Dr. John to the Hall of Fame?

Late last week, HitsDailyDouble.com reported that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will announce tomorrow that Dr. John is among its newest inductees. Neil Diamond and Alice Cooper are supposedly heading the Class of 2011, and they’ll be joined by Dr. John, Tom Waits (Our dream of seeing those two give speeches on the same night may come true!) and Darlene Love.

If that’s the case, that would leave out other nominees Laura Nyro, Bon Jovi, Beastie Boys, Donovan, Chic, LL Cool J, Laura Nyro, Donna Summer, Joe Tex and Chuck Willis and would maintain the residual “disco sucks” bias that still seems to underly Hall of Fame selections.
