The most shocking story of the year

As I learned through the entire KISS sage, the rock and roll hall of fame is a joke. There's no rhyme or reason, no measurable standard. There were bands that should have made it in before KISS, and they would have and I believe did say the same thing. At the same time, there were acts like Madonna who they admire who aren't in any way, shape or form Rock and yet they made it in. And they chose to only honor the originals, even though other members had been with the band longer, while other bands they let in anyone who ever was connected.

Of course, that doesn't stop Paul Stanley from announcing KISS in in there now.

Having said that, good for ELO and Journey, both are awesome. I'll now have to listen to them on the way home.
