“However I believe through the years, and possibly we deserve a spot, however they’ve a variety committee that chooses what bands go in and what bands do not.
And there is nothing we will do about that actually.
“All I do know is that we have been going for over 52 years now, have 25 albums, bought over 40 million albums, and have toured in 62 nations, so there’s some advantage for us to be there.

I am one among these individuals who can go onstage and produce an ego to carry out, however then I can depart it onstage and are available again and be Joe Schmo once more. They’re the weather actually, and the truth that you introduced a lot pleasure to individuals’s lives and impressed individuals. Essentially the most rewarding factor for me is when individuals come as much as me after the present and say, ‘Look, I noticed you play at such and such place and also you blew me away and it was incredible and also you made me need to be in music, and I now play in a band, and I simply need to thanks for it.’ And that is essentially the most rewarding factor, inspiring individuals to deliver music into their lives, as a result of to be sincere, music is life and life is music.”
