Chrissie Hynde's scathing FB post followed a similarly harsh op-ed from Courtney Love about the lack of female representation in the Rock Hall.
& Roll Hall of Fame enshrinement. On the heels of a scathing op-ed from Hole leader Courtney Love on Friday lambasting the Rock Hall for its lack of female representation, Hynde posted a similarly dismissive Facebook note offering up her pointed opinion on the Hall.“I don’t even wanna be associated with it. It’s just more establishment backslapping,” Hynde wrote. “I got in a band so I didn’t have to be part of all that.
The legendary singer said she was living a happy life in Rio De Janeiro when she was informed that the long-running band was being inducted into the class of 2005. HyndeShe has since, however, thrown dirt on the idea of what she calls the Hall of Fame’sposture, and in the FB post said that when she got the news that her band had been tapped, her “heart sank because I knew I’d have to go back for it as it would be too much of a kick in the teeth to my parents if I didn’t.
In fact, other than Young’s generous induction speech, she said the whole thing was, and is, “totally bollocks. It’s absolutely nothing to do with rock ‘n’ roll and anyone who thinks it is is a fool.”op-ed was a continuation of a thread from earlier in the week in which she criticized the Hall for its lack of female representation, repeating the stat that just 8.48% of inductees are women and that there are only nine women on the organization’s nomination board.
