We (okay, me) at Shake It Records in Cincinnati think the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is fraud, wrapped in a lie, folded into a sham, and baked in political glad-hand/back-scratch re-around crock pot of crap.

So, what are we gonna do about it? The same thing we do about every year. We have established our own RAWK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME (R-A-W-K) - because the big boys in Cleveland gave us the stink-eye.

Every year about this time we throw a party, elected bands/artist that we think the "real" HOF would never give the time of day, and place them in out lil' gallery of greatness. But just to keep things at a nice boil, we at the same time kick out bands/artist who have shoe horned their way into that glorified gift shop up north.

Moments after last years throwdown, which was co-hosted with me by Chunklet czar Henry, he INSTANTLY pledged his services for this year. And so it shall be.

H20 hates this
