Wah! Steve Miller didn't know who WE are - The Black Keys
Last week, the Black Keys gave a speech inducting Steve Miller into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Miller then gave an acceptance speech that was, in part, critical of the Rock Hall, encouraging the institution to be "more inclusive of women" and "to respect the artists they say they’re honoring, which they don't." After the ceremony, he also called the Rock Hall "a bunch of jackasses and jerks and fucking gangsters and crooks." Now, the Black Keys have spoken up about Miller's criticisms, telling Rolling Stone they regret inducting him. "He said, 'The whole process was unpleasant,'" Dan Auerbach told Rolling Stone. "And for Pat and I, the most unpleasant part was being around him."
Auerbach said:
We got a really uncomfortable feeling when we first met Steve. He had no idea who we were. No idea. The first thing he told us was, "I can't wait to get out of here." He knew that we signed up to do this speech for him. And he made no effort to even [laughs uncomfortably] — he didn't even figure out who we were. I don't live in New York City. This is like three days out of my life flying from Nashville and leaving my kids at home.

BIM- So let me wrap my head around this, They are insulted that Steve Miller doesn't know THEM?
That he didn't google THEM? WAH! We flew here! WAH! Steve Miller doesn't know us!
Get over yourselves!
Everything Steve Miller said was TRUE and he's a legend so shut your mouth! Cry babies! Change your diapers!
One day (with lots of luck and if anyone still knows you), this may be how YOU are treated and it's not respectful, or nice. It might even be worse with the attitudes of our younger generations.
I think the video we posted from the press room shows the truth and how the Rock Hall treats musical legends.
