Rolling Stones exhibit at the RRHOF

We may have to plan another trip to Cleveland.
On May 24, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will open a new exhibit dedicated to the “Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World”. “Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction” will encompass two and half floors of the Cleveland based Hall, and will be open until March of 2014.
The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Hall back in 1989, and may have performed more concerts than any other five inducted acts combined. The exhibit will showcase the British band in a way that we are sure will bring fans from around the world. We would not bet against the Rolling Stones from being around in twenty five more years to see a 75th anniversary retrospective; especially Keith Richards as in the event of a nuclear holocaust, he is likely to be the one to survive. Seriously, it is Keith and the cockroaches who will outlive us all.

Donald Trump to the WWE HOF

The WWE has announced its latest entrant to the WWE Hall of Fame, and the defacto member of this year’s celebrity wing. Billionaire, Donald Trump will be entering the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2013. Trump hosted Wrestlemania IV and V at his Atlantic City casino, and he made an appearance at Wrestlemania VII in the crowd. Of greater note, the star of NBC’s “The Apprentice” appeared at Wrestlemania XXIII in the corner of Bobby Lashley, who took on Umaga, with Vince McMahon in his corner. The loser (which of course was McMahon) had his head shaved. Trump as also appeared on multiple episodes on Monday Night Raw, and McMahon himself was a guest on the Apprentice. We had Trump ranked #5 on our list of Celebrity Inductees and are much happier with this celebrity inductee as opposed to Drew Carey.

2013 Songwriters HOF Class Announced
Feb 24, 2013

Although we focus musically on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we thought it would be pertinent to mention that the Songwriters Hall of Fame have announced their latest inductions. Many members of the Class of 2013 will be familiar to Rock fans.
The class is headlined by Steve Tyler and Joe Perry from Aerosmith. We are trying to remember Tyler from the “Dream On” days, as opposed to the androgynous looking former judge of American Idol. Aerosmith was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
The two Aerosmith members are joined by Tony Hatch, the British songwriter who penned many songs for Petula Clark. Also part of the class is Mick Jones and Lou Gramm who were band mates in the British/American band, Foreigner. Both Clark and Foreigner are ranked on our notinhalloffame Rock list for the Rock Hall, though neither are expected to be inducted.
Holly Knight was also selected. She penned many hits for Tina Turner, and many others. The final inductee is J.D. Souther, who wrote songs predominately in the Country Rock genre, and penned hits for the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt.
Although we do not plan to create a section for the Songwriters Hall of Fame, we congratulate this year’s Class and will be watching to see who will be inducted next.
