HOF: Dave Clark Must Be Fucking Jann Wenner

It’s clear that someone needs to define two terms: “rock and roll” and “legendary performer.” Rolling Stone reports that Madonna and John Mellencamp will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year, leading a group that includes Leonard Cohen, the Ventures, the Dave Clark Five and several others.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was an incredible idea in theory, but the nominating committee has been really stretching the boundaries lately. The Dave Clark Five?! Seriously? That’s like inducting Len Barker into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was a good pitcher who had one outstanding year, but was he worthy of the Hall of Motherfucking Fame? The only rationale we can come up with is that Dave Clark has the same dirt on Jan Wenner that Isiah Thomas has on James Dolan.

Well, what’s done is done. So someone rouse this man from his longstanding place next to Pete Best on the unemployment line and tell him what he’s wonnnnn…
