‘Wrecking Crew’ Director Responds to Carol Kaye’s Complaints: ‘I Have Absolutely Nothing to Do With the RRHOF’

The director of the 'Wrecking Crew' documentary, Danny Tedasco, responded to Carol Kaye's criticisms about her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame award.

Last week, Carol Kaye, the revered and ground-breaking bassist heard on scores of pop hits since the Sixties, posted a since-deleted comment about her upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “I used to joke that it was like having divorced parents that you cared for but made sure to never mention them to each other,” Tedesco wrote in his post, adding, “I kept Hal and Carol separated as long as possible until their relationship blew up at a screening at the AFM Union Hall. since 1930s, I was never a ‘wrecker’ at all….that’s a terrible insulting name.” In his retort, Tedesco also noted that, in April 2008, Kaye wrote to him saying, “Denny, don’t worry I won’t complain about the title anymore, it seems to be a catch-word, so I’ll just live with it, you were right.”
