Why is it so hard to find a speaker for Quincy Jones? Usher is performing for Quincy Jones. Lionel Richie should give the speech. I think something big is being planned.

I have a feeling Jann Wenner is going to give the induction speech for Quincy Jones.

It would make lots of sense if Jann Wenner gave the induction speech for Quincy Jones

Three days until the ceremony and still no word on who is presenting Quincy Jones. It's starting to look more and more like Jann Wenner.

Still no word on who is inducting Quincy Jones. If Usher is performing, then it could be him, but the Rock Hall and Rolling Stone have not made it clear. That could only mean it's going to be Jann Wenner himself who presents Quincy Jones, or surprise, it's Janet Jackson or Lionel Richie.

Usher and Will Lee of David Letterman band to induct Quincy Jones?

I guess we are really going to have to wait for the ceremony to see who inducts Quincy Jones.

Quincy Jones Call Beatles “Worst Musicians in the World”

Quincy Jones is not a fan of the Beatles.

Speaking to Vulture he said, "they were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing mother$&@@$.. Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don’t even talk about”

Jones arranged "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" from Ringo’s 1970 solo album Sentimental Journey. Jones says, “I remember once we were in the studio with George Martin, and Ringo had taken three hours for a four-bar thing he was trying to fix on a song. He couldn’t get it. We said, 'Mate, why don’t you get some lager and lime, some shepherd’s pie and take an hour and a half and relax a little bit?' So he did, and we called Ronnie Verrell, a jazz drummer. Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says, 'George, can you play it back for me one more time?' So George did, and Ringo says, 'That didn’t sound so bad.' And I said, 'Yeah, mother$$@&$ because it ain’t you.'

When Lennon was asked if he thought Ringo was the best drummer in the world, John replied, "Best drummer in the world? He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles."

What makes him feel like saying Stuff Like That?

John Lennon never made the "Ringo is not the best Drummer in the group" comment.
This a well disputed myth.
