Ep. 88 -- Please Do Not Burn Down the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

from Hooks & Runs · host A podcast about baseball, music and culture.

In 2016, Dave Bry wrote an article in The Guardian suggesting the best way to celebrate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction that year was to go to Cleveland and burn the museum to the ground. Now, that's a little extreme, but let's be honest -- when it comes to the RRHOF there is a little something for everyone to hate. It's too exclusive. It's too inclusive. That's not rock & roll. Why won't you let me play with my old band. The tickets are too damn expensive. And so on. The new crop of RRHOF nominees are out and this week the Hooks & Runs crew cast their vote. And despite what Rex (and Dave Bry), the rock & roll hardliner in the crew says, no, we really do not want you to burn down the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. And yeah, we get it -- that's not a very rock & roll thing to say.Check It Out:Andrew: bbno$ & Rich Brian, "edamame [Miky Woodz Remix]"Rex: Riot Act's new single, "Stand or Fall"Craig: The Menzingers singer, songwriter, guitarist Gregor Barnett's debut solo LP, "Don't Go Throwing Roses in My Grave"Errata: "Jocko Homo," not "Mondo Jocko." That's just embarrassing.
