Women in Rock: The Fight Against Sexism in the Hall of Fame
TL;DR Summary
Chrissie Hynde, frontwoman of The Pretenders and a 2005 inductee of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, criticized the institution in a Facebook post, calling it "total bollocks" and "more establishment backslapping." She also stated that the Hall has "absolutely nothing to do with rock ‘n’ roll." Hynde's comments follow those of Courtney Love, who recently criticized the Hall for its lack of diversity and inclusion of women and artists of color.
