: Brother Flea!!!
I thought I was your uncle! I think to be one's brother AND uncle one of us would have to marry our sister, and I don't live in West Virginia.
: I for one am glad to see you back!!
Haven't been anywhere, just (brace yourself) haven't had anything to say.
:I had my doubts about the R-n-R Hall of shame when the Stooges DID NOT get in but Fleetwood Mac and the eagles did
Iggy provided the truest rock & roll moment at the Concert for the HoF in '95 when he inserted a verse of "Now I Wanna Be Your Dog" into "Back Door Man" and then said "Thanks, fuckers!" It really seemed like he wasn't supposed to be there and had snuck in. You're right that it's no shock that the dinosaurs you mentioned are in there, but the Stooges' absence is inexcusable.
:You have settled it once and for all as far as myself ever going!!
It was not my intention to urge anyone not to go. Everyone should make up their own mind. But I wouldn't suggest going to Cleveland JUST to see it.
: Those wurlizer horns you saw, where they the old Leslie's?
Not any leslie I've ever seen. They didn't look like they rotated, and if they did they would take someone's head off. They literally stuck out three feet and looked like the horns you see guys blowing at Renaissance faires. There are six of them pointing every which way. It is the most amazing and ridiculous and cool contraption I've ever seen, and is nearly worth the price of admission for anyone who likes unusual amps.
