Texas Monthly.I am not sure witch is the biggest waste of trees. Okay, yes, the
RS is.
If one works for the
RS or is named Jan Wenner, it is relevant.
quote:
[Wenner] "doesn't care what the rules are and just operates how he sees fit. It is an abuse of power. I don't know whether The Monkees belong in the Hall of Fame, but it's pretty clear that we're not in there because of a personal whim." Tork believes Wenner doesn't like the fact that The Monkees, who were originally cast as actors for a TV sitcom, didn't play their own instruments on their first two records. "Jann seems to have taken it harder than everyone else, and now, 40 years later, everybody says, 'What's the big deal? Everybody else does it.' Nobody cares now except him. He feels his moral judgment in 1967 and 1968 is supposed to serve in 2007."
The Monkees? Nah,but other are worthy. AC/DC didn't make the cover until 2008. I doubt they cared. But if a band doesn't have a political agenda--a liberal one--they are ignore.
I am a Joan Jett fan, but no way should she have received the coverage she has in the RS and Journey received none. Other bands, too.
