I'm more an Airplane fan than a Starship one, probably a reflection of our age difference.

But they "introduced" Grace and all of them gave an unforgettable performance. Of course it didn't hurt that I was in the right state of mind for White Rabbit .

Problem with RNR HOF is there is no real definition of Rock and Roll. I have my definition and you have yours. I certainly wouldn't put someone like Janet Jackson in a million years in the RNR Hall of Fame. Or Michael Jackson for that matter. Soul, R&B, whatever but certainly not rock and roll.

I agree with that a 100%! Madonna, Janet Jackson and many others are not R&R, imo.

Not that I disagree that they aren't deserving of some type of honor, its just that the R&R HOF isn't the place for them.

White Rabbit is all about that state of mind.

Indeed. That is the only possible way you can understand it.

I started a thread in the post-war water cooler section for anyone looking to post play lists/songs they love, but other people may not be aware of. Like a clueless jeweler, check it out if you got some gems you want to freely share.

Eddie Vedder lives in my neighborhood, and Pearl Jam recorded their 1995 live album (Live at Easystreet) at the record store/cafe a block and a half from my home.
