Myth, IMO, it's a bogus institution
run by people with a non musical agenda.
They write about it, promote it, broadcast it and certainly
profit from it, but they never played Rock & Roll for
a living. The recently defrocked Jann Wenner, typifies
those people. When his full history and involvement become
public, the Hall & the hype it generates will be far less accepted
as the appropriate place to honor the true creators of the form as it evolved.
(Again, only my opinion)
