His son says it's political and Johnny says it doesn't bother him and he's proud to be in Louisiana Music HOF

He didn't experiment with dope way back and maybe that made him an outsider. But maybe that's why he's healthy and still going in late 70's and most of them are burned out or dead too?

House of Rising Sun, Memphis, Secret Agent Man, Poor Side of Town and on and on! Maybe they'll accept him after death?

Idk

---

He didn't write House of The Rising Sun, that's a traditional folk tune.

But yea.

---

Johnny didn't write it, but did a good cover. Rivers never really anything but his career has been made of outstanding renditions of other people's song. He also basically discovered and produced the early Fifth Dimension hits.

Bob Dylan said that Johnny Rivers version of "Positively 4th Street" was the best he ever heard.

---

I like Johnny as much as the next guy, but guys who don't write their own hits are kinda half-qualified to be in the hall IMO.

Elvis gets a pass only because he's Elvis and nobody else could have sang those songs.

---

Eagles wrote the majority of their songs with additions by Jack Tempchin, John David Souther and Tom Waits. To be be fair and technical, many of the early Beatles early records were covers of other people's work.

---

And conversely, Nickleback writes their own stuff.

You can still suck and write songs.

Having said that, Don Henley has more talent in one drop of piss than Chad Kroeger does in his entire bloodline.

Love Jackson Browne and so many of his songs! Some tremendous lyrics! This is the one that captured me. So many years ago... the opening still gets me going to this very day!
