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.

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!

Obviously, Carol is not among them. I have total respect for her and her position. Personally, I'd be curious to see the spectacle. Maybe ask them to let me sneak in unannounced and disguised, sit at some anonymous table of industry folk 30 rows deep, and dutifully applaud when they announced that I wasn't present...
