Brian D 10:09:29 AM
Devo!
Jen (host) 10:11:26 AM

Mark 10:15:17 AM
devo(tees) still smarting over their RnR HoF snub yesterday :( there actually was quite a push on their part to try to get inducted
Colin McDonnell 10:15:39 AM
Punk rock saxophone!! essential ingredients to a stellar day.
Christine {¤_θ}° 10:16:27 AM
After hearing Devo, my morning just improved 103.3%
Colin McDonnell 10:16:45 AM
lol clever percentages.
Jen (host) 10:17:05 AM
wow, not that i am a fan of the RnR Hall of Fame, but what the hell were they thinking?
Jen (host) 10:17:40 AM
and Iron Maiden and New York Dolls ignored??? lordie.
Colin McDonnell 10:19:04 AM
They did induct the cure. So I have mixed feeling about the rnrhof. the devo snub is a major dig on the record tho.
Mark 10:19:34 AM
yeah it’s a bit of a bogus institution but lots take it quite seriously/ go gos were ecstatic they got induction
Jen (host) 10:20:59 AM
I can't fathom the voting process, but yay for the Go-Go's...Foo Fighters? Geeeeeeeez. Who else should be in there?
Colin McDonnell 10:21:48 AM
wprb should be in there for being wprb.
Mark 10:21:49 AM
