I can't remember anything Don said about the Kennedy Center Honors Award but I'm pretty sure he posted a link to the petition requesting, he, Randy and Bernie should be included in the event, on his twitter page. So I assume he agrees with it. (the petition, that is) :nope:
I don't think Joe will be be (publicly) bitter, unless he's offered a Nashville induction next year. I'm still waiting for Joe's 2015 Colorado induction to take place. :roll:
Re: Don to be inducted in the Nashville Muscians Hall of Fame
I thought it was for the beginning of the song, not the end.
I guess my opinion that the beginning is not a 'riff' in the strict sense is incorrect. To me a riff is short & straight to the point, like Smoke On The Water or Life In The Fast Lane (well, LITFL is a little longer but it is far more of a riff than the start of HC is).

I briefly considered the possibility of attending. It would be great to see Don get his award and perform, too!
It's a long drive...i live south of Detroit...but I'm in Nashville now to see Schmit at city winery, so it's definitely doable as long as he performs! Otherwise I'll wait and hope he comes somewhere closer
Re: Don to be inducted in the Nashville Muscians Hall of Fame
Don stated in his post of the petition, that people shOuld sign it on behalf of his friends, Ransy and Bernie.
Re: Don to be inducted in the Nashville Muscians Hall of Fame
Tonight's the night Don gets inducted. :yay: According to the website, he will be performing with Peter Frampton. Too bad it won't be televised.

Well, personally I hear no riffs in HC. Chord progressions and licks, sure, but no riffs.
Re: Don to be inducted in the Nashville Muscians Hall of Famem
I'm not sure how literal the Hall of Fame is taking the term "riff" but it sounds better than The Iconic Chord Progression or The Iconic Lick Award.
Btw, here's some photos from last night's ceremony. A couple of Don's pics are scattered throughout but most are from 22-32, including one where he accepts the award from Peter Frampton.

I was trying to figure out who's on his shirt. It looks like U2.
Some great pictures. He performed with Kenny G. How cool.
