no, we will be @ the Vernon Hotel...I bet if you ask nicely they will put it up on the TV for ya ;)

is Bill going to be there?

You bet I'll be watching. (Sorry, Keith; not feeling so well, so I will be at home tonight)
I love these things as well. I am excited to see Ronnie Spector and see if she still sounds good. She always seems to.

and then Bill says, damn I miss you guys...lets make beautiful music again rather than that crap you guys have been doing since I left (not including at my most beautiful and a couple other jaunty tunes)

and tibbs, you suck :) j/k

the good news is I am making progress on the bar, the rail system is about done, soon I will drink your beer and tell you that you suck in person :)

...And rehire Jefferson Holt. That's when it all went downhill.

Jefferson, I think we're lost.

Too many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees fail the test of time

sorry the second link didnt work...here's that article:



THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
Rock Hall's name is a shame
The moniker should reflect the ever-broadening musical scope of its inductees.

TEARDROPS will fall Monday night at New York's Waldorf-Astoria, as the countercultural power players who run the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame mourn their great elder, Ahmet Ertegun, who died in December.

The loss of Ertegun, a founder of the Rock Hall as well as the Atlantic label and an open-minded record man whose broad taste helped define the term "rock and roll," signals a shift for the controversial institution. With only Ertegun's colleague Jerry Wexler remaining in the emeritus chair, the baby boomers who run the joint will soon have to take on that role and make way for the next generation to determine how its legacy is preserved.


In the aftermath of Ertegun, this year's inductions, topped by the first hip-hop crew to be included

i don't have a beef with it. why would you say that? you posted a subject and i linked more information about it that i read today. I actually thought that the origion of the term Rock-n-Roll in the second article was interesting. as well as the point about defining what Rock and Roll is.

I'm watching the show on the link you posted (since theres nothing else on TV and i actually have a night off) The Aretha Franklin performance was pretty cool.

SO are they saving REM for last? i hope not

oh and MY opinion? So far its more entertaining than the Oscars were. Plus I would love to hear the full version of "While my guitar gently weeps" that was shown in the clip (with prince and Tom Petty) the little they played sounded kick ass.

the show is up online here http://spinner.aol.com/rockhall/2007-induction-ceremony

REM doing Gardening at Night was a highlight for me, they sounded great plus I think I picked up a few lyrics I never was sure about. Stipe was a little low energy but sounded good.  The impromtu Why Can't This Be Love with Paul Shaffers Band, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar was pretty great too, I must say. The jam at the end was again one of those crazy surreal collections of famous people. Peter Buck playing guitar with Keith Richards next to him while Bill Berry and Michael Anthony sing backups was hysterical.

 if anyone is wonder about those lyrics...

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes.
Somewhere it must be time for penitence. Gardening at night is never where.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.

The neighbors go to bed at ten.
Call the prayer line for a change.
The charge is changing every month.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night

Your sister said that you're too young.
They should know they've been there twice.
The call was 2 and 51.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night
