...riff that brings Pete Townshend's nimble strumming to new heights on "Pinball Wizard." It's Thom Yorke's nasal voice on "Paranoid Android" and the way Nirvana somehow managed to sound loud and muffled at the same time. But is it the saccharine harmonies of Abba's "Dancing Queen"? Pudgy dudes in Led Zeppelin T shirts would probably say no, but the 30 music historians, journalists and industry executives who make up the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's nomination board...

One can’t help but recall the ridicule former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin underwent for being, among other things, a former beauty queen. When a girl can pay for her education without having to prostitute herself, and when a woman can run for a prominent public office without facing the harsh criticism that Scott Brown didn’t face, that will be the day that we are finally on the track...
