So kids, what ten things did we learn from this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony?
1. Gene Simmons can act humble if he really wants to, though we wonder how long it will be before they cash in on selling the tablecloth and other props from their table at the ceremony.
2. Bruce Springsteen should have (and almost said as much) that his backing band should have been inducted with him years earlier.
3. We also learned that based on the crowd reaction, the Hall knew full well that they could cash in twice by inducting them separately. If the Hall could figure out a way to induct Springsteen’s pet dog, they will.
4. KISS and Cat Stevens on the same stage is as weird today as it would have been forty years ago.
5. Chris Martin has a decent sense of humor, and is not quite the douche that so many of us (and sometimes we are in that category) label him as. Then again, maybe he is.
6. If we are ever inducted into anything, then can we have Tom Morello do it? He can make us excited about anything.
7. Nirvana broke the walls of contemporary music down twenty-five years ago. They did it again last night.
8. The RRHOF continues to do a great job with gender equity. The performance by the women involved last night was incredible, and again makes you wonder why there aren’t more women prominently featured in Rock and Roll. The Hall certainly tries to showcase them as much as they can!
9. Hall & Oates killed it, and we wonder if “Adult Education” (from the movie, She’s Out of My League” is the only H&O cover band.
10. No matter what who is selected next year, there will be countless debates on it, more perceived snubs, and an inductee will say something controversial, or potentially boycott the event.
With that gang, we now look towards 2015. Our list is already up, and we as always encourage your comments and votes!
