RockNRoll Induction Ceremony

[Rick Lee]

Jake, the Bee Gees totally deserve to be in the R&R HOF. Disco is way closer to R&R than rap is and I vividly remember listening to a radio station in Dallas when I was very young and hearing Bee Gees, Boston, Peter Frampton, Gerry Rafferty, Leo Sayer and Donna Summer all in the same hour. It was all rock then. I really think disco took on its own brand with the rise of Studio 54 and when Van Halen I came out and single-handedly killed the disco movement for good, guitar rock came back and got bigger than ever.

BTW, did you know Blondie once opened for Rush?

It's becoming clear that the only reasonable way to settle this is by fistfight. Name the time & place.

I will have the disadvantage of being weighted down with 12lbs of fake gold and jeans with the arse where the knees should be.

You will have to overcome limted movement due to your tight pants, and your afro drooping over your eyes once you start to sweat.

I'll beat you down with my guitar in my best Pete Townshend trashing.

True story: [personal anecdote to distract opponent]
When I was 14, I got a guitar for Christmas. I was SOO excited.

Before I even had a chance to play it, my stepfather decided to do a Pete Townsend impersonation... playing it behind his back, swinging it around etc... We were all laughing so hard, him included, that he lost his footing, stumbled back and dropped it down the stairs... trashed it. Complete silence, then we all LOST IT. It took a good 20 minutes before we stopped laughing.

Nowadays that would have been captured on video and all over youtube.
