Well, this is a nice surprise!
After speculation of whether or not he would even be in appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, former lead singer of Journey, Steve Perry, will in fact perform with his former band at their induction ceremony.
Journey’s set is to be “Separate Ways”, “Lights” and of course, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, though it is unknown as to whether Perry will be singing one, two or all three of those songs.
This will be Perry’s first performance with Journey since 1991.

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

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.
