ONCE AGAIN, KISS GETS NO LOVE FROM ROCK HALL OF FAME
It's the tongue, isn't it? For the 11th year in a row, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, that barely respected barometer of musical achievement, has blatantly snubbed Gene Simmons and Kiss for
induction into its sort-of-hallowed establishment. What gives?! Has the Hall's small, totally biased nominating board — including Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, who's more of a
Dylan/Springsteen guy anyway — never driven down a highway in a rusted Camaro cranking Detroit Rock City while eating a six-pack of chalupas? More
Who cares??? We love it and LOVE IT LOUD!!!
Per l'11° anno di fila, la Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, che a stento rispetta il barometro del successo musicale, ha clamorosamente snobbato i KISS di Gene Simmons. More
