Oscar- nominated producer/songwriter Mark Ronson has posted to his Instagram a video campaigning, not 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.
Not only has Ronson featured his reasoning as to why the legendary rock group deserve a place amongst the Rock and Roll Hall of fame but he's assembled the Avengers of rock to join him. Jack Black, Slash, Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and Chad Smith all feature and list their reasons for loving the rock legends.
Among the testimonials, Homme says, “You want to know what love is? 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.
