The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opened in Cleveland, Ohio, with Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Booker T and the MGs, Little Richard, The Allman Brothers, Boz Scaggs, James Brown and Martha Reeves making contributions.

While I’m a huge fan of the concept of a Hall of Fame, it’s disheartening to see politics sometimes overshadow the music itself. At the end of the day, it’s the music that truly matters, and I hope that takes center stage one day
