Because I am such a music junkie, I have updates sent to me from Rollingstone.com to my phone. Usually, it’s the same bullshit: so-and-so broke up, such-and-such fell off a stage, blah blah blah. However, one update really caught my eye: “ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES”.
(Before I go off on a tangent, let me just say this: I refuse to acknowledge the RNRHOF as a legit judge of music until Nirvana gets in. Not too much longer, baby!)
So, anyways, I click on this update, and what it contains nearly made me crap my pants in shock: Madonna got in to the Hall of Fame.
My first though, of course, was HOW? She isn’t REALLY a musician. In a mainstream sense, yeah, she sings, dances, shakes her ass, the whole 9 yards. But when you really analyze it, she lip syncs at concerts, doesn’t write her own music, and has basically built a career out of being a controversial promiscuous woman. So what kind of committee would put her in the same ranking as somebody like Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix? They BOTH wrote AND performed their own music, and they definitely earned their spot in the hall of fame. Did Madonna do any of this? The answer, I believe, is a resounding “HELL NAH!”
Anyways, the other inductees include:
-Abba (are you SERIOUS?)
-Genesis (lolol Phil Collins)
-Leonard Cohen (friggin’ finally.)
-Jeff Beck (don’t care)
-Metallica (I hate them for suing Napster, but other than that, they deserved it.)
-Jimmy Cliff (really don’t care.)
