Young? I'd be surprised if Bono didn't come out on stage with a walker. Those guys are nearly ancient. Though not approaching a Keith Richard like, pickled in alcohol status, U2 released it's first CD in what, the 80's? They've been at it over 20 years. They're way closer to my generation than to the "younger" generation.

Possibly nudged to vote for them by their 2 most recent SNL appearances,I see this "vote" as a transperent attempt to make the awards show "young viewer" freindly!
Is the panel at The R&R H.O.F. so afraid to vote in older acts just to please the people at VH 1 and their demographic,that they'll keep The Moody Blues,Lynard Skynard,Procol Harum,ELO,KISS,Heart and (in my opinion)The Grass Roots & Gordon Lightfoot shut out for yet another year? Come on!

Again,no bad will to the inductees,they're great too but next year,I want to see the ones that have been waiting! Like last year's class,if you please! It's been me and yes,I'm still going to watch. March 15th folks! Later!
