Performed around 2,000 times. Multiple instruments.
I generally agree with the article.
I think excellent performances at the RR HOF induction are a distinct minority. Mostly they're pedestrian, which is anathema to a Hall Of Fame.
I don't believe they're serious about the music because the mix is almost always rotten. Not HOF worthy fir sure.
It's morphed in a pop music concept. Which is fine, but it isn't rock.
It's just a museum now.

It's really all pop music once you move away from the original Rock n Rollers of the 1950's. Omnipresent Jan 2025 #10

The jerk that wrote this article likely never picked up a musical instrument in their life. Basso8vb Jan 2025 #4

So rock is for the sake of the bands, not the listening public? The best I can do is tune a guitar ... marble falls Jan 2025 #8
