Sparkle Anderson
Jul 11, 2014
Published in
The Artists
To be clear, this entry refers to the 2012 version, which starred former American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks. As the lead character, Sparkle Anderson, Sparks was able to showcase her singing voice multiple times with the implication that she was going to make it big at the end. The movie is pure formula, but it did what it needed to do, and in the opinion of many worked very well. Depending on how this film ages, and the potential success of the lead actress, we could have a future entry to the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame here.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Sparkle (2012)
Actor:
Jordin Sparks
Songs you might remember:
One Wing
Love Will
Why you should vote for her:
A lot of success was implied for this character, and we did see her sing often.
Why you should not vote for her:
Depending on your point of view, Sparks was upstaged by her co-stars; also wasn’t she the manager of the Cincinnati Reds in the 1970’s?

The Artists
From 30 Rock, we were treated to a brief performance of “Sound Mound” a band of limited ability, though in their lone episode they managed to secure an album, a music video and about 5,000 T-shirts. Does this make a Fictitious Hall of Fame act? Probably not, but our crush on Tina Fey says it might.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
30 Rock (2011)
Actors:
Scott Adsit (Pete Hornberger, Guitar)
Judah Friedlander (Frank Rossitano, Keyboards)
Songs you might remember:
Weekend Woman
Why you should vote for them:
We know that Tina Fey wasn’t in the band, but just her running the show is a plus for us!
Why you should not vote for them:
Realistically, this was a blip on the radar for the show.

The Artists
Played by the Galactic Cowboys, the Sons of Thunder had a brief role in the cult film, Airheads where they played a band that made it after they were helped out by a radio station. The role was not big, but was essential to the plot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Airheads (1994)
Actors:
The Galactic Cowboys
Songs you might remember:
Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful
Why you should vote for them:
This has become a cult of a cult film. Does this mean something?
Why you should not vote for them:
The lone song is not even available to purchase. That means something too.
Sonny Mann

The Artists
From both the network and syndicated version of “It’s A Living”, we have someone who may be below a lounge singer. Sonny Mann (Paul Kreppel) was a horrible piano player/singer who stunk it up at the top of the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. Does that grant him a Hall of Fame entry? Probably not, but we liked looking at his co-workers!
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
It’s A Living (1980-82 & 1985-89)
Actor:
Paul Kreppel
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
He was around a lot of hot waitresses.
Why you should not vote for him:
He stunk at his job.
