      There shouldn’t even be a “hall of fame” for music. It’s not a sport. What’s worse, the meaning of the style designation has vanished. This isn’t a hall of fame/museum for rock musicians. It’s for popular music, broadly. They should change the name of it to “The Popular Music Hall of Fame and Museum”. Then it’s selection and curation policies would at least seem consistent.

      Just the love of a good dog and a good child is enough to make a life well lived. A short story- I was at the 90 birthday of a very wealthy and worldly woman and she had learned the Ukulele a bit and I brought mine at the behest of her son (late 60's, my age) She was very raw, but I showed her a strumming rhythm and laid down a nice Bossa nova lead over it and wowed the family. Afterwards she said, "I regret not learning the Ukulele much earlier in life" to which I responded, "do you realize how lucky you are to have found something new at your age that you love?" Never stop living, never stop loving Cheryl :)

      @@cherylanderson3340 My mothers' family name is Anderson, with a different name for the clan system. I'd have to watch the video again to see about this "very toxic person" quote. I can see Jann Wenner, as much as a man as an American, being too grasping with any Beatle. I can see him thinking he made those bands in his magazine, because he promoted drug use when they were, as British Invasion recording artists, the leading edge. You might not understand the depth of that cultural invasion, except to say you're still paying royalties to them, even if half of them are dead. As a Scots person, known for not suffering fools gladly, I can see Paul putting up a wall against him, trying to keep it professional. He's not a Beatle any more. "Dark are the skies above, blue are the seas, I know this love of mine, will never die, and I love her". Very nice.

      @@cherylanderson3340 In short, Wenner is a well-documented slimeball who has a history of doing wrong to those he worked with. This interview is amusing in that it's a blatant attempt at revisionism, if for no other reason than pure ignorance. Wenner and Lennon eventually had a bitter falling out after Wenner did him dirty. As for McCartney, Wenner took Lennon's side when the Beatles split and was a major suck up to Lennon. As a result, Wenner made repeated attempts to sabotage McCartney's post-Beatles career stretching decades into the 90s. At the same time he would use Linda to get to Paul to leech off and use his star status. All this and more is well documented and known among hardcore Beatles/music fans who know their music history.
      On the record McCartney had this to say about Wenner: “We didn’t really wanna hang with him,” McCartney told Hagan. “We’d make fun of him.”

    John Lennon was about coming out as a heroin addict with Yoko Ono, doing an American bed-in.

      What a strange thing to imply that any shortcomings of our country should be attributed to a very small and insignificant magazine at that time. How about Brown and Root corporation in Vietnam, Johnson, Nixon, Cheney, Reagan, Nancy saying "no to drugs" while Ronnie was busy smuggling tons of blow to support his Contras? Let's get real for a moment. If you really want to talk about a "new genre of news", you need go no further than Rupert Murdoch.

It was called "Birth of a Nation", and yes, the Ku Klux Klan played a starring role. The president said Americans were seeing "the light of the lord". I have a DVD copy. Everything TV, movie and media is controlled and dictated by Washington and the Pentagon. You don't get anywhere by not co-operating.

It's a big, muscular male nude, Roman Empire style, standing on a globe, symbolizing the world. He holds a long, thick wire, looping around his feet, with the end dangling in a sexually suggestive manner, and lightning bolts in the other hand. There was a plan for global domination there, bringing over the Italian Marconi and the Transylvanian Tesla, after seeing what Scottish engineers built at Niagara Falls. You use watts, not teslas.
