STEWART COPELAND

More than once while reading the list, I found myself channeling SuperCat: "Whuuuut?"

I'll have to dig up Stewart's brilliant HOF rant tomorrow and post it somewhere unless someone else has a copy of it to share.

I think they have reached the bottom of the barrel or something.

Certainly an unusual list. Eclectic even. As a youth I adored Donna Summer, but I'm not sure about her inclusion (may Donna Summer fans worldwide forgive me).

Yeah, I think they have run out of "rock' n 'rollers". Conroy, I'd like to see that rant! I can only imagine...

And the reason RUSH isn't in the HOF is?????????????????

And whatever you think of their music aside, I can't believe KISS isn't in it. They have influenced R&R in their own unique way.

Here's Stewart's Hall of Fame Rant http://drop.io/conjett/asset/hof-rant-mp3 from his "A Conversation with Stewart Copeland" appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on May 3, 2005 that sockii blogged about here: http://www.tookooltokalypso.org/cleveland.html

OMG..I am rolling on the floor. My coffee sprayed my keyboard and screen. I love this man. He is hilarious.
Good one Conroy. Thanks for this.

Rush isn't in, but Michael Jackson is? WTF? What kind of drugs are these people on?

Sometimes I think they forget it is the ROCK hall of fame... If they were going to include people like Michael Jackson and Donna Summer, they should call it the Pop hall of fame.

You know, Sting as a solo artist is eligible this year. Can you believe it's been 25 years since the Blue Turtles messed up our garden?!

I dunno, tho. I loves me some Dr. John...
