Rock Hall voters " know too much"

[Lerxster]

They eat too much

They drink too much

They want too much

Too much

[Tommy Sawyer]

Is Paul Simon in the hall?

 

I certainly hope so

[Mr. Not]

They need to make a real RRHOF... One without Madonna, and with Deep Purple, Stratovarius, etc :haz:

 

RESPECT POWER METAL :haz:

It's kind of funny, they release a statement that is supposed to be a blanket excuse of why certain people aren't in the RRHOF yet, but really it makes everyone think they're more full of shit then they already did. Time to fire their public relations people. ;)

 

The fact that they felt the need to release a statement attempting to explain the induction process is more revealing than what's in the statement itself. If acts were truly inducted based on "impact, influence, innovation and excellence" there wouldn't be any controversy about the Hall of Fame.

 

This is the truest statement yet!

I don't know why but this song came to mind reading the link.

 

I'm not aware of too many things,

But I know what I know if you know what I mean.

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.

Religion is the smile on a dog.

I'm not aware of too many things,

But I know what I know if you know what I mean.

Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am.

Are you what you are - or what?

I'm not aware of too many things,

But I know what I know if you know what I mean.

Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks.

Religion is a light in the fog.

I'm not aware of too many things,

But I know what I know if you know what I mean.

Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am.

Are you what you are - or what?

Don't let me get too deep.

Edie!

 

This deserves a few songs by Edie's husband:

 

 

"They say that the left side of the brain

Controls the right

They say that the right side

Has to work hard all night

Maybe I think too much for my own good

Some people say so

Other people say no no

The fact is

You don't think as much as you could

hmmm"

 

or, short and sweet-

 

"The more I got to thinkin, The less I tend to laugh"

Her hubby wrote some good ones

 

Really one of the best lyricist ever, who else would have come up with

 

"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls!"

It is true. Paul Simon is one of the greatest lyricists and songwriters, ever. I love his performance too.

 

I love Paul Simon's music.

 

I have no idea if the RRHOF voters "know too much". I only know what I know, ya know?

 

I know what I know

I'll sing what I've said

We come and we go

It's this thing that I do in the back of my head

 

Edit: cleaned up punctuation and such

Punctuation is important...good job!

 

Technically Simon is before my time, so thankful my mom exposed me to his music.

 

Paul Simon 80's albums (One Trick Pony, Hearts and Bones, Graceland) are really fantastic. Rhythm of the Saints squeezes in as a 90's album. So, not too old.
