The new nominees for 2022 have just been announced. Every year I struggle with their choices. My problem this year is the nomination of Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Dionne Warwick and any rappers, (whom I’ve always had a problem with).
These are not rock and roll artists! I love Dolly Parton, everyone including herself will tell you she is country through and through! Lionel Richie, whom I also like, is R&B, with a little country. Eminem, I love, is also not rock and roll.
There has been some controversy over the years about who is nominated and who gets in because of this same reason. I feel they are trying to be politically correct by including all genres of music, not wanting to insult, but COME ON! THE PLACE IS CALLED THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!
I think they should rename it accordingly, THE AMERICAN MUSIC HALL OF FAME,
I’m just sayin.
