RNRU : Realistically, what do you feel Grand Funk's chances are at being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? Does it even matter to you at this point?

DB : Well, I don't know what the chances are. I think they're pretty slim, because the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame is controlled by Rolling Stone Magazine, and Grand Funk was never a Rolling Stone Magazine darling. So I kind of think... the fans have solicited them for years to get us inducted, and it just keeps going away. I think there are politics still involved, and I hate to say this to the fans, but I don't think it's going to happen. I'll be surprised if it does. (Laughs) I have no idea, that's out of my control. If it happens, great, if it doesn't, then so be it.

RNRU : There's been talk over the past several years about a new Grand Funk studio album with all new material. What's the status of that, and are there still plans to come out with a new album in the not too distant future?
