The years pass, and the old guard, those you could count on to show up at an induction ceremony, they are all very old, or dead. Or they are Jann Wenner and he wasn't there, either. Now the inductees are my age (or dead).

I saw Sheryl Crow open for Crowded House in early 1994. She was on her first single then, now it's almost thirty years later and she is playing a duet with Olivia Rodrigo, who is twenty days younger than our eldest living child.

The Rock Hall has protested its relevance and the "power of music" but really, it was always about nostalgia. That's why I stayed up past midnight to experience it, though I will probably not be doing that again. I was there for George.
