In case you missed it, the Class of 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was announced...
YES MADE IT IN.
Now Jann Wenner can go cry in his cheery oats, I'm done with the Hall now.

They are:
Joan Baez
Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
Journey
Pearl Jam
Tupac Shakur
and Yes
The others were all first-timers. Yes was a bridesmaid for a long time. The kind of nonsense spouted by some of the Hall members last year was absurd. Steve Miller was inducted last year and let off with a long tongue-lashing of the Hall, when you get him angry you might as well give up, he's a very wise man with more moxie in one hand than five Picassos, and why did he wait almost 50 years?
Who knows if they'll actually perform or take the KISS option and not jam?
There were plenty of things for Miller to be angry about...you win and you can't really afford to bring the family at, what was it, $10,000 a pop?
After that the press conference was cut short, leaving Cheap Trick's members to have an unofficial chat with the media and kinda say "Hey, we're here"? But most of them last year were not happy that Yes wasn't already in.
That's like your parents paying for the wedding and they aren't allowed to come!
Rick Wakeman has already stated he will NOT perform, and who knows if Jon Anderson will join the band...I'm guessing not. Steve Howe was interview and wasn't happy about them not getting there while Chris Squire was alive, but he was at least diplomatic and acknowledged that the fans really want Union 2 to happen, preferably in time for the band's 50th anniversary in 2018, but of course in no way committal.
Yes is basically Howe's band now. Drummer Alan White is coming along after his recovery, ARW (Anderson Rabin and Wakeman) are having a ball and lighting up venues everywhere..."two" Yeses is good for now.
I am happy for all the inductees, I never listened to 2Pac a lot but acknowledge his presence on his genre as being major...and I have loved all the rest for years, so I think it's great.
But I'm done with the hullabaloo.
