Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

There is nothing less "Rock and Roll" than a hall of fame that apparently claims to be "Rock and Roll".

Obviously-I like music. I like "Rock and Roll." In fact, I like the traditional pioneers of the genre like Buddy Holly, Elvis and Little Richard (yes there are more, those are the first three that just came into mind). I think the terms "legend" and "icon" are thrown away much too easily in this society but those men are truly iconic.  Without them, Rock and Roll would have developed but it would have taken years longer.

A Hall of Fame is a mainstream, established institution that tries to sell you what their version of Rock music is. It's sanitized, overly commercial and has no soul or innate passion. Basically, it's the antithesis of what rock and roll should be.
