You may want to skip that part when you get it to it. Anyhow - The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus version kills the album version.

I think Rapture is the only one. I think it was the first song to reach Number 1 to feature rapping.

I like her for other reasons. LOL I think she is a great singer. I'd like to see her make an album without a lot of polish.

You know what I mean - like that dude from Hootie and The Blowfish. They are going for the country market. Although, I have to say this new country music is pretty lame. But - it sells. I remember when Bon Jovi was a hair metal band.

Don't be dissing Adele now.

I bet they will get in some day. I think they are terrible, but they are one of the few bands from the 80s that still sell a lot of tickets and albums. They have a rather large following. And Jon is smart. He is going for the country thing now - like some other former rock stars.

This is funny:

I'm not a Smashing Pumpkins fan, but Billy did a great job in the Rush documentary. I gained a new respect for him.

I started reading it not long ago. I have to say I will never hear A Quick One, While He's Away in the same way again - after reading his explanation of the song. The second disc on that release has some songs from one of the Young Vic shows.

It would be great if they got Billy to do the induction speech.

I don't care for them myself. I would be surprised if Gram Parsons ever gets in there.

See - that is great. That guy doesn't mean anything for me, but of course there are those who are all into him and his music. And thus - feel he should be in there.

Deep Purple got passed over also. I suppose it's a never ending deal - we all have in mind who we think should be in there. I only know a little bit about Kraftwork. Not my cup of tea, really. So I can't speak to their worth.

That's it - I meant they were critically panned, but had and still do have, a large following. I'd say one of the reasons they got in this year is do their high profile over the past few years.

Plus longevity, record sales, etc. I believe they are what use to be called a "people's band". You either get it, or you don't. It may also have something to do with age. I'm an old man, so I like Rush. Of course, I did when I was a young man also. I'm not a rap fan, but the song Public Enemy did with Anthrax is cool - Bring The Noise.

This is a good start.

2012 Christmas Special preview page I recently finished the Tom Baker era. Now I am up to the second episode of the Peter Davison era. (Although I have recently stopped - so I can watch The Prisoner. Which I seem to watch once or twice a year.)

Today is the day the inductees for 2013 are going to be the announced. So far - I have read that Public Enemy and Donna Summer are on the list.

Speaking of concert footage, I was watching the Copenhagen (1972) film the other day on Youtube.

I guess Bruce, Laday GaGa, and The Black Keys are the next guests. I get the first one, the other two I don't. But - Mick has always stayed current.

Just for the heck of it - Dick's Picks Volume 11 (Stanley Theater in Jersey City on September 27, 1972). They opened the show with Morning Dew.

That's right. I think I learned the most about if from that Faces book. I can't recall if there is a lot of talk about it in Dave Marsh's Who book (Hope I Die Before I Get Old).

It's pretty weird to watch Letterman and the band sitting around talking about blues musicians.

I don't think I've ever seen such a thing as this before: $1,000

I can't say I am very fond of the Ogden's narration parts. But - there are some great songs on that album. Song of A Baker, for example. One of Ronnie's Meher Baba inspired songs, I think.
