Linda had said at one point she wouldn't accept membership in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if her name ever was submitted, because she didn't consider herself a rock singer and disliked most of the recordings she made that were rock oriented. She also said that being a rock singer was her weakest ability as a vocalist. Linda and Jann Wenner (along with Peter Asher on Linda's behalf) had a major falling-out decades ago, and Linda has often badmouthed 'Rolling Stone' magazine since. RS had extensive coverage (of her rock career) and she made the cover many times. Most of the articles were very in-depth and interesting, but one Annie Liebowitz photo session made her very angry, when photos were published of her in bed, scantily attired, that she claimed were taken without her permission for the magazine to publish them. John McVie was known to have had a fondness for that particular photo session.
It's a shame, because I really liked Linda's 70s work, but with Wenner behind the RARHOF and their mutual dislike of each other, along with Linda being retired now, it seems unlikely.
People do change their minds about retirement, but it doesn't seem likely Linda will change her mind about rock music.
