After Steve Miller's rant at his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, the Black Keys regret having been there to introduce him. What matters to me...

...is that Steve Miller's rant against the industry and the HOF itself is personified by Miller's own behavior towards the Black Keys, these fanboys who were really excited to meet him, and he treated like shit.

      - I've read about things like that before, but to get to the level of ranting during an acceptance speech is out there. -- nm - b. Apr 13, 15:17
    - That coupled with him having to sign away rights to his performance could explain a "fuck you" attitude for the whole event. - TWuG Apr 13, 15:09 5
