"I have found out lately that it’s not necessarily that. But if they can’t go there to be recognized, where do they go? And so I felt like I was taking away from someone that maybe deserved it certainly more than me, because I never considered myself a rock artist. But obviously, there’s more to it than that."
Said Dolly Parton, quoted at The Vulture. Last month, she had declined to be considered for the honor.

Dolly is a rare bird. Classy. all the way.
Dolly Parton has memorabilia displayed in several Hard Rock Cafes, so she has that going for her, which is nice.
She’s the best.
look how admirable and respectful she is of her fellow musicians.
You see the same in the eyes of other greats watching another play, its a fine trait.
it's not an easy life.
Rich and famous or undersung, musicians do seem fated to share in a splendid, anguished, demanding calling for melody-making.
Hats off to them all. Especially the ladies that give music lessons to dull kids in the afternoons and sings at the piano of the touristy dinner house every Wednesday night. I bet Dolly tips big.
Yep, she's is a very nice person. Frankly, I'm puzzled why her fans want her in the R&R hall of fame. What's the point.
I think the Hall of Fame is running out of plausible candidates. Everyone who is anyone has been inducted already.
She is what America is Supposed to Be.
Talented
Kind
Generous
Busty and Beautiful
oh, don't forget
Fabulously Wealthy
but, but what about neil?
Her work with Emmlou Harris and Linda Ronstadt should count as Rock and Roll. Their version of "After the Goldrush" is spectacular - that alone is HOF caliber.

Um, just off the top of my head I can think of Judas Priest, Styx and Kansas.
There are many, many others.
Exceptionally prescient move by DP a month ago. Completely blunts any criticism directed toward her. I wonder how that came about.
I get that the fans vote, but who did the nomination?

A podcast I listen to has a co-host who yearly laments the weird non-rock inductions going ahead of Foreigner.
Me?
If Dolly's in, I want MYRON FLOREN!
Award can be accepted by Lou Gramm.
So Lawrence Welk was already inducted?
Don't get me going about Larry!!

They could think outside the box and offer membership to Bobby Bonds, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Pete Rose, and Shoeless Joe Jackson.
I recently watched Dolly’s documentary on Netflix.
She’s a rare bird, yes.
As in: one of a kind. The best kind. I really think she’s of 2minds- and the common room between the two?
That’s the best part<3
The first big mistake was Cleveland. Nothing against Cleveland, but they dont even have the ceremony in Cleveland. They have promised but they really dont want to.
It would have been a heck of a lot easier having a MUSIC museum. And then have different genres as wings like Epcot. But no Pedo stuff.
Remember that Louis Armstrong rock song? Well, he's in.
Makes sense right?
But im a Nazi, so theres that.
Her 'Imagination Book Club' is an example of her heart. Free book every year, up to age five.
The RRHOF is trying to lure in more clients, voters, customers and she’s not playing along.

Consider that the B52s have never even been nominated. I can't figure out if the RRHOF has an agenda I can't comprehend, or if they're flat stupid and don't understand the business they're in.

And.
As Gamble Roger once opined: Classy is as classy does.
Here are a few.
Cab Calloway
Jethro Tull
Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Grand Funk Railroad
The Monkees
Steppenwolf
Three Dog Night
Bad Company
The Guess Who
Ozzy
New York Dolls
Thin Lizzy
Tommy James
Blood, Sweat & Tears
J. Geils Band
Joe Cocker
For a start.
The RRHOF is nothing more than a monument to Jann Wenner's and Dave Marsh's egos.
The RRHOF exists to sell tickets to the RRHOF.
They would induct the Eagles, again, if the band would agree. The B-52s were great, no doubt. But people will not pay $2500 per ticket to see them being inducted.
