If the US media could report on Floyd Sneed that’ll be appreciated. Him getting basically nothing here is absolutely stunning

As bad as those two are Cheney and Kissinger are honestly much worse

Yes, I know, everyone knows by now that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a big joke and not something to be taken seriously (like the Oscars nowadays). However, since I'm feeling bored and have nothing else to do at the moment, I thought it would be interesting to predict who might get inducted into this bullshit hall of fame this year and who probably won't make it this year. The list of this year's nominees are: Bon Jovi Kate Bush The Cars Depeche Mode Dire Straits Eurythmics The J Geils Band Judas Priest LL Cool J MC5 The Meters The Moody Blues Radiohead Rage Against The Machine Rufus featuring Chaka Khan Nina Simone Sister Rosetta Tharpe Link Wray The Zombies Immediately, Radiohead comes into my head as a shoo in this year due to their massive critical acclaim and name recognition, but considering what the Hall of Fame inducts for the most part, which other artists will likely join Radiohead into the museum.

Fans must’ve been disappointed I quit hence the quietness of the game

I know I would’ve gotten a cup bye if I decided to play but even the thought of having to decide whether I pick him or eschew him for personal reasons… yeah I think I made the right call sitting out on the cup

He went into remission at one point but it’s possible the cancer returned

Social media reporting that Floyd Sneed of Three Dog Night has died… Also a DDP pick

Kinda reminds me of Lee Kerslake, which still means he’s probably a goner this year

This song is truly a masterpiece. Rip to one of the underrated guitar greats:

Twitter reporting that Tom Verlaine has died…

That song is really about to go go
