Being the only non-singer in the class, it’s hard to express how honored I feel, but I’ll tell you what I told the audience last night.

I’ve always felt that everyone who couldn’t sing wanted to sing, and that musicians were always the coolest people in the room. I never felt I was cool enough to be in their group, but last night they gave me some cool and let me in. With a standing ovation no less.

Being in the Radio or TV Hall of Fame is an incredible honor, but to be inducted into a music Hall of Fame, takes it to another level for me. Because that says that even though you weren’t a part of our business, you impacted it significantly. Now that’s COOL!

Jerome, get me some sunglasses and a mirror.
