The Stooges have been on the nominations list for the past fuck-knows-how-many-years and have never got in. (When REM (who were inducted the first time they were nominated (ie: the first year they were eligible) and Patti Smith got inducted in 2007 they made a point (protest) by playing "I Wanna Be Your Dog" together at the ceremony..)
Iggy has not been inducted as a solo artist either (compare with Lou Reed who got in twice.. once with the VU, once as a solo artist.)
Whoever it is votes for this shit has no regard or respect for Iggy.
So, as an Iggy fan, I say FUCK the hall of fame. If The Stooges get in this year it will be sad because Ron was the only one who really wanted it. I hope Iggy tells them to fuck off (he won't, but I wish he would.)
