Ain't no r'n'r in RRHOF. I mean, I've nothing against genres such as hip-hop etc. being included, persay, but why call it "rock'n'roll" when most nominees are anything but?
Ironically, this sentence shows how female musicians are not taken seriously. Inclusion in the RRHOF will not change that in any way.Her induction would also be good for women musicians, many of whom are bass players, and hot ones too.
Also - she thoroughly schooled old Gene Simmons . . .

It's a shame she's getting hung up on the name.
My understanding is that she can be quite a handful when she’s in a mood.
Luckily when I met her it was in a very public place (the NAMM Show) and she was very nice to me…gracious even.
If you can't say something nice...
But the truth is, my whole career has been dedicated to giving people an alternative to things like "Dead Man's Curve" and "Daydream Believer". Her work isn't really included in what I call rock and roll.![]()

Let's curb the name-calling. You don't like her. Fine. Everyone can have an opinion. But your comment is way out of line.Kaye is not well. She claims she is the bass player on "Bernadette" and "I Was Made To Love Her", and feels comfortable taking credit away from the late James Jamerson who is not here to defend himself. What a sack of trash.
Yeah, "Like a rhinestone cowgirl" just doesn't convey the same level of snark. It's just not fair for men! They're' not allowed to be glamorous.Men get objectified if they're "hot," too. Elvis, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Bruno Mars, Sam Cooke, Tom Jones... But it's obviously different for women.
I certainly take female musicians seriously. Are you implying that "being taken seriously" and recognizing their hotness can't coexist?Ironically, this sentence shows how female musicians are not taken seriously. Inclusion in the RRHOF will not change that in any way.
Bravo.
The Rock HOF is a joke. Unfortunately for Cleveland, the only bigger joke is the Browns.
Oh, yes, it is. You're just not in the room.This isn’t because I have seven sisters, but that whole bag of crap about “oh, she’s being difficult” or “she’s quite a handful” or “she’s certainly bitchy” or she’s this or that - when it’s never applied that way to men.
Maybe you're not familiar with Carol's body of work, or the tensions within the union in the '60s, or the shift to FM radio. Or maybe you were part of the star maker machinery and feel defensive. I preferred Muddy Waters' wall of sound to Phil Spector's. But yes, there was an alternative music movement in the '60s. It gave birth to what you now call "Classic Rock".Hard core man ! Real alternative? Like you don’t use Guitars do you?
Count me among the people who think the RR HOF is a bad idea.
Carole Kaye is a strange and litigious/combative person. Her claims to have played Jamerson's bass parts were egregious. If you're not a bass player you probably don't care, but if you ARE, you know that Jamerson was an amazingly inventive and creative musician.
I was trying to be kind and not say “She can be a real disagreeable pain in the a**” because she can be….in spades.This isn’t because I have seven sisters, but that whole bag of crap about “oh, she’s being difficult” or “she’s quite a handful” or “she’s certainly bitchy” or she’s this or that - when it’s never applied that way to men.
With dudes it’s just that “oh, he’s a real bad ass” or “he sticks to his guns” or “he’s a real
Wanna bet?Yeah, "Like a rhinestone cowgirl" just doesn't convey the same level of snark. It's just not fair for men! They're' not allowed to be glamorous.
