Foreigner’s Rock Hall of Fame Bid Extolled by Dave Grohl, Slash, Jack Black and Other Rockers in FYC Video From Mark Ronson
A video by Mark Ronson, stepson of Foreigner's Mick Jones, has Jack Black, Josh Homme and others boosting their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination.
Oscar-nominated producer/songwriter Mark Ronson has put together an FYC video — not campaigning for his own Academy Award nomination for the music of “Barbie,” but for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bid for Foreigner, the founding lineup of which happens to have his stepfather, Mick Jones, as a cornerstone. Love is putting Foreigner in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” Smith complains, “I can’t believe they’re not in already — oh my God,” echoing the sentiment of a crawl that asks “WTF?” in response to the 1970s-based group not having been previously nominated. Fans are curious to know if a Rock Hall induction could bring the surviving founders back for an evening, including former members Lou Gramm (the original lead singer), Dennis Elliott (drums) and Al Greenwood (keyboards).
