And its overpriced for what you get...
therefore i didn't watch whatever you may call an "induction ceremony" for what i consider a very ineffective orginization on VH1 that shit crapload for music television programming...

I have been there as well. You are correct on all fronts. Howver, the Hall of Fame MUSEUM is NOT the hall of fame. it is just a space to display artifacts of rock n roll. The hall of Fame exists as a list of acts honred. I loved seeing Muddy water's guitars. I loved seeing Neil Young's GIANT speakers from the rust never sleeps tour. I loved seeing the john lennon exhibit and all the ephemera donated by various people dealing with the beatles and lennon.
I woudl say I enjoyed about 25% of it. the rest was bullshit. lots of cool guitars though
