Real musicians don't need "awards."

Some interesting news on Carol Kaye turning down the invite for the next R&R HOF awards.

Good on Carol for keeping her integrity as a musician.

R&R HOF is a goofy production for "entertainers" especially the last few decades.

Just like most speciality magazines and on-line reviewers. Shiny and new turns old therefore reinvigorate sales through award shows and hall of fames.

I did see some older doo wop and bluesman musicos show up for a visit and they all had tuxes and gowns on. they looked happy that anybody remembered them. good eneough fer me yep yep

He’s amongst the most talented musicians in any genre & both a brilliant, prolific writer ( new album just came out) & great performer!
