hi welcome to fun facts with Leslie we
are going to be talking today about the
2006 inductees into the rock and roll
hall of fame we are also going to be
talking about how in my opinion this is
the funniest group of inductees that
anyone possibly could have chosen let me
ask you the viewing public go exactly
chooses who goes into the rock and roll
hall of fame who is this elusive group
of seven hundred experts I’ll tell you
who they are there people who apparently
don’t listen to music now let me begin
by saying that I have nothing against
any of this year’s inductees I think
they’re all wonderful but once we begin
to go down the list I think that you
will see as I have already noticed that
none of them actually play rock and roll
number one Black Sabbath I’m sorry have
you heard Black Sabbath now don’t get me
wrong these guys are fantastic and
they’re pioneers but they are dark and
they are metal number two blondie
blondie okay granted Debbie Harry is
beautiful and heart of glass is I mean
it’s unbelievable want even wraps for
the first time on rapture you know what
I’m gonna leave blondie alone for now
I’m going to say that of all the people
they’ve decided to induct this year that
blondie is the most legitimate Miles
Davis I love Miles Davis as much as you
do but the man is a saxophone player he
is not a rock and roll artist wonderful
inspirational I love Miles Davis but I’m
not sure he should be on this list
Lynyrd sinker
okay they’re fantastic but there was a
plane crash in 1977 if it kills several
of their members including the lead
singer despite the fact that they
replaced him with his younger brother
and pretended that nothing had happened
some of us noticed it’s a lineup had him
slightly altered and I’m not entirely
sure that I would cook them in to the
rock and roll hall of fame just because
they’ve been nominated seven times and
people are tired of shuffling through
their applications there’s no end to the
irony in it
Sex Pistols represents
anti-establishment it can’t take the Sex
Pistols and put them in an establishment
and expected they’re going to be happy
about it the Sex Pistols were were about
everything that the establishment didn’t
stand for and which brings me to my
final point which means what I think is
the funniest thing that they’ve done
they have decided this year that at the
same time as they asked the Sex Pistols
to come and join the rock and roll hall
of fame they’ve asked the founders of am
Albert applause now for those of you who
don’t know here’s a little music trivia
for you amm is the label that dropped
the Sex Pistols and refused to cover
their album you want to know why because
after they offered them a record
contract March 10th 1977 outside
Buckingham Palace they went back to
celebrate at a man’s headquarters and
they celebrated by vomiting all over the
President’s desk a.m. promptly decided
that they would have nothing to do with
the Sex Pistols the Sex Pistols hate am
as a result which is why it’s just
unbelievably hysterical with the rock
and roll establishment decides on on the
same night to honor the sex pistols and
a mmm and you’ll be happy to know as I
was as a Sex Pistols fan bit for sex
pistols at least the same and saying
that they would not be attending the
ceremony because and I quote them we are
not your monkey
