Dolly Parton pulls her name from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ballots

[Hellbilly]

If hank williams and nate king cole are in there any bum with a hit record can qualify

and dolly parton has had more than a few

First all, it's Nat, not Nate.

Second from the Rockhall website:

Leaders in the music industry joined together in 1983 to establish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. One of the Foundation’s many functions is to recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of rock and roll by inducting them into the Hall of Fame.
Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artists’ contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.

hank williams is in as an early influence...

Yet Hank was pure country

how about the black lady,

Sister something or other from the 1950’s?

her name escapes me but she could really rock

 

[Harry Dresden]

Yet Hank was pure country

elvis and the beatles site him as an influence...

"The country music icon and philanthropist, 76, said in a statement shared on Instagram on Monday that she is "extremely flattered and grateful" to be nominated – but doesn't want the votes to be split because of her nomination. So, she's respectfully bowing out."

I love this lady!! Total class.

She feels that she has not earned the spot on the ballot. And she may be right. But her lack of ego is certainly refreshing.

Her boobs deserve to be in the RR Hall of fame.

WTF are you talking about? That's pure country, even if Ringo covered it.

 

[metalwolf]

Is Dolly a rocker? No. That hall of fame is a farce. Full of non rock and roll nominees.

Yup.

Like what is a rap and a disco act doing in the rock n roll hall of fame?

Isn't disco like the enemy of rock music,i read in the late 1970's there was a disco demolition night at a sports stadium.

The Rock N Roll Hall of fame judges wouldn't know rock in roll if it blasted their ear drums.
