June Millington on stage playing guitar
4/14/1948 — b. June Millington, Philippine-American musician, songwriter, producer, educator. Co-founder, lead guitarist of the all-female rock band Fanny (1970s). Founder, Fabulous Records; co-founder, director, of the Inst for the Musical Arts #womenshistory #WomenInMusic #MusicSky #MusicChallenge
Also, as part of the criteria, artists/bands are supposed to have been influential to other RnR acts that followed them. And, maybe it's time for other #music genres to build their own goddamn #museums and stop diluting the #RockHall ledger. Many have lost respect bcz they've snubbed so many rockers
I agree, even had a discussion with former #RockHall CEO abt this issue. It should not be abt placating everyone + what they think/like. Legitimate Rock n Roll artists from the 50s, 60s + 70s are not recognized and should be in before they die. Instead we have younger acts and acts that aren't RnR

My photo shows a profile view of a small horse figurine with head to the left, displayed against a dark background. Sculpted from mammoth ivory, the surface is a mottled greyish-earthy-brown colour with a shiny patina. It was once likely pale white in colour. It measures 2.5 cm height, 4.8 cm width, and 0.7 cm depth. The head is gracefully lowered with a long and elegant curving neck, and a convex curved back. The four legs are incomplete. The top of the tail remains. The eyes, nostrils, and mouth are carved as indents. The ‘Vogelherd Horse’ was excavated in 1931, together with a number of other ivory animal figurines from the Vogelherd Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany. It is the oldest known sculpture of a horse. On display at the Museum of Ancient Cultures, at Hohentübingen Castle, Tübingen, Germany.
Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend!
