ThinkingBig Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Go to 1:26 - what the f**k is this ass talking about? "This is one of those inductions that's long overdue. In fact, it's shamefully overdue." He's talking about Randy Newman. Now, I dig Randy Newman -- when I'm at a Pixar movie with my kids. Or at the Hollywood Bowl; mellow adult listening faire. Randy Newman is getting in the RRHOF to add a little diversity. He's interesting and talented and respected—a songwriter who had 2 hits back in the 70's, one big hit in 80's that became the L.A. anthem, and a couple of quirky soundtrack songs. But ROCK AND ROLL?? My God, is Don Henley the biggest asshole or what? "one of those inductions" as if people are tracking and categorizing inductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Farrah Fowler Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The overdue part didn't bother...it was the "he's a humble man." Whatevs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yeah well, RRHOF has a lot to be ashamed of. Like, how does Randy Newman get in before Deep Purple? STFU Henley. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Randy Newman has a lot more in common with rock than Donna Summer and Public Enemy. That said, I really don't care about Randy Newman or Don Henley. The only thing I did notice was the cheers were miniscule compared to when Rush was getting inducted. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cute. :P No offense meant, but unless you put a video in front of me like Don Henley talking about Randy Newman, it's hard to remember last night was about anyone but Rush. :haz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjgittes Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Why should anyone care what Henley rails about? Remember, this is a guy who was crying about us destroying nature at Walden's Pond from the comfort of his huge mansion in Beverly Hills with sports cars in the driveway and got busted when the cops were called to his house after two teenage girls almost overdosed on drugs there. And lest we not forget him admitting the first Eagles reunion tour was only about the $$. So my question stands-Should we care what this guy has to offer us with his holier-than-thou nonsense?
