      Kool and the Gang certainly aren’t what I’d call rock either. The rock and roll Hall of Fame has generalized to the point it should be called the music hall of fame. It’s also lame.

      None of those inductees are, other than Ozzy. They’ve apparently run out of actual rock musicians to add.

      Eh. Plenty of non-rock musicians are already in the Hall of Fame.

      The first inductees were in 1986. Bo Diddley was inducted in 1987. John Lee Hooker in 1991. Johnny Cash in 1992. Bob Marley in 1994. I stopped looking after that.
