Rush has been my favourite band for over 40 years now. I have been a proud Torontonian for 45 years thanks to them but I get angry when people say I should be happy with their induction. I tell them the RaRHoF cares more about money than justice. It is a bullshit institution that wasted no time in honouring pop and rap crap while snubbing real bands like Deep Purple, Journey, Genesis etc. Don't even get me started on how much I hate that "crap and shit-hop" (as I call it) trash. Donna Halper says she was "representing the fans" when fighting for their induction. I met her in person at a Rushcon where I looked her in the eye and said, "You don't represent THIS fan, Donna. I think it's cooler to NOT be inducted." Geddy, Alex and Neil don't need validation from these dicks but I am glad they accepted honourably on behalf of our country. Much respect to Mr Miller (seen him twice and he puts on a great show) for his words but more so had he refused like other artists like John Lydon have.

Paul Stanley is KISS in my opinion and kept the band afloat during that time period while Gene tried unsuccessfully to be a Hollywood actor.

Musicians are part artist and part entertainer. The entertainment part of their identity is a business that makes money. The RRHOF is also a business. Steve Miller did a good job of NOT being overshadowed by the other bands being inducted by stirring up a controversy and being the centre of attention, proving he is a pretty savvy businessman.

I didn’t realize the artist does not decide who will give the induction speech! Is that true for all?? If that is the case it seems like they are missing a huge aspects of those ceremonies. I love to see who is chosen by the athlete to do the speech at the NFL hall of fame ceremony, for instance.

@@midohiobuckeyeaorwarrior9743 I just get where he’s coming from. He’s marketed the Hall very cleverly, using the controversy as the key component. Every hate comment about the Hall on the Internet directly extends its life cycle. What I really don’t understand is how so many people get upset that their favorite band is not acknowledged by some random private organization. Not nominated to be in the Hall? Who cares! Enjoy the music. Same goes for the artists. A seat at the table costs $10000? Your extended family wasn’t invited? Don’t attend!
