""Well, I don't do things because other people want me to do them. I have to do things the way I see fit," she explained."
""First off, I'm not a rocker, I'm a jazz musician. And I'm not a soloist. I worked in the studio as part of a team.""
""wasn't something that reflects the work that studio musicians do and did in the golden era of the 1960s recording hits.""
Carol Kaye, a renowned session bassist, is boycotting her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction and will not attend the ceremony. The honor is given as a Musical Excellence Award that she says does not reflect the work of studio musicians from the 1960s recording era. Kaye emphasizes that she is a jazz musician and not a rocker or a soloist, and that she worked in studios as part of a team. She initially felt stunned and surprised by the recognition but later declined the award and refuses participation. Chubby Checker is also not attending; organizers presented his trophy at a concert after he booked a gig the night of the induction. Questions remain about Meg White's attendance status.
