David Geffen and Quincy Jones

Roger Friedman is reporting that David Geffen will get into the Rock Hall in 2010.

I've got no problem with Geffen, he's got the credentials. But so does Quincy Jones. Jones continues to be blacklisted by the Rock Hall. Whether because of his rambling induction speech for Neshui Ertegun or because he started Vibe magazine in competition with Rolling Stone.
If Friedman is right, those who say that politics doesn't play a role in the Rock Hall will be wrong again.
