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!

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

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.

Well, there is one mystery answered for the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony.
Steve Perry, the former lead singer of Journey will be on hand to accept the induction, though according to Jonathan Cain, the keyboardist, it is was implied that he would not be performing with the group. This was from an interview with the Dayton Daily News:
"As far as we know he's just going to accept the award and then skedaddle. That's all I know, unless something changes. Arnel is going to represent very well, like he always does."
Arnel, is Arnel Pineda, who was plucked from obscurity to become the band’s lead singer, a role he has had for the past ten years. Pineda himself has stated that he is looking forward to meeting Perry, whom he has never met. Notably, Pineda is not amongst the band members who are being inducted.
The odds are that we haven’t finished reporting on the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony!
