| Long live Rock? 2022 R&R HOF It's crap. It totally ignores quality, and focuses on popularity/album sales. No Squeeze, Graham Parker, Richard Thompson, Midnight Oil, The Smiths...; but a lot of 80s hair bands, rap and pop. Did I mention that it's crap? How about a thread ... | |
| Seeking assistance in Pittsburgh area Eddie, since you have the technical know how, maybe you could hire a handyman to mount the TV, and either they can help with the rest, or you could hire two local HS students to assemble the system. | |
