On This Day In History
1987: The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inducts its first woman

Quote Of The Day
"We all require and want respect, man or woman, black or white. It's our basic human right."
(Aretha Franklin)

While it is quite shameful that it was not until 1987 that the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inducted its first female artist, four years after opening, today a whopping 79 out of the total 949 artists inducted are women. That means a staggering 8.4% of the artists who have been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame are women. Of course, some women will grumble and say that is not enough, and that since they comprise 50% of the population then they ought to encompass 50% of the inducted artists. Ridiculous! They ought to be grateful that so many popular songs these days are about bitches and hoes; surely that is representation enough for anyone.
