Message from Wendy Welch (re: BW RRHOF induction)

[aleuzzi]

I too was disappointed with the RRHOF performances. Why the two duets? Why the acoustic Say You Love Me? I got the sense that the band didn't want to deal with trucking a lot of equipment to the event, and if that's the case that is lame.

Would I have loved to have seen Bob Welch and Bob Weston there? Absolutely! I was as annoyed at their absence as I was at the video narrative before the speeches where the mid-period was completely undervalued and underplayed.

All this selective presentation also kept out Burnette and Vito (their absence bothered me much less than that of the two Bobs). So I am still not convinced this was any one band member's call to make, but rather the decision of the board of the RRHOF.

But, as I have said many times, even if one person were vocal about keeping Bob out, the rest of the band's silence and acceptance of it makes them equally culpable. Blaming Christine as THE ONE responsible is as selective as including only certain members of the band into the RRHOF.
