"I guess if you care about an artist enough and their legacy, it's not the same honor when they could have been voted in. That layer of validation from the voting body matters when it's an artist you care so much about."

In case anyone didn't know, #RockHall2025 inductee Lenny Waronker is the son of Liberty Records executive Simon Waronker, who is the man Simon the Chipmunk was named after. The brainy brother in Alvin & The Chipmunks was named after the dad of 2025 Non-Performer inductee Lenny. You're welcome.

No argument from me

I generally don't try to predict those. Based on a post, it looks like Nicky Hopkins may be getting AME, and it wouldn't surprise me if the New York Dolls got that or MI as well. Beyond that, *shrugs*

JDNO could make it, but if the Smiths can't get in, I would, and did, put better odds on the White Stripes

Oh no, it's all about the fan vote, coupled with the lack of transparency is what it's all about. As I said, it's all contingent on how much the tail wags the dog, if having a sellout event is paramount, regardless of how the vote actually goes.

Bets locked in. Will it be a parlay or a complete bust?

Trying to get them wrapped up! About three quarters done with the writing, then I gotta proofread it

Had so much fun with this. Nick is such a gracious host. If neither of us had been pressed for time, I feel the conversation could have lasted an extra hour, we were having so much fun. Give it a listen!

Just because they belong in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, that doesn't mean I like their catalog; and vice-versa, but those acts aren't on the #RockHall2025 ballot. Enjoy.

Did I use my analysis of the #RockHall2025 ballot to rant about a Ben And Jerry's flavor I thoroughly despise? You're abso-fricken-lutely right I did.
