I-Streamers igcwalisa isibhakabhaka ngaphezulu kweLiwa kunye neHolo yoLwazi loLwazi kunye neMyuziyam nge-01 Septemba emva komsitho wokuvula. (Ifoto: KIMBERLY BARTH / AFP / Getty Izithombe)IKIMBERLY BARTH / AFP / imifanekiso kaGetty) Kubekho ukucocwa kweLitye kunye neRoll Hall yodumo kule veki. Ngoku ka Ibhilibhodi kwiphephancwadi Iikomiti ezili-16 kwezingama-42 zokuchongwa ziye zanikwa amaphepha azo okuhamba… [kubandakanya] ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sekomitana yeHall's Early Rock kunye neR & B Influencers. Inqaku lichaza kuphela amalungu amane ali-16 alahliweyo, kwaye esazi onke amane (iblues kunye ne-R & B ingcali uJoe McEwen, ileyibheli ephethe uGregg Geller, ileyibhile yerekhodi enkulu yesandla esidala u-Arthur Levy kunye nomsasazi odumileyo uBob Merlis) icacile kum ukuba Silahla ngabom abo banolwazi malunga nerock yokuqala kunye nokuqengqeleka. Njengokuba eli ziko-lisungulwe kwaye lakhokelwa kwaye lalawula ngenqindi yentsimbi ngu Amatye agiqekayo umphathi uJann Wenner-wayengenguye ihlaya elikhulu ngokwaneleyo.
Ndisebenze kwikomiti yolonyulo iminyaka emibini, 1992-93, emva koko ndatshitshiswa emva kokuba ndibhale inqaku Ibhilibhodi yintoni le sham iyonke inkqubo. Kubonakala ngathi akukho nto itshintshileyo.
Namhlanje, umboniso wamabhaso wonyaka, osele ungowona mveliso uphambili ngoku ekubeni i-HBO ivelise into ebukelweyo yomsitho wonyaka ngamnye, iye yangamandla okuqhubela phambili ekukhetheni ukuba ngubani ofumana ukungena.
Akunjalo ukuba ndandimangalisiwe ukufumanisa ukuba iHolo ibonakala ibeka amandla enkwenkwezi phambi kwefuthe langempela kunye nokufaneleka. Ibihleli imalunga neshishini. Xa ndandisekomitini, i-Sire Records honcho uSeymour Stein wayezama ukufumana iqela lama-50s lamagama ama-Moonglows abatyunjiweyo kwaye enye i-holo ye-Hall yathi, Abayi kuthengisa itikiti elinye kwisidlo sangokuhlwa. Ngethamsanqa-kwaye kufanelekile-iiMonglows zangena.
Namhlanje, umboniso wamabhaso wonyaka, osele ungowona mveliso uphambili ngoku ekubeni i-HBO ivelise into ebukelweyo yomsitho wonyaka ngamnye, iye yangamandla okuqhubela phambili ekukhetheni ukuba ngubani ofumana ukungena. Oko kungachaza ukuba kutheni uMnumzana Wenner noJon Landau, umphathi weBruce Springsteen kunye nefuthe lesibini elinamandla kwiHolo, bedlula kwizenzo ezinempembelelo ukusukela nge1960s kunye nee1970s ukuthanda amagcisa asandula ukuthengisa amatikiti athile kunye nokutsala ababukeli abathile.
Abalandeli beRock baqaphele. Omnye umhlobo wam wakrokrela ukuba wayothukile kukuba Maninzi kakhulu amaqela amahle avela kwi-70s awanyanzelwanga okwangoku, njenge-Hot Tuna kunye neJefferson Starship. Ewe, uya kuthi abone uMariah Carey noJay Z phaya ngaphambi kwayo nayiphi na loo midlalo yee-1970s. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, iHolo ibonakala ngathi sele idlulile kwii-1960s ezinkulu / i-70s zamagcisa, phakathi kwabo i-Deep Purple, i-Gram Parsons, i-Jethro Tull, ii-Turtles, i-Orchestra yoMbane, i-Link Wray, i-Steve Miller Band, i-Paul Revere kunye ne-Raiders , i-MC5, T. Rex, Chubby Checker, eChicago, oonodoli baseNew York, iimonke, iWarren Zevon, iTower of Power, Ewe nezinye ezininzi. Abalandeli bathatha kuFacebook kwaye baqulunqe amaxwebhu ezikhalazo bezama ukucenga ikomiti etyunjiweyo ukuba yamkele into oyithandayo engakhathalelwanga okanye enye, ihlala ingekho nganto. Ngoku, ngokuthena kwikomiti, kukubheja okulungeleyo ukuba uninzi lwezo zintandokazi luya kuphetshwa ngonaphakade.
Ukuqiniseka, ukuxoxa ukuba ngubani ekufuneka engafanelekanga nakweyiphi na iHolo yoDumo kuyinxalenye yayo injongo ekuqaleni. Njengokuba uRon Santo kunye noRichie Ashburn bebeyimixholo yeminyaka yokuphikisana ngamagumbi e-barroom ngabalandeli bebhola, bexoxa ngokufaneleka kweHolo kwezona zinto zithengiswa kakhulu kodwa kugxothwa ngokugxekayo njengezenzo zikaDoobie Brothers kunye neMoody Blues yindawo yendalo kwaye isempilweni. inkqubo.
Omnye umhlobo wam ucebise ukuba iHolo ifuna ukuqaphela abanye abenzi bezinto ezintsha ngaphandle kokuthengisa kunye nokuthandwa… iRoxy Music kunye neKraftwerk kufuneka babekhona. Omnye wenza ityala elikhulu kumculi wokuqala weR & B ukufumana icwecwe leplatinam, imvumi uTeddy Pendergrass. Umntu othile wacebisa ukuba kukho umsantsa ngokubhekisele kubaculi base-Afrika nabamaMelika abangayifanelanga itemplate yomphefumlo kaJann Wenner. Ndiyazi ukuba uBob Marley, uSly, uJimi noCurtis bakhona. Kodwa uArthur Lee noLuthando, uNile Rodgers kunye noChic, ngakumbi iBand of Gypsys kufuneka babekhona. Ndingenza ityala elifanelekileyo ngoGrace Jones, uLabelle noJoan Armatrading, nabo.
Olo hlobo lokuqhula ngezinto ozithandayo ziyinxalenye yolonwabo. Kodwa enye ingxaki kwiLiwa kunye neHolo yoLwazi loDumo kukuba akukho ndlela ihambelanayo, ngaphandle komgaqo wokuba umculi kufuneka abhale okokuqala kwiminyaka engama-25 eyadlulayo ngaphambi kokuba afaneleke. Xa ndandikwikomiti, bobabini abaBulekileyo baFile kunye neJefferson Airplane babeqwalaselwa. Bandicela ukuba ndibuze abameli bamaqela omabini ukuba ngawaphi amalungu afuna ukungeniswa xa bengena. Umphathi wenqwelomoya wathi nje ngamalungu angundoqo amathandathu ukusuka kunyaka ka-1966-70. Abafileyo bathi induct wonke umntu owakhe waba kwiqela okanye akukho namnye kwaphela kwaye yile nto bayifumeneyo, kwanombhali wengoma uRobert Hunter. Abanye amagcisa baye bangeniswa ngaphandle kwamaqela abo (njengoBruce Springsteen) ngelixa abanye befumana ibhendi epheleleyo. Benza njengoko behamba. U-Miley Cyrus uzimase i-30th yoNyaka yoLwakhiwo kunye neHolo yoDumo yoKwenziwa kweNdibano kwiHolo yoLuntu ngo-Epreli 18, 2015 eCleveland, eOhio. (Ifoto: Michael Loccisano / Getty Izithombe)
Kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, ndibhale inqaku Ibhilibhodi malunga nento engamanyala yonke le nkqubo. Elo bali lindenze ndazala esidlangalaleni ngumvelisi odumileyo (kwaye ngoku unetyala lokubulala) uPhil Spector kwintlanganiso yam yesibini yokutyumba ikomiti. Udlulise iifotokopi wathi, Wenza ntoni lo mfo apha? Usibiza sonke njengeempundu! Ndathi, Hayi, Phil, ndinibiza nonke bahanahanisi. Emva koko weza wazokundibamba wathi, Uyazi ukuba ndiyadlala, akunjalo? Andizange ndiqiniseke ukuba wayenjalo kodwa andizange ndikhathazeke-ndakhatywa kwikomiti emva koko.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, ndenze udliwanondlebe no-Graham Nash (owenzelwe iiHollies kunye neCrosby, iStills kunye neNash) ndambuza, Ngaba iDwala kunye neRoll Hall of Fame zithetha nto kuwe? Uphendule wathi, inyani ithetha into. Ndiyathetha, jonga abantu ababephambi kwam. Ngaba uyahlekisa? Aba bantu bacinga ukuba kufuneka ndibekhona kabini?! Kuyaphambana oku kum. Ababhali beNgoma yoDumo, silapho kabini, nathi. UGeorge Gershwin, uCole Porter? Bacinga ukuba ndingomnye wabo? Baphelelwe ziingqondo zabo ezi-fucking! Ndiyabulela, ndinombulelo, kodwa ayisosizathu sokuba ndingene kweli shishini.
Xa intliziyo yamva nje uDavy Jones wabuzwa malunga nokusilela kweeMonkees ukufumana ukungena, waphendula wathi ukuba iHolo ibinokubaluleka ngekhe bayakha eOhio. Lowo ngumgca olungileyo, kodwa eyona Rock kunye neRoll Hall of Fame eCleveland kunye nekomiti yokutyumba esekwe kwi-NYC ethatha isigqibo sokuba ngubani oza kunyanzeliswa zizinto ezimbini ezahlukileyo. Uhambo oluya eCleveland luseluxabise kakhulu olo hambo, nokuba kukho ukungaphumeleli okukhohlakeleyo kunye nenkqubo yeziphene ezinokubakho.
Okwangoku, ukudunyiswa ngokusesikweni akunjalo kwaye akufuneki kube sisishukumisi sayo nayiphi na ibhendi yerock and roll. Umbuzo wam wokulandela uGraham Nash uhambe ngolu hlobo:
Me: Kengoku kutheni ungene kule business?
UGraham Nash: Ukudakumba.
UJeff Tamarkin wayengumhleli wokuqala we-CMJ kwaye kamva wakhonza njengomhleli kaRelix noGoldmine. Ngumbhali we Unayo inguquko!: I-Flight Flight yeJefferson Airplane kunye nombhali kunye noHoward Kaylan UShell wothukile: Ubomi bam ngeeFudu, uFlo noEddie, kunye UFrank Zappa, njl.
