Bon Jovi has been eligible for the Rock Hall of Fame for 8 years, has only been on the ballot once (2011), and was passed over for a nomination again this year.  Asked about it by Howard Stern, Jon started by saying he '...couldn't be as honest about it as I'd like to', but then cut to the chase, saying his band has been blocked from getting in by '...two f#%kers' on the nominating committee, one of whom he had a big blow out with in the past.  Jon declined to identify who either of them are, but his words and attitude made it apparent the relationship between him and the guy he has a beef with is not likely to improve much in the future. 'I'm never shy, when I see him, to call him a few more choice words. And there's other guys on that thing that have made it their personal mission to f#%k with me.'  Asked by Stern whether one of them was Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone and the Chairman of the Hall's foundation, Jon declined to say.
