Thanks for all the emails about the 'Rock 'N Roll Hall of Meh'. You can find it on 'YouTube' if you really need to be 'disappointed' (polite). I have seen it, and won't be giving it much (ANY) time after this couple of paragraphs. Simon looked great, and played really well. What a drummer. What a star. Paul decided not to sing, and I don't blame him for that. His health is WAY more important than this rubbish.
As for some of the others. Performances were not great. Why a bunch of BRITISH players couldn't be found to play the show, I don't know. It was BRITISH group. Nor do I know why Joe Perry couldn't be arsed to play the 'Can't Get Enough' solo with Anne Wilson properly. It's pretty rudimentary stuff. What it did show was how neither Brian Adams or Chris Robinson have the depth of tone, or warm resonance, that Paul Rodgers had/has as a singer. The vocals sounded weak and thin, Robinson well out of his depth (and key). Oh well. Personally I think the whole thing is a farce, and I'd like to think that if I was in a position to be 'inducted' I'd tell them to go .... themselves. It's an industry insider money making exercise, why do you need those 'committee' nobodies to slap your back? Some of these people would go to the opening of a paper bag! But that's just me! Or is it? (click the link below).
