Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Tbf, there aren't a lot of women on that list. I saw Jay Z and no Beyonce? Tina Turner is alongside Ike? Idk, from that list, she probably shouldn't take it personally, they don't seem to dig chicks doing music. https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/a-z

I dunno, I think it's pretty reasonable for "chicks" to take that personally.

Real question, they suck and are obviously sexist, why would any woman want to be part of that crowd? Being recognized as a great by them is like being recognized by nazis. Rock and Roll is based on black blues, he didn't think that black people were thoughtful enough to include in the "masters" list, he actually said that. When someone asked why no POC or women in the masters book, he mentioned that he supposed he could have included a couple of black men or something and named a couple. That list is BS and doesn't matter.

I'm glad Cher is calling it out, because I learned that the hall of fame is a sham and incredibly bad, but I really think she shouldn't take it personal. Honestly, that one should be replaced, someone in the music industry should make a new one that reflects the actual industry.
