I demand you elaborate, good sir.
The Ed from the Grammy acceptance speech has somehow transformed into the guy at the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. For further reading, see the topic in this forum entitled "What Happened?".
yeah, but wouldn't it be kinda sad if he was the exact same person after 25 years?

Everyone changes. But Ed's changed into someone who appreciates awards, somehow, which I find unacceptable.

So you're angry because his priorities changed? Funny thing is, they were always (especially Ed) all about being true to themselves, yet you're angry because they're doing just that?
You might think that his current music isn't personal to him, or that he's just phoning it in; but just because you personally can't relate to him doesn't mean somebody else can. He's not the angry kid he was back then. He was very idealistic (as I imagine you were) back then. Ideals change. Priorities change. People get older. People get wiser. What was important to him back then, isn't now, and vice versa.
So, yeah, 25 years happened. Don't blame a person for growing up. Ed can't be angry forever. Sorry you fell out of love.
Also, Ed has done stuff with the RRHOF since the early 90's. He clearly respects the institution and the bands inducted. Seems like a strange take to suddenly be turned off by that.

I can't imagine paying to meet someone famous and walking into the room with the unspoken knowledge between the two of you that you paid $31k+ to meet them. It just seems like the most awkward set up ever.
