Personally, I want to think "What's the big deal?" The R & R Hall of fame has numerous 'snubs' including the previously mentioned Doug Yule (which is ridiculous) and the fact that they decided to wait a year to induct The Dave Clark Five so they could induct a hip hop group or someone of that nature, while Mike Smith (their lead singer) passed away in the meantime missing his last time in the spotlight. The R & R Hall of Fame is a (you-know-what) stain according to Johnny Rotten and I happen to agree. So, Bob Welch isn't the only one who had been snubbed. All that being said, if it was his wish to be in the Hall, I fully support and hope for the best regarding Wendy Welch's crusade to get him in. I imagine it will happen one day when Christine is no longer needed by Mick, probably when the band hangs it up for good.
