Yesterday, Dolly Parton shared a statement announcing she bows out of the nomination to be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. She says she doesn't feel that she has earned that right yet, but wishes to be considered in the future after she releases an actual rock 'n' roll album at some point.
The nominees for this year are: Beck, Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, Devo, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, Fela Kuti, MC5, New York Dolls, Lionel Richie, Rage Against the Machine, Carly Simon, A Tribe Called Quest and Dionne Warwick.
