I realize it's only rock & roll, but Crow's induction speech was inane & trite. Couldn't she think of anything to commend the band for besides shag haircuts? And who cares, at such a moment, what Sheryl herself was doing in 1977?

Only Sheryl. :-)

Let's keep in mind that Danny was too sick to make it to the ceremony, and would not have been comfortable there. And, yes, I was pissed that Bob and Billy weren't included. But, that was ten years ago. I've moved on. Now that Madonna has been inducted before much more deserving artists, like Rush, Yes, Genesis, Kiss, or Randy Bachman, the whole thing seems like a sham.

Also I find it interesting that the band didn't even know who was going to talk after Mick. John sure didn't want to!!

Thanks for sharing, I had never seen the speech.

I'm still peeved Chicago isn't in there (some would beg to disagree, I'm sure). But come on, they still tour with four of their original members and even put out an album of NEW material a few years ago (rare for them at this point). They are now 16 years into their eligibility! Rant over!

I remember loving that Stevie was on stage with four of her exes during the jam at this induction. Good times!

I don't recall there being a jam that year. Did I miss something??? I thought the lawyers couldn't get it to work for some reason or other. Or, maybe because it was because Stevie would've been up there with 4 of her exes!

I think there was some bitterness within the Eagles and that is why
there was no jam.....

Look at the bands who were inducted...other than Santana, none of the other bands COULD jam their way out of a paper bag. Even Peter Green's "jamming" days were long out of sight in the rear-view mirror by then.
