Clueless

There are a lot of fat cats sitting in the front rows of the RRHOF induction ceremonies. Hey, it's Clive and Jon Landau and a bunch of managers and industry big shots. No wonder the biz is in trouble. Where are the real fans? Oh, that's right they can't afford the $1000+ ticket. There was probably no lower moment during the 2008 ceremony than Jann Wenner's welcome speech. Was he clueless when he mentioned that the Hall has plenty more people waiting to be inducted. Or was he clueless when he said that the Hall inducts acts in the Early Influence category. Doesn't he know that no one has been put in there in years? Nominating members insist that Wenner has no major influence over who they choose. But as we've seen with their choices in recent years, they are as clueless as Wenner.
