and speaking of Gene Simmons...

Kiss is among the dozen possible inductees for the 2010 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Vying for one of the 5 induction spots are first-time hopefuls LL Cool J, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, The Hollies, and the late Laura Nyro, alongside previous ballot makers ABBA, The Chantels, Darlene Love, The Stooges, and Donna Summer.

Hmmm...as much as we hate Kiss, they deserve induction; dunno if the Peppers or Donna Summer have enough merit to actually belong in the Hall; Genesis before Yes? Um, nope. The Hollies should've been in there ages ago; Stooges, too. ABBA? Uh...probably; Nyro seems like an insider fave and will likely get in. Then again, Ms. Love hasn't yet, even after various tries, so...

And once more, why the hell are Hall and Oates not on the ballot?! Again?

Good luck to all, anyway.
