Default Re: 2012 Songwriters Hall of Fame nominees - LIGHTFOOT!!

interesting predictions, john

for a songwriters hall of fame i don't know why they even bother distinguishing before performer and non-performer categories

seems like a grey area also for some (eg. Steinman performed but as a sideman, but of course he didn't sing the vocals for the lyrics he wrote)

David Foster writes but also 'performs'...Carole King used to be non-performer

the Canuck version of the hall, inducts Songs also or instead of....so you could have a Song in there but not the writer


kind of like the Hockey Hall of Fame where Paul Henderson's 1972 goal against USSR in inducted but not he himself

and maybe Pete Rose's 4192 should be inducted to Cooperstown, and continue to keep him out... am i off topic yet? lol
