Why did Carol Kaye reject the Hall of Fame?

"I refuse to be part of a process that is something else rather than what I believe in, for others' benefit and not reflecting on the truth — we all enjoyed working with EACH OTHER……..Thank-You for understanding." Another likely issue is Kaye's aversion to the name "Wrecking Crew."
