🤘 Fans of Paul Rodgers have wondered, long and often loudly, why he hasn’t been enshrined in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, either as a founding member of Free or Bad Company. 

🎸 But the British-born singer-songwriter isn’t bothered by the omission. He recalls a conversation he had in the 1980s with rock hall co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, co-founder and president of Atlantic Records, in which he asked whether Bad Company wanted to be part of something new, a sort of rock ’n’ roll museum. 

 🎤 “I said, ‘Well, you know, I don’t think rock ’n’ roll belongs in a museum, Ahmet. So no,’” Rodgers says as he chats on the phone from his home overlooking Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada.
