5. c'mon. i love carly, but

i dont see her in a class w dolly in any way.
she was very good, but she didnt have the kind of long, steady career that gets you in the hall.

and in terms of impact on the music as a whole? nah.

6. It's long past time to stop putting weight into these "halls of fame"

There are tons of acts who should have been recognized years ago but still aren't in...for example Joe Cocker

8. It's more than that...

True, a lot of worthy candidates have been left out. But it's the politics that have kept some of them out (The Monkees, for one) that is disturbing. No one should be taking the RRHOF seriously. They certainly haven't done so.

9. The same is true for the Country HoF

It's cool to visit these places and see the incredible artifacts but the selection process is a joke

7. The RRHall is such a joke.

I'm sorry she turned around on this. They really don't deserve her.

10. I agree.

11. Did she have a change of heart?

In the older article, she had asked not to be considered, but the author pointed out that it wasn't really up to her. I don't see that she indicated wouldn't accept it, if voted in.

In this Morning Edition interview, Terry acknowledges that Dolly didn't want to be considered, then asked her what she would do if she was voted in anyway.

I only skimmed the two articles, maybe I missed something.

12. I've never won a popularity contest in my life.

I think that says more about contest than me.

13. She's in!
