Again, it's cute that many of you don't know that MOST of us used to be rabid Stevie fans as well, but it turns out she's a d bag.

I must say I'm still a rabid Stevie fan. I have an uncanny ability to erect a wall between the music and the person. Accordingly my enjoyment of her music has suffered not a whit.

The Inside Scoop on the 2019 Rock Hall Ballot
October 15, 2018 08:04 PM Filed in: 2019 Ceremony | Rock Hall Politics

Nominating Committee member Alan Light joined DJs Nik Carter and Lori Majewski on SiriusXM to announce the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees last week. Light revealed fascinating information about the discussions in the nominating meeting that led to this year’s ballot. Here are some of the highlights:

Alan Light personally used his two picks to advocate for Janet Jackson and The Cure, and got both on the ballot.

Light felt that Janet Jackson deserved one more chance on the ballot this year because of increased exposure as a result of her tour and other awards.
The Nominating Committee has been rotating through The Cure, The Smiths and Depeche Mode on recent ballots, but Light felt the time was right to give The Cure another chance because of their 40th anniversary shows and other publicity.

When asked why Judas Priest wasn’t nominated again after doing well in the fan poll last year, Light revealed that they had done “horrendously” in the actual Voting Committee tally, so they decided to shift the focus to Def Leppard.

Majewski mentioned that the Nominating Committee now has 30 members -- 23 men and seven women (up from six last year). Light said there were 28 people in the room this year (Seymour Stein was calling in from L.A., as revealed on the Who Cares About the Rock Hall? podcast.)
Light stressed that the Nominating Committee crafts the ballot in a way where they try not to nominate artists who are in a similar lane, so as not to split the vote.

Alan Light regarding the Stevie Nicks nomination: ”In the Nominating room, Pat Benatar came up, Cyndi Lauper came up, The Go-Go's came up and the Eurythmics were in this conversation, and not that it comes down to this, but the women in the room really did start to coalesce around Stevie and push things that way out of the mix that was there. That was the one that --and it's silly to say that women are one piece of what's here-- when it's women of the 80s, I don't think you put Pat, Cyndi and Stevie on a ballot together in the same way that you don't put The Cure, The Smiths and Depeche on the ballot together. It was actually the women in the committee who sort of led the focus to Stevie out of that list.”

Alan Light said that Dave Grohl was responsible for getting Devo nominated this year and Paul Shaffer is behind The Zombies appearances on the ballot.

Light admitted that the Nominating Committee did in fact take the Rock Hall Museum’s Voice Your Choice visitor poll into account when considering the nominees. Stevie Nicks and Def Leppard were the top two leaders all summer and both were nominated. Rock Hall Foundation President Joel Peresman for some reason tried to deny the poll’s influence to the Plain Dealer, "The new in-museum voting system does not factor into the nomination process as the members of the nominating committee aren't made aware of that. And we rely on their independent thinking, which in this case happened to match up.”

Light mentioned that David Fricke has previously advocated for The Guess Who and that Stevie Van Zandt tries to nominate Procol Harum every year.

Rock Hall Museum President Greg Harris and Rock Hall VP of Education and Visitor Engagement Jason Hanley both joined the show to discuss the nominees. Each separately mentioned how cool it was that Stevie Nicks would become the first woman to be a multiple inductee.

Despite having written a book about him, Light didn’t think Jeff Buckley should be inducted into the Rock Hall.

so this doesn't shed any light on the actual calculation process regarding what are the hard criteria someone must meet to get in. Indeed, it seems to highlight that it is more of an emotional process, with the voters on the committee picking and advocating for people they "feel" strongly about and then persuading (or wearing down) the other nominating committee members to include that person. Not an objective, fact-driven process.

That's my impression. There might be a few guidelines (like the 25-year guideline), but these entertainment awards are mostly emotion-driven and fraught with alliances and other political gripes. (In that sense, they can be quite interesting as models of human behavior.) There is really no other way to hand out awards in the arts, whether it's the Oscars or a Nobel for literature. There's no objective measure of merit in the arts, as everyone knows by now. Novels and plays and pop songs aren't strings of programming syntax that either render or don't, and they aren't litmus paper that either turns blue or doesn't. We're stuck with our subjective responses to art—although we can document those responses persuasively or not. It's a lot more interesting to hear why people like or dislike Stevie or Debbie Harry than to give those artists a plaque. The former is intellect at work, the latter is a sales stack.

Stevie's Facebook page is giving away a trip for two to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Apologies for the lack of a link, I still don't have the hang of embedding, but I suppose her Facebook page is easy enough to find.

Seeing some listings pop up for screenings of the In Your Dreams film in theaters, apparently to celebrate the induction.

I also noticed the new screenings of IYD on Google Alerts. The movie is a great companion piece for the album.

Girl, I CANNOT WAIT for that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame SPEECH. Pop a bag of popcorn, it’s on! Do the show producers have a stop watch timer set on that stage? Norma Desmond is READY to roll!!!

The character from "Sunset Blvd," Norma Desmond, is described in a sypnosis: "Ushered in by Max, the butler, Joe recognizes the woman as long-forgotten silent film star Norma Desmond."
The character is long forgotten, no longer popular and is a recluse in a run down dilapidated mansion.
Stevie is not forgotten, still sells-out concerts and not psychotic.
Just because her speeches are lengthy, a bunch of anti-Stevie members from the "Rumours" board call her Norma Desmond.
It's like another world on that board.
Some even blame Stevie for Lindsey's heart attack.
Soon she'll be blamed for global warming.
Yes, dear, the witch is gonna get'cha.
Evil Stevie.
That's mighty flattering that she takes up so much of people's time and energy on the "Rumours" board honestly.
hundreds of threads by the same group of people, saying the same thing over and over����.
Yawn

Saw this on the Stevie fb page. She's got the countdown going on for the induction ceremony. I can't wait to hear her speech.

It’s sad that she is being inducted into the Hall of Fame and after years of being a fan, I can’t feel happy for her or enjoy it.

You don't make any sense. A few months ago, you were posting that you still wanted her to be inducted, even though you were mad at her regarding Lindsey's firing.
