   I don’t see where to vote “No.”

   You are talking about all the members of Wings, including Linda?…… Let me think about that….. Yeah, I like the “Wildlife” album, and they definitely beat a bunch of the others that are in the R&R Hall……

   I think “The Rutles” should be in the Hall of Fame too……

   You ever hear that bootleg of Linda’s mic while she’s singing backup on “Hey, Jude”? Yikes!

   Paul has already been inducted as a solo artist. Wouldn’t that cover Wings ? On the other hand, since Black Sabbath, Blondie and The Sex Pistols have been inducted, why not throw in Wings. It’s a crime that ELP, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Jethro Tull, Kansas, King Crimson, The Moody Blues and Yes haven’t yet been deemed worthy of this little club. Wasn’t it Groucho who said, “I wouldn’t want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member” ?

   No, haven’t heard the Linda thing for myself, only heard of it. I can imagine it being scary though.

   Not sure how I feel about the R&R Museum, er, Hall. I don’t see much “Roll” in Wings and little, if any, in ELP, Genesis, Gabriel, Tull, etc. The latter group definitely belongs in a Prog Rock Hall.

   You make a good point, Jek, but I don’t think the R&RHOF uses the more narrow definition of “Rock & Roll”. There are more Rhythm & Blues acts among the inductees than anything else. Also, Pink Floyd has already been inducted.

   Okay, there’s some speculation that it _could_ be a hoax, but it’s never been confirmed one way or the other. Find the story and the audio here.

   Yikes. Regardless of if that is a hoax or not: it is horrible! Thanks for the link.

   I recall a similar solo mic recording of her playing tambourine from the early 90’s but don’t remember any of the details.

    Poor Paul just seems to have problems with wife’s, whether they sing or not…… Of course, so did John, but I think he knew Joko was a “Howler” and adjusted his recordings with her accordingly…..
