Why Not Willie?

Somebody at Future Rock Hall made a post about how the RRHOF fudges on the term "Rock" when nominating (e.g. Donna Summer, Chic), and wondered about Country artists. The names he mentioned were interesting, but none have made an impact on the Rock community. Which is what Bob Wills, Hank Williams Sr. and Bill Monroe did. One name he mentioned did stick out. Willie Nelson. I've long advocated for his induction. Of all the Outlaws, Nelson had the biggest impact on the Rock world. He was a favorite of the Rock press and lord knows he's duetted with tons of Rock singers. A few years ago I saw a semi-final's list online. His name was on it, but lately I can't find the list anywhere. But I know his name was there. Willie Nelson definitely deserves an induction. His influence on Rock music is as profound as Miles Davis, who got nominated and inducted his first time out.
