'cause he's rich and powerful and deemed by many an arbitor of popular (read youth read money) musical taste and trends. For almost 40 years now (ha!).He rubs shoulders with ALL the right people and has for a long, long time. I imagine he's a bully too, and the rest of the board just aren't "rock n' roll" enough to stand up to him. Wenner was never really a "journalist' per se, and is a fairly piss poor writer. His strengths are as an editor and publisher that was in the exact right place at the exact right time and had a successful vision. He knows how to get what he wants done by others...done. You figure someone that's been so successful at that since his early 20's has it down to an art.
You're more than right to call the whole thing a joke. Then again, considering the amount of money, "prestige", influence and power involved with the whole RRHOF thing, it's no wonder its taken the sad path it has. The combination of those elements always seem to corrupt, so why should the RRHOF be any different?.
I've always felt it's akin to a miracle that so much great music has managed to reach us through the conniving cluthes of THE MUSIC BIZ!
