Kimmer, you are RIGHT ON! (as we used to say in the days when the MC5 were DETROIT!) We need to inundate he R&R Hall of Fame. Even though we all know that the RRHOF is some what of a joke with the choices they have made and continue to make, they are still the only game in town.
BTW: just found your Blog and Love it. If you have not seen it people check out Kimmer's blog at:
