Congrats to the newest inductees, especially Whitney and Biggie, who will get in posthumously. I figured it would only be a matter of time before the former made it, given her hot streak of chart-toppers in the 80s and 90s before drugs derailed her career and ultimately played a part in ending her life at age 48; as for the latter, I never would've pegged him as Hall of Fame material until it started to include the hip-hop artists, but now I'm seeing things differently, and he definitely deserves to be there.

Nothing could be more Rock and Roll than rushing to kiss the ring of Rolling Stone executives who promise to use your likeness to sell $30 tickets to a tourist trap

"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

I like "Bang a Gong" fine enough, but T. Rex didn't do that much to justify inclusion.

The rest are fine, although Priest is due.

Torgo has left the building. John and I never really cared for the way he presented himself.

In all fairness, the HOF has some cool exhibits and is a very worthwhile visit for music lovers.

I just wish they would stop taking themselves so seriously and finally induct "Weird Al" Yankovic.
