Tina Turner, The Go-Gos, and LL Cool J Are Now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

How has Tina Turner not ALREADY been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? If it’s the Foo Fighters’ year this year, then her time should’ve come a decade ago at least, and certainly in a time when she was able to attend. In fact, The Go-Gos and Carole King also seem overdue. HMM. And Jay-Z got in this year in “Performer,” but LL Cool J was inducted as “Musical Excellence”? What… is the difference, exactly? Are they saying Jay-Z is not musically excellent but he can spit it on stage, or that LL Cool J is talented musically but a real dud live? That seems wrong on both counts. I wonder if having a few areas in which to induct people allows them to stretch the boundaries to get more celebs, and/or induct people more than once?
