Steve Miller wants to tear down the RRHOF

“I don’t want to be a belong to any club that will accept me as a member.”
Ok, that Groucho Marx quote isn’t exactly accurate, but Steve Miller still isn’t happy about being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
As we discussed previously, Miller was quite vocal about his distaste for the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony, of which he was finally inducted after a long wait. Miller infamously railed on the Hall at the post ceremony press conference but on the Howard Stern Show, he had a lot more to say:
“It's gonna get better. I'm gonna get these guys. They're gonna be sorry that they treated all these people this way…I'm planning to keep it in the news. I'm planning to investigate them. I've already got all of their public documents. I want to see where they're spending the money. I wanna see who's being paid. I wanna check it all out ... The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's actually going to go to Cleveland. The Museum's actually gonna mean something. The funding they raise is actually gonna be used for music education before I'm done."
Miller trashed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee, calling them “fucked-up” and “inbred”.
Is this the rambling of a cranky old man or is Miller on to something with the Rock and Roll Hall?
Either way, it will always be interesting in Cleveland.
