Watching the 2022 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame induction on HBO

One of the best parts was John Mellencamp introducing Allen Grubman’s induction.

John said “ fuck antisemitism “ ! And a few other things. Here’s an article about that and it includes a link to video of John if you haven’t seen it.

Also, Allen Grubman is Jewish by the way…AND a co-founder of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. We wouldn’t have the hall of fame without this Jewish lawyer.

And BTW…Fuck you YE (or Kanye) or whoever you are today and tomorrow. Fuck all of you pieces of shit that hate.


Another vid here.

was a gem for sure, along with the accompanying video with Sting, The Boss, Bono and a few others. Grubman's speech was great too.

The entire hall dancing to 'All Night Long' was probably the highlight to me ... along w/Dolly's 'rock and roll song' which was cute as all hell. And Coat of Many Colors made me cry a little. I remember not having the right clothes because my family was relatively poor when I was young and I was teased so much ... brought it all back.

Interesting too. And his thanks list was huge and he was almost rapping it and it was alphabetical AND he shouted them all out to highlight that Hip Hop hasn’t been included.
