Really, what are the nomination requirements for this? Because 2009's inductees included F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Carlos Williams, and Shaq.  Good thing you can't raise the dead for the class picture.

I know, I love how random the nominations are ... none of that "first song had to release 25 years ago" or whatever the rule is for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Unless there's an entire wing dedicated to Perth Amboy's Rachel Bolan and Dave "Snake" Sabol, this HoF is a disgrace.

Very thoughtless of them to hold this ceremony the same day as a Lakers playoff game.

Frankie Valli just gives me the creeps. Always has.
