The Black Keys regret inducting Steve Miller
Apr 13, 2016

Not in Hall of Fame News
Another day, another news item from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony last week.
The Black Keys (Pat Carney and Dan Auerbach) were the inductors for Steve Miller but in an interview with Rolling Stone, they were less than thrilled with how it all went down.
Auerbach had the following to say:
“Honestly, the most unpleasant part was being around him…Pat and I both regret" having accepted the invitation to induct Miller.
We got a really uncomfortable feeling when we first met Steve, he had no idea who we were. No idea. The first thing he told us was, ‘I can't wait to get out of here.’
This is like three days out of my life flying from Nashville and leaving my kids at home.
"(For) me personally, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has only ever really brought me joy since I was a teenager. I used to go there with my dad [when] they would do workshops. They're responsible for a lot of really positive things in my life. So when they asked us to do this, as much as I wanted to do it for Steve Miller, I wanted to do it for the Rock Hall. Because it has been a form of inspiration for me. It really has. I don't care if it sounds corny or not, but they have been. It just all felt pretty terrible.
When you get wealthy, when you get famous, it doesn't change you. It only amplifies who you are deep down inside. If you're just a grumpy guy, then you're just an extra grumpy guy [laughs]. But we learned just as much from that as we do from meeting nice people.
I hope that when I'm in my twilight years, I can look back and be grateful to the people who have appreciated me and to be able to give back.”
The Black Keys also noted that they left the ceremony halfway through Miller’s set and that they have no beef with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
As previously discussed, Miller was furious with the way he felt that he was treated by the Rock and Roll Hall of Famed, citing how the organization only provided two tickets to the event and any additional ones would have to be purchased for $10,000 each.
Do you think next year’s ceremony will be drama free?
We don’t either.

While the Philadelphia Flyers had some good news by clinching the final slot in the Eastern Conference they organization suffered some very bad news as the team’s founder, Ed Snider, passed away at the age of 83.
Snider brought the game to Philadelphia in 1967 during the National Hockey League’s expansion from 6 teams to 12. The Flyers were an instant hit (as Snider knew it would be) and they hold the distinction of being the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup.
Snider would later own the Philadelphia 76ers and would enter the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Ed Snider at this time.

It is a very sad day for fans of the New Orleans Saints as former Defensive End and Super Bowl Champion, Will Smith was shot and killed following a car accident with another motorist.
Smith was driving his Mercedes SUV, when he was rear ended by the driver of a Hummer. The driver, Cardell Hayes, shot Smith multiple times following a verbal altercation between the two. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene.
Will Smith played his entire career with the New Orleans Saints and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2006. He recorded 67.5 Sacks over his career.
A leader of the Saints defense, Smith was a vital cog in the team’s Super Bowl 44 victory.
The Saints announced today that Smith had been unanimously selected to the teams Hall of Fame, a month prior to what was supposed to be the official announcement on May 17.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com offer our condolences to the friends and family of Will Smith.

More RRHOF Notes

The 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is in the books and there are a few more notes worth discussing.
When N.W.A. accepted their induction, the group took a shot at Gene Simmons:
“I want to say to Gene Simmons that hip-hop is here forever”
MC Ren
“The question is, ‘Are we rock ‘n’ roll?’ And I say — you goddamn right we rock ‘n’ roll. Rock ‘n’ roll is not an instrument. It’s not even a style of music. It’s a spirit that’s been going on since the blues, jazz, bebop, soul, rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, heavy metal, punk rock, and yes, hip-hop. Rock ‘n’ roll is not conforming to the people who came before you, but creating your own path in music and life. That is rock ‘n’ roll and that is us.”
Ice Cube
The comments by the N.W.A. members were prompted by Simmons’ earlier comments who stated a month ago that he looked forward to when artists were no longer speaking during songs and went back to lyrics and harmony.
Simmons has previously been vocal against other artists who were in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, namely Grandmaster Flash, Madonna and Donna Summer, who he stated that if you asked them if they were rock and roll, that they would have answered a different genre.
The blood spewing bass player has always been open about his dislike of rap music and also of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame itself, as it took the band far too long to get inducted, but we are not among those who believe that he is correct on his opinion of N.W.A. and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
While we here at Notinhalloffame.com are big fans of both Kiss and N.W.A., sorry Gene, you are in the wrong here. Especially for someone who has railed continuously in the past about the hypocrisy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Let’s move on.
Steve Miller also made headlines, though not for what occurred on the stage. In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony press room, Miller was very open about his discontent with the ceremony itself in where he was only granted two tickets; one for him and one for his wife. Had he wanted to invite anyone else, he would have been subject to a $10,000 charge per ticket.
If this is accurate, it is impossible not to sympathize with Miller’s plight as this seems to be in line with issues that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony has been synonymous with.
Again for many the main story was not who was there but who wasn’t. Ritchie Blackmore did not attend, though Deep Purple did say that he was invited to the event but not to play. Former Chicago frontman, Peter Cetera was also not present, but it was more noteworthy as to how little people paid attention to that story.
Either way, we love the drama and can’t wait to see what happens next!
