Sigh... another day goes by with Gram Parsons not in the Hall of Fame

I've been listening to "THE GILDED PALACE OF SIN" by THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS, which once again reminds me of that great, enduring injustice in country music.
GRAM PARSONS is still not in the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME.
Parsons nearly single-handedly invented what is known as "country rock" and his legacy extends to many of these current guitar-slinging country superstars. Yet, there is no official recognition for the man who opened the musical door for so many of these current stars.
Parsons protege EMMYLOU HARRIS was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008, and she spoke of her indebtedness to the man who died at the age of 26. If you think Parson's early, drug-influenced demise is costing him his place, then consider Hank Williams, whose death at 29 remains clouded by controversy.
Is his long hair and hippy ways keeping Parsons out of the Hall of Fame? That would be a true shame.
Close your eyes and just listen to the music. With the Byrds, the Burritos, or as a solo artist, Parsons made country music that stands the test of time -- like the country music masters of the past who have secured a place in the hall.
