Modern country is intolerable. It's a cookie cutter of God, trucks and patriotism. I will say some of the women are are nailing it with more cutting edge stuff.

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

It's gotten to be a standard feature that the recipients bitch moan and whine about how long it took and why the place is so far behind in rock and roll and so far ahead with remedial offshoots. George Michael?

LOL. I think you really have to look at the definition of 'Rock-n-Roll'. It's a broad term and obviously, the hall of fame isn't just focused on heavy metal rock that I think a lot people think is just rock. Is George Michael rock-n-roll?
In the one definition of Sex, Drugs, and Rock-n-Roll he surely fits the bill. Drums, guitar, bass, keys, vocals. It leans on the pop side of things, but is still rock-n-roll. Is it Hall of Fame worthy. Debatable for sure. But, he did make his mark and I still hear his music today.
