Personally I'd take a bunch of happy fans over some moronic RNR hall of fame recognition any day. In the past I've wondered why Meat wasn't in there (along with Steinman as in the songwriter category I may add) and know people have been having debates on this forum for yonks. However the more I think about it, it's really nonsense, especially considering the list they put out this year. It doesn't mean jack shit. Getting in the hall of fame doesn't pay bills or have much influence world wide at all I reckon. Outside of this forum, seeing the film "The Rocker" and hearing bits and pieces about Bruce Springsteen I wouldn't even have known about it, so how does it in God's name help? There is so much music out there, who gives a shit whether or not some stupid rock and roll hall of fame recognises it?

It's the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame of course getting into it is important, and yeah I'm not going back on what I said about it looking good on a CV/Biography just because you are getting all hot and bothered about that comment. I think it's the truth and it's a great accomplishment for an artist, and worth celebrating.
If Meat was to get into the hall of fame tommorrow you'd be delighted. The only reason you hate the HOF now is because Meat is not in there, and he dislikes it.
