So I am here working and checking in a few boards, and I had totally forgot about the Hall of Fame Ceremonies live on VH1 tonight.
I have BIG issues with them, this is not something that is a true hall of fame, and it’s a corporate bunch of crap.
Many people want the Runaways in the hall of fame-not gonna happen people. This is a corporate dollar driven machine. It is not up to the fans-not up to a true jury-it’s up to one individual, and that person is not interested in the Runaways.
I have inside sources that told me point blank-“Joan Jett as a solo artist will be inducted before the Runaways, and The Runaways will never be inducted. The powers that be at The Hall of Fame think they were a joke, not socially relevant, didn’t sell enough albums, and Joan Jett would have been a star anyway.” Joan should be in the hall of fame- but first with the Runaways. It also irks me to no end that they have the nerve to charge the inductees! That’s right, they charge if you want to attend the ceremony: 25,000 a table, 10,000 to sit in the gallery.
This year sees Van Halen’s induction. David Lee Roth was not asked to perform, oh wait, yes he was. With Velvet Revolver, doing a Kinks song. David was irked because even though the song “You really got me” was a big hit, but DLR wanted to see a song performed that was written by DLR, Michael Anthony and the Bros VH. Hey I like Velvet Revolver, I like the guys in VR, but they shouldn’t be playing VH on stage, - on the induction night. Whose s***ty idea was that anyway-oh that would be the same asshat that thinks the Runaways are undeserving of an induction.
I am sure that I am just oversensitive, these women are my friends! I love the Runaways! I just wish they could get the Recognition they deserve-Publicly.
*Rant over*
