Love said the Guardian 'censored' a particularly bold line in her piece—which still told the institution to 'go to hell in a handbag' over its gender disparity.
This year’s nominees are cause of cautious optimism—as Love points out, “more women were nominated in one year than at any time in its 40-year history.” These include Kate Bush, Cyndi Lauper, and Missy Elliott, whom Love deems “iconoclasts.” They also include Meg White of the White Stripes and, Gillian Gilbert of New Order, and Sheryl Crow, “a woman who subverted the boys club.”
Love makes a passionate case for inducting Bush and Chaka Khan , who is not nominated this year but has been in the past. She bemoans that “Beastie Boys were inducted in 2012 ahead of most of the Black hip-hop artists they learned to rhyme from,” and notes that a Tribe Called Quest, nominated in 2022 and once again this year,” face “a roll of the dice against the white rockers they are forced to compete with on the ballots.
Her end is even more exacting: “If the Rock Hall is not willing to look at the ways it is replicating the violence of structural racism and sexism that artists face in the music industry, if it cannot properly honor what visionary women artists have created, innovated, revolutionized and contributed to popular music – well, then let it go to hell in a handbag.”
