    Is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a joke?

    I've been noticing the inductees being inducted into the RRHOF and who during the 60-80's still haven't been and I think it's a total joke. They should just change the name to the Music Hall of Fame. Seriously, Dolly Parton in before Foreigner or Boston? There are many more that weren't rock...

    Ok, you'll clearly see I have no electrical experience. I have my motor home plugged in at the storage unit. It appears to be only 15amp gfi outlet and I have a short 14 10' extension cord plugged in to keep batteries up. No problem with this setup. Then after a trip, instead of backing it in...
