It looks like Beyonce is headed towards the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; well at least her clothing is anyway.

Outfits from her Super Bowl Performance and single black unitard worn from her “Single Ladies” video will be on display this Tuesday in the Ahmet Ehrtegun Main Exhibit Hall in its Legends of Rock section.  Based on the amount of material that Beyonce was willing to donate, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame elected to put her display in the main attraction of the site.

This addition to the Hall, and the comments made by Rock and Roll HOF Executives comparing her to Aretha Franklin open the question as to whether Cleveland will permanently honor Beyonce next decade.  Beyonce will be eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002 as a member of Destiny’s Child and again in 2027 as a solo artist.

Regardless of whether you think a Beyonce exhibit belongs in the Hall, based on the progression of music, we here feel that this is a nice addition.




The Rock and Roll world lost another great one today with the passing of Johnny Winter, who died in his hotel room in Zurich, Switzerland today at the age of 70.  It is unknown at this time what was the cause of his death.

The distinctively looking Winter (he was born with albinism and horrific eyesight) would carve a place for himself in the Rock/Blues world.  Winter first gained recognition in 1968 as a live act, and would put out his first album the following year.  While Winter never sold a ton of albums, nor had radio friendly singles, he quickly became known for his live performances and would be one of the few musicians in the early 1970’s that could sell out an arena without the benefit of radio.

Winter, who was once introduced at the famed Fillmore East as the “baddest mother fucker” delighted crowds with the rapid speed in which he played the guitar, yet was still rooted in the Blues and had the soul and fluidity of the Blues legends he grew up on.  He also sang with an earnest and intense growl, in a voice that could only match the way he played.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of Johnny Winter’s career was when he was able to produce his childhood idol’s album.  In 1977, Winter produced Muddy Waters’ albums, which he also played on.  The collaboration not only revitalized Waters’ career but also earned three Grammy Awards.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Johnny Winter at this time.





Pete Rose is in the news again, specifically saying that the admission of PED users into the Baseball Hall of Fame will enhance his chances to the Hall of Fame.

In a series of radio interviews Rose had the following to say:

“I wish it would happen, If someway that would happen, it would increase my opportunities.”

In an interview with us two years ago, Rose added that the Hall of Fame “is not filled with choir boys”, indicating that the character of many of the inductees can certainly be questioned.

The one thing that can be said about Pete Rose over the past few years is that he is blunt.  Rose said in previous interviews (including with us) that it was not his place to challenge the PED users who threatened the Home Run record, as it was not his.  He has also stated that it is Hank Aaron who should speak out against it, should he feel so inclined. 

Rose is correct in assuming that the induction of players like Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa would have to aid him by default.  However, as we know (and so does Pete), the voting from the Baseball Hall of Fame Committee does not indicate that any known PED users will be entering Cooperstown anytime soon.

Rose continued to talk about another reason that he was excluded in the first place:

“I think Faye Vincent (the man who succeeded Bart Giamatti) thinks I killed Bart Giamatti.  Not the fact that he smoked five packs of cigaretted a day, nor the fact that he was 70 pounds overweight.  It was the stress he went through when he had to battle with me.”

The feud between Faye Vincent and Pate Rose has been well documented in the past and this comment is nothing new.  Regular visitors here at Notinhalloffame.com know that we are supporters of the “Hit King” entering the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Do his comments make sense to you, or does this sound like the ranting of a hypocrite?  Either way, we would love to hear your thoughts! 

  




The Michigan State Athletic Hall of Fame has announced their latest class and its headliner is former Offensive Tackle, Flozell Adams, who played there from 1994 to 1998.  Adams was an All-American in his senior year and the Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year.  He would go on to have a successful career in the NFL most notably with the Dallas Cowboys.

Another former football player, Buck Nystrom who played there in the 1950’s, joins Adams.   The other four inductees this year are Amateur Wrestler, Greg Johnson, Softball and Women’s Basketball standout, Kathy Strahan, Tennis Player, Sue Selke and Gymnast, Dave Thor. 

This group will be officially inducted on September 18th and another ceremony will take place on the 20th when the Spartans football team host Eastern Michigan.

We would like to congratulate the latest class at this time.
