What frightens me if David is correct and that Sykes said teenagers said it’s not danceable. Teenagers? Dancehall? Are you kidding?!

This is emblematic of why I miss Dave nightly. Dave loves music and KNOWS music. When he loved a band or a performer he had on the show, he SHOWED it. He wasn't a cheerleader for any band who appeared, he didn't calmly say "The National, everybody." Example: When The New Pornographers performed, he walked over under the cheers and said "How are you, Neko?" He KNEW. So for him to know immediately The National's new album and its lead singer by name, it's the personal connection that I don't think anyone on late night has, or has had... I just love this.

I am so deeply grateful to David Letterman for introducing me to the wonderful music of Warren Zevon.

Zevon was a tremendous songwriter. May he rest in peace.

I saw Warren in concert here in Chicago many years ago and it was the most fun and best concert I've ever attended. And I've seen The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Springsteen, CSN&Y, Chicago and the Beach Boys.

Wow, it’s been that long?

90% of my favorite bands I discovered from watching The Late Show. It's contribution to the music industry in showcasing indy and non-mainstream bands is often overlooked.

This just reinforces my thought that Todd Rundgren treated his nomination with the respect it deserved. In any true R&R Hall of Fame that actually used talent and importance to the genre as criteria for induction, Zevon would have been inducted the 1st year of eligibility.

Always great to hear from Dave. And I will be forever indebted to him for exposing me to the music of Warren Zevon. Warren was a genius, plain and simple!

I love that Dave is still current in his music!! Knowing The National that well, keeping his brain working and absorbing!!

Warren had my vote!

"We lost our writers." "Oh! Because of the strike?" "No, they just left."

Literally the only time I ever hear about the R&R Hall of Fame is when people are complaining about hugely deserving, obvious, glaring omissions. It happens every year, and will continue to do so until the heat death of the universe.

I gave up on he Rock n Roll Hall of Fame a long time ago. Letterman is right that Zevon will never be in the Hall and not sure he would even want to. He will be remembered by those who mattered; the people who bought his music and went to see him perform. I count myself as one of those lucky people.

Warren deserves to be there...there's no question in my mind...he definitely deserves to be in the HOF

Dave, talk to Paul. When he lead the house band for the show it was always the best. He’d get these huge rock stars to jam with each other. ⭐️

I miss Dave for selfish reasons. His humor brought me comfort for so many years and now while the world is falling apart we have no one that fills that spot. We are on our own and I miss the laughter. People said no one could take Carson’s place but Dave did but no one has come close to Dave.

No idea why Warren Zevon didn't make it in. One of the best lyricists of our time.

It's funny how this channel, and especially THESE segments, and the Staff Favorite Moments, are such a joy and I can't wait to watch them - yet there is absolutely nothing on the 3 (or 4) big networks that is of any interest to me.

Slade: an influence on bands from The Ramones to Nirvana, charting 17 Top 20 hits in a 6-year span in the UK, 6 of those songs reaching #1. But they weren't popular in America, so they won't be in the Hall of Fame. The Tragically Hip had 9 #1 albums in Canada and are absolute legends north of the border. But they weren't popular in America, so they won't be in the Hall of Fame. The Rock and Roll HOF jumped the shark many years ago, but I'd have a little more respect for it if it just called itself what it is: The Rock and Non-Rock Artists Who Had A Following in America Hall of Fame.

Sworn to secrecy, Dave tells all two days later.

David, yes overdue on Warren Zevon and it does make the so called honor greatly reduced. If not hollow. There are many in the same circumstance of having been disrespected for so long. My personal disbelief and now resignation that he will never be acknowledged is Peter Frampton. I actually would have assumed Warren was in. It just goes to document how dishonorable the process and the responsible parties have become. I hope Frampton sees being ignored as a badge of honor considering how Warren as so many others are treated with the same shameful disregard. ☮️

To be outraged by any RRHF “snub” is to implicitly impart credibility to the RRHF. There is none. So no “outrage.” If anything, one’s credibility is enhanced by not being in the RRHF.
