Did he really? That's great. He deserves it.
My favorite band rejected being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
My favorite band is Iron Maiden.

They rejected it? Why? I bet it was Bruce again. That whole Sharon Osbourne incident damaged relations.
No it was Steve Harris, the bandleader.
The reasoning was that by getting inducted, they will only be remembered for being hall of famers, and not relevant, working musicians.

It's come off as a bit contrived. They should have accepted it with dignity and moved on. They are a legendary band that should be on the hall of fame.
I should have known.. the night was going so well.. my parents and I were having a good time. And then it happened, my Mother decided in her misunderstanding of what is happening in our situation to lose it and she basically told me I am no longer the help and friend I have been. It is so hard.. I should just say its her brain, but when she pulls the strings of emotional memory and then gives me ultimatums, and then has the gaul to say I am bad for feeling upset.. I really am starting to feel resentment and if I am honest.. hatred of her. I have sacrificed so much to be her support, and all she does is demand more.. and then says I am not a Good Son, if I stand my ground and say "We cannot do that, we have to do what is best.."
I am so tired of being caste as villain, when all I have been is an advocate. Yes, I am not perfect and could handle things better. But there is no budging on the other side.. I have to make the concessions, and now I feel I am about to break.
My Father before she went on this ultimantium thing has given me a list of things I have to change about living with him.. and I can accommodate a lot of it, but then my Mother overreacts and piles on me while I am trying to make those changes. Honestly.. I feel like I could scream into my pillow all night...

See, I actually agree with them on this one, speaking as a musician myself.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn't all that great, because the induction process is decided by a small number of people who themselves aren't musicians, and their choices for potential inductees reflects their personal tastes rather than public opinion as a whole.
For example, how many times has Sister Rosetta Tharpe been snubbed of being inducted despite her nickname being The Godmother of Rock? Until her induction in 2017, that is?
How artists are chosen is done secretly, there's no transparency on how artists are chosen to be inducted, so a lot of backstage lobbying goes on, which is why the list of inductees is a mystery to both listeners and the musicians themselves.
My biggest gripe about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is that there's a genre bias going on here, in that it largely snubs progressive rock, indie rock, punk rock, metal in general, and there's a bit of a racial and gender bias, considering that the Hall has completely overlooked many Hispanic and Latin American rock artists like the Los Lonely Boys, and a big name that's not included, Carlos Santana.
Out of the 295 inductees, 259 of them are male. The women of rock are barely represented, and 2017 is a bit too late to recognize the Godmother of Rock, in my opinion.
Even Judas Priest agrees with Maiden on this one, Judas Priest bassist said during Priest's induction ceremony, "I don't think they like heavy metal music in general."
I agree Iron Maiden are legendary, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, much like American Idol, the Voice, the Grammies, and other such shows are not the peak of musical achievement, speaking from the musicians' perspective. They are just popularity contests, and that's all they ever will be.
Several artists, even inductees, have made these criticisms known during their induction ceremonies, and it's pretty much an open secret that the Hall treats their inductees like garbage too.
Look, there's always been a culture to undermine artists, while people value the art the artist makes. It happens on every level imaginable from local music acts all the way up to the biggest names in music you can think of.
So I actually respect that even inductees are calling BS during their induction ceremonies, and yes, that Iron Maiden refused, despite being eligible.

Finally made a stand with my mother.. she everyday this week has been threatening to "leave," and go to Florida, and then she cries and says she does not want to leave me. So I told her to make up her mind, I am not doing this emotional rollercoaster everyday. That seemed to settle things for now.
Sometimes you wish it to be already evening before your day even start. Geesh, why are they so slow at work?!

I want to make it very clear to you that what she is doing is not ok and that you have every right to stand up for yourself. If you feel an ounce of guilt over it, you need to screw off with that. Everybody sets boundaries with their parents, it is normal, it is not wrong to do.
My parents are tag teaming me now with stress.. my mom keeps having melt downs and needs, and my Dad now at night drunk goes on and on about how I am a stressor living with him.. even though I clean, cook, took him to colon surgery and visited, and paying for groceries and etc.
I never thought I would grow to immensely dislike my parents. I need to get free. Problem is I have been full time cargiver to my mom and I need to get funds independent of hers.
I can feel its over.. if I can get out of this, I never want to see either of them again.

we be here for you if you need it....
My freakiing father.. now he decides he is going to contest everything I say, and I must submit to his point of view. He is athole! He wants total control of people around him. No wonder my siblings moved far away from him. All they care about is the inheritance he will leave.
Next month I am moving out. Its not worth some of pleasentries to have no voice.. I would rather live in gutter than be with athole!
