Alan Jackson to the Country Music HOF

Not in Hall of Fame News
We have yet to rank those who are not in the Country Music Hall of Fame, and we may never. One thing is certain is that whether or not we rank those not included in the Hall this is certainly an institution that we hold in high regard. As such it is considered news to us that the Country Music Hall of Fame Class of 2017 has been announced.
This is not a large group, but is typical of the Country Hall, which has been established in the early 1960’s and only boasts 133 members. The three new members forming the Class of 2017 come from three categories.
Alan Jackson enters as this year’s “Modern Era Artist”. Jackson has an incredible 35 number one songs to his credit and has sold over 80 million records. It is noteworthy that the Country Music Hall of Fame had an exhibit in 2014 honoring his 25 years in the music industry.
Jackson will joined by the late Jerry Reed, who enters as the “Veteran’s Era Artist”. Reed was also an actor and is best known to fans for his roles in the Smokey and the Bandit films. He would go #1 on the Country Music charts four times.
Don Schlitz is this year’s third inductee, selected in the “Songwriter” category, which is rotated and awarded every three years. Schlitz wrote Kenny Rogers’ biggest hit, “The Gambler” and “Forever and Ever, Amen” by Randy Travis.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

David Letterman to replace Neil Young as Pearl Jam's Inductor
Apr 05, 2017

Not in Hall of Fame News
Neil Young was scheduled to be a part of this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as he was pegged as the inductor of Pearl Jam. Due to illness (as reported by the Rock and Roll Hall), the music legend will not be a part of the ceremony, but his replacement might be even more famous, albeit not in the music industry.
Former late night kingpin, David Letterman will now be inducting Pearl Jam. While this may seem illogical, there is no disputing that Letterman is a huge name in the entertainment field, and during his run at NBC hosting Late Night, he had many alternative bands that would not be typical on other shows.
While we will miss seeing Young at the ceremony, Letterman is a great substitute.
Let’s just hope that Young is OK!

Misfits to be represented at the Rock Hall...sort of

The Misfits are not members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, however this does not mean that they will not be there in some capacity.
In commemoration of the group’s first performance forty years ago at the famed CBGB club in New York City, artifacts from the band will be at display. Specifically, founding member, Jerry Only’s custom bass guitar and the leather vest are now on display.
The items are on display with other former possessions of the Ramones and the Talking Heads.
For what it is worth, The Misfits are ranked #218 on our latest Notinhalloffame.com Rock and Roll list.

Tony Romo Retires
Apr 04, 2017

This was a little unexpected!
Today, we woke up to a major retirement in the National Football League, as Quarterback Tony Romo is calling it a career and joining the CBS broadcasting team. It was expected that Romo would continue his career and possibly sign with either the Denver Broncos or the Houston Texans and continue his playing career but this move certainly ends that.
Romo lost his starting Quarterback job due to injury to Dak Prescott, but had a very good career in the NFL, playing all of his fourteen seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Undrafted out of Eastern Illinois, Dallas signed him as a Free Agent in 2003 and through hard work would win the starting job from Drew Bledsoe midway through the ’06 season, where he would finish up so good that he would be named to his first of what would be four Pro Bowls.
While he was not able to take the Cowboys to the Super Bowl, Romo was considered one of the better QBs in the league for over a decade and finihes his career with 34,183 Passing Yards with 248 Touchdown Passes. Romo’s best season statistically was 2014, where he would lead the NFL in Passer Rating and was 97 Yards short of 5,000 for the season.
This is a good career, but one that may not be good enough to get into him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame it should warrant him a spot on our Notinhalloffame.com List for Hall of Fame consideration. He will be eligible for the Hall in 2022.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Tony Romo for an excellent career and wish him the best in his new role alongside Jim Nantz at CBS.
