That was an interview? It was more like an IMDb bio with some quotes.

Mysteriously enough, Francis has not been inducted into the coveted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is quite a glaring omission, since she has influenced countless artists, especially women, that followed in her footsteps. She was a true pioneer and trailblazer. “I am not alone. Neil Sedaka and Paul Anka are not in there either. It is really political,” she said.

Who did she piss off??

Her weirdo fans regularly create these false stories. They're not helping her any.

I don't think she "pissed off" anybody. The R&R Hall of Fame is just a joke, that's all. They never inducted the Monkees and they certainly should have been in there. Johnny Winter, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, is not in it. And so many others. It's just a crock of shit.

Did the interview take place at a Howard Johnson’s? Can she identify the person who “miked” her from behind other than saying a black dude?

I agree R6. Madonna inducted before Cher, Dionne Warwick, Lesley Gore, Pat Benatar, etc? The Foo Fighters inducted before Steppenwolf, Tommy James & The Shondells, Iron Maiden, etc?

Just throw the whole organization in the garbage!

R2, the music industry resented her making such a big deal about her "incident," which for most women in music used to mean "just another Monday night."

The fact that it wasn't a producer or fellow star doesn't change the fact that women served one purpose with the business beyond the green it could squeeze out of them.

R9 And THERE it is. The response this thread was made for- attacking Madonna! Cunt, Madonna deserved to get in WAY before all of those combined. Some of them shouldn’t even be in there. Madonna got in unanimously in her FIRST year of eligibility. Suck it, haters.

R8 And don’t forget, when he was done with her, he buried her alive under…a mattress.

Cher and Nancy Sinatra should be in the R&R Hall of Fame.

History has been kinder to her than her own career was.
