Oh, he does. Here's a quote from Peter Tork:
"Jann Wenner is single-handedly keeping us out of the Hall of Fame," the mop-topped bass player for the '60s group told Page Six. He said Wenner, who co-founded and is a vice-chairman of the Cleveland-based museum, "doesn't care what the rules are and just operates how he sees fit. It is an abuse of power. I don't know whether The Monkees belong in the Hall of Fame, but it's pretty clear that we're not in there because of a personal whim."
The article goes on about Wenner's influence and alleged abuse of it with regard to the Hall of Fame. Read more at the New York Post.
