Steve Miller Wants The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame To Be Investigated

It's only been two months and Steve Miller is still raw over the way he was treated when being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In a recent interview, Miller intends on having the organization investigated to ensure that all of its finances and charitable donations are legitimate. "I've already got all their public documents, and I want to see where they're spending the money," Miller said. "I want to see who's being paid. I want to check it all out."

To say that Steve Miller felt more insulted than honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be a bit of an understatement, as Miller described the whole process as "three months of insults and bulls**t." He described the whole process of him getting inducted as tedious and exhausting. "It was like, 'Shut the f**k up. If you don't do what we tell you to do, we're gonna cut you from the show.' Really? Cut us from the show.' So, then they'd say, 'Ok, we're not gonna cut you from the show and you can have five tickets for the band.' 'F**k you. We want tickets for the band, the wives and stuff. It just went on."



He goes on explaining his side of the story that left his presenters The Black Keys in total disappointment. "I was never introduced to the Black Keys," said Miller. "I walked in through security and there was this guy looking at me (Patrick Carney), like, making goo-goo eyes at me or something, and I walk up to him and I go 'What are you doing? What are you doing tonight?' and he says, 'Oh, I'm reading your speech.' And then I say 'Oh great, well I can't wait to get the f**k outta here!'... I didn't know who he was!" Carney went on to say that it was because of Miller's attitude that night that upset him for the entire ceremony. "If we had been introduced, I'm sure we would've gotten along because we like the same kind of music," said Miller. 

In his induction speech, Steve Miller ripped into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, saying that it needed to be "more inclusive to women and to be more transparent in your dealings with the public, and more importantly, to do much more to revive music in our schools." 



Miller is still fully intent on holding the Hall of Fame's organizers responsible for how he and his fellow musicians were treated. "They're gonna be sorry that they treated all these people this way... And the funding they raise is actually gonna be used for music education before I'm done."
