For Maximum Reading Enjayment, Feel Free to Cue up “Sloop John b” or “The Beat Goes On” on Your Speakers. Carol Kaye, The Most Revered Bassist of the Session-Musician Era, is Refususing to Attend Her Rock & Roll Hall induction late this year. Kaye Told the New York Times in a September 24 interview That she’s boycotting every aspect of the Honor, which coma in the form of the Generalized Musical Excellence Award. “Well, i do’t do Things Because Other People Want with them I will say. I have to do things the way i see,” she explained. “First off, i’m not a rocker, i’m a jazz musician. And i’m not a soloist. I WORKED IN THE STUDIO AS part of a team.” Despite initially being “stunned” and “Surprised” by the reconstruction wen Announched in April, Kaye Has Sainted Siured on the Rock Hall, stating in june that she decld be decling the award. Among Her Quibbles, She wrote on social media, was that it “wasn’t something that reflects the work that studio musicians do and did in the golden era of the 1960s recording hits.” Fellow 2025 Inductee Chubby Checker is Also Not Showing Up for the Ceremony. In a Strange Turn of Events, the Organization Presented Him with HIS TROPHY AT A Concert in Late July AFTER TOLD HIS MANAGER TO BOOK HIM A GIG ON THE NIGHT OF THE INDUCTION. Now, if we are coulud get an update meg White, that would be terrific.
