Madonna Finally Finds Hall of Fame Honor "Flattering"  3/4/08

Pop superstar Madonna initially bulked at the prospect of her upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction - because she was scared she would be thought of as a "musical dinosaur".

The 49-year-old was hesitant about receiving the tribute - which will see her 25-year musical career celebrated alongside other such artists as Leonard Cohen in New York this month (10Mar08).

But the Material Girl star now accepts that being selected for the prize - honoring legendary performers chosen by a more than 700 rock experts - is in fact hugely "flattering".

The Music singer says, "I heard about it and I kind of felt ambivalent, like, 'What is that, the place they put musical dinosaurs?'

"I didn't really know what to think of it. But then lots of people explained to me that it's an acknowledgement of singers and songwriters who have made a contribution in the world of music for 25 years, and so eventually I came around to the idea that it was flattering."
