And the Rolling Stones made sure that Ian Stewart got inducted, too.

Clearly, Bob Welch was done an insulting disservice- the band could have ensured that he was inducted. Had the lawsuit not happened, then I'm sure he would have been in.
But there is one countervailing view that amuses me slightly, from the late Bob Weston, in his Q & A , here on
the Penguin.
I don't have an opinion on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thing. Of course it's great to be recognised; who wants to be ignored? (Only the famous, perhaps 
.) I don't understand the method of selection, or the Hall of Fame's significance. Does one get a wax effigy, like Mme Tussauds?
It's a bit of a Groucho Marx response, I guess.
