This is not the first time that we have heard this from a musical icon.

Cher, 77, was a guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show yesterday, and when the topic of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame came up, she did not hold back.

“You know what, I wouldn’t be in now if they gave me a million dollars.  I’m never going to change my mind.  They can just go you-know-what themselves.”

No ambiguity there.

With the recent ousting of Jann Wenner amidst his controversial comments about women in rock, Cher’s candidacy for a Rock Hall of Fame nomination is strong, and the Hall have nominated people in the past who said they would not go in.

As always, this remains one of the most toxic Halls of Fames in the world.

1953 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for all of you who have participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, and if you are unaware of what that is, simply, we acted as if the PFHOF had their first class in January of 1946?

We have completed the first two years, where a Preliminary, Semi-Final and Final vote for the 1946 Class, which inducted two full classes

For “1950” a Preliminary Vote with over 130 players whose playing career ended by 1943. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, with the top 25 vote getters named as Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

30 Votes took place, with the top five advancing.

Dylan Larkin was born to be a Detroit Red Wing.

From Waterford, Michigan, Larkin played in the U.S. Junior system and would play for the Michigan Wolverines in college.  Drafted in 2014 in the First Round, Larkin joined the Red Wings organization in 2015 where he was assigned to their AHL affiliate for the playoffs, but would make Detroit’s roster in the following season.

As a rookie, Larkin made the All-Star Team, and was fifth in Calder voting after a 45 Point year.  The Center struggled in his sophomore year, but he improved in the seasons after, even on a team that was not very good.  Larkin scored 73 Points in 2019/19 and had 69 in 2021/22 where he was an All-Star for his second time.

Larkin went to the All-Star Game the last two seasons, and the Captain has been their undisputed leader.  This might be a down period for the Wings, but he has done what he can to push Detroit to the playoffs.  

Currently, he has 506 Points.

In 2019, Joe Pavelski arrived as a Free Agent after spending 13 seasons in a San Jose Sharks uniform.  It was expected that the veteran would slow down, and in his first season, he scored only 31 Points in 67 Games, but in the playoffs, he became the first Star to record a hat trick.

Pavelski has been great for Dallas since, capped with a career-high 81 Points in 2012-22, followed by a 77-point year, his third-best season total.  He played one more season with the Stars, scoring 67 Points and helping them reach the Western Conference Finals, and that would end his hockey run.  Days after he turned 40, Pavelski retired, even though he still appeared to have plenty left in the tank.
