One More Steve Miller E-Mail

In defense of the mono-gender criticism of the Steve Miller Band personnel over the years, Steve asked my very talented wife Diane Steinberg Lewis to join the band back in 1983 to play keyboards and sing but she had prior commitments.

We also auditioned a female singer songwriter to join us in 2008 after our beloved Norton Buffalo succumbed to lung cancer to help with our harmony stack and play guitar but we went in another direction.

Also many world class female rhythm section players have only started surfacing in the last 10 or 15 years and we have had the same core band now for over 25 years. But who knows what might happen in the near future??

Also Steve did have a very big rock star selected to induct him who is a friend of his but the RRHOF said "No. You don't get to pick who inducts you. We pick them." So Steve honestly did not know who the Black Keys were and frankly didn't care and was extremely disappointed before he even showed up.

And as for Mr Miller being called an asshole and boorish for his bully pulpit moment, you spineless non artists who said it, you are disqualified from being able to make such a statement because you've never stood inside a rock star's shoes nor have an inkling to what it like to be abused and exploited.
