My favorite is Steve Miller, who when he was inducted in 2016, spent his induction press conference trashing the Hall, complaining about how it’s run, and that they only gave him 2 tickets & told him that his band would have to pay $10K per ticket to attend.

As they should. Standing up for what they believe in.

Still awesome they're being inducted despite what they said about it.

The quote was from 2018, and the stated reason for not attending is because it would interrupt tour dates.

The RRHOF does kinda suck as an institution.
