“Honestly, I was sincere, I didn't mean to start any controversy, when they said that wanted to put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I always thought that was for people who spent their whole life working to be in Rock and roll," she explained. "You don't see Led Zeppelin in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I found out it was more than that. So, when I realized what it was, I [decided] to accept graciously. I'm very honored, very proud."
