Country Hall Backlog

You think the Rock Hall is backed up?  The Country Hall wants to have a word with you.
Peter Cooper is a Country music critic/musician and this column:
http://blogs.tennessean.com/tunein/2012/08/31/lets-get-em-all-in-the-hall/?fb_action_ids=3699845941978&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582

pretty much says it all.
He mentions many great names that aren't inducted.  I would add 4 to that list:  Randy Travis, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash and John Anderson.

As an argument against what Cooper advocates.  Chet Flippo, a Hall voter wrote this a week after Cooper's column appears:

He doesn't want the Hall to turn into the Rock Hall, which in his opinion inducts too many people.
