November 27, 20223 yr Happened November 5. On HBO Max. Every year usually has something for everyone. https://wror.com/listicle/rock-hall-2022-complete-setlist-from-the-induction/
November 28, 20223 yr Thought the performances were pretty damn good. Eminem fucking killed it. Sign of the apocalypse was seeing Rob Halford on stage with Dolly Parton.
November 29, 20223 yr I love Dolly Parton. I don’t get her inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame though. She sang some pop songs so I guess that counts nowadays. She seemed irritated with some of the dudes getting on her stage and in her space. And dudes singing Jolene. That’s a ladies song. Sung to a woman by a woman. I also don’t get rappers and hip hop in there. Or strict pop stars. Or Joan Baez. Or Miles Davis. Or Harry Belafonte. Or Laura Nyro. Whatever. Great artists but not their wheelhouse. They should have never built it in Cleveland. Cleveland has nothing to do with the actual music. They were still listening to fucking Pat Boone years after Ike Turner parked at Sun Studios and started it all. It belongs in Memphis.

She tried to bow out of her nomination, because she felt she wasn't a rock artist. The HoF had already sent out the ballots, so she accepted the honor.

They were still listening to fucking Pat Boone years after Ike Turner parked at Sun Studios and started it all. Unfamiliar with Alan Freed? He started playing black R&B on his Cleveland radio show in the early 50's and coined the term "rock and roll", and hosted the first major rock concert. In that sense, Cleveland is part of rock 'n roll history. Edited November 29, 20223 yr by jimmyjazz
November 29, 20223 yr It's not a real thing, anyway. It's like another fake rasslin' league. It's just something to fool people into buying tickets and paying for rights and shit.
November 30, 20223 yr I'm just now through the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis induction, but holy smokes those guys are impressive. They knew what they wanted to do and they did it. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo were equally impressive, and I was never a huge fan. Didn't hate 'em or anything, it just wasn't my cup of tea, but that dude can play guitar and of course she can flat out sing. They seem like good peeps, too. Beyond that, I could watch John Taylor play bass for hours. Looking forward to Eminem.

December 1, 20223 yr Yeah, that was extraordinary. Not much rock 'n roll, but really great all around. Annie Lennox is my spirit animal.
December 1, 20223 yr Eminem absolutely shredded everyone else and Benatar was awesome. No one else can sing anymore.

Liked JP's set but wish they would have done Victim of Changes. I think from the bits and pieces I have seen, the Eurythmics is my favorite at this point. (and I was a very big fan of both JP and Benatar back in the day) Eminem's was better but Lennox is in her 60's and can still get it.

December 2, 20223 yr I wonder how long it will take before the average American figures out that the "Rock 'n Roll" HOF is a misnomer, that it won't be limited to rock artists, that it's pretty much a Hall of Fame dedicated to artists who mostly sold a lot of records after 1950 and weren't focused on classical, jazz, or international music? At this point I don't get the hot takes about rap or country or whatever. Get over it. They're part of the club.
