who threw out a Grammys reference a few days ago to try to make a point, as though that's something that should be taken seriously also. Puh.

Not sure what you have against Bobby McFerrin, though. He was certainly deemed worthy enough by plenty of cats to appear on their albums. Oh, but wait. He was on that Quincy Jones rap album. That's what you don't like about McFerrin, isn't it?

You can admit it. After all, yr opposition to Grandmaster Flash's induction was because that was a rap act, not for a valid reason...say, because that act's impact was limited to a couple of singles?

Not sure why you would've continued to assign Jann Wenner any musical credibility. For me he showed he had none way back when I was but a wee lad, when he decided that the hippies were happening...and Brian Wilson wasn't.

Since I know you're a BW guy, if you're not familiar, see if you can dig up the anti-BBs screed Wenner ran in RS not long after he started publishing it. Omitting this detail in any rundown of the factors that drove BW to his troubles is a mistake.

Then, for once, try to apply some reasoning, and come to terms with the fact that this is the guy who calls the shots at that place.

I'm glad when I see acts I like get in, but raising ire because someone didn't is hardly worth the time & effort. Unless you give a damn what Jann Wenner thinks about music, and I never have.
