Saw Fishbone at Voodoo Fest in NOLA. What a show! Wish they'd played for 3 hours. Great music from a tight, rocking band.

Highest recommendation on seeing them live.

It is shameful that this band has not been inducted yet.

Electing Fishbone to the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame will legitimize the enterprise. Until then, we wait.

It's interesting that 3 of the "indicators" are connected (by name) to Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner that was on the board and highly influential @ The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until his "departure " in 2023 after making disparaging remarks about BLACK artists!….. hmmm. In the MIDWEST, where funk and soul has deep roots and still THRIVES?! May none of the great Hall's founders or ancestors rest until Fishbone has its proper place there.
