This is SO sad considering DC5 was to be inducted into the R&RHoF in less than 2 weeks. :-( Even though the HoF is a joke, the band should have been inducted last year even by their corrupted political standards, but the infamous Jann Wenner made sure even those standards can be manipulated by himself. R.I.P. Mike.
