I cannot fathom how we could afford to have the ceremony here every year, plus the foundation is located in NY. I mean, we won the location for the HOF, but not the foundation and all their offices and employees. I'm just glad they're having it here every 3 years now instead of never. Every other year would be nice too, but it's just so expensive, I don't know how we would do it.

I think every-other year would be appropriate and doable. It would probably actually be easier to get corporate underwriting if the schedule were more "routine" than every three years. The City of Cleveland did well last weekend--would be a worthy investment!

AGAIN, at this moment we don't have the infrastructure to handle it. The number of Hotel rooms is the number one issues with guests.

It doesn't matter that the Q has more seats or modern concession, restrooms or whatever. The Public Auditorium is a vastly better hall to have a music event period and I'm sure that's why the people who have anything to do with the Rock Hall have it there. The Q would be horrible venue.

I'm actually sure that the Rock Hall people have the event at Public Hall for a few reasons:

A. The historical surroundings.
B. The city gives them the building rent free.
C. Politically it would look bad for them to go outside of a city managed building

I'm sure if HBO and the Rock Hall staff had their way they would choose the Q for these and many more reasons. And from the acoustic point of view, the Q is actually more flexible and manageable than Public Hall, with it's flat concrete surfaces, limited rigging for PA and fixed stage positioning.

Like I said, I am a fan of Public Hall--just pointing out it's drawbacks vs a modern arena. It is my hope that this event continues to show the people of Cleveland what a great building it once was and money is set aside to continue to upgrade and improve it's facilities.

Really?

Not from me they don't. MTS threatened me and told me I'd be in big trouble if I took pictures inside. I didn't even bring a camera in, although I should have, security wasn't exactly all that tight going in.

Smart boy!

Terry Stewart to announce plans to retire as CEO of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
By TIMOTHY MAGAW

Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, is expected to announce his retirement later today, according to an email sent to community leaders.

Mr. Stewart, who has served as the Rock Hall's chief executive for the last 13 years, said in an email he will retire by the end of 2013.

“Where will it take me next? I honestly don't know yet, but, as usual, I intend to have a lot of fun at whatever I end up doing,” Mr. Stewart said in the e-mail.

Not too bad at all for her first visit to Cleveland:

Rock Hall welcomes 9 millionth visitor Monday
Published: Monday, October 08, 2012, 3:32 PM By Laura DeMarco, The Plain Dealer The Plain Dealer

Judy Herlihy of Rochester, N.Y., had the spotlight turned on her when she entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum at 11:30 a.m. Monday.

Herlihy, a recent retiree and avid music fan, was the 9 millionth visitor to enter the hall. The New York state resident, who was paying her first visit to Cleveland, was feted with 500 balloons that fell to greet her.

In addition to the balloons and time in the spotlight, Herlihy was awarded a Lifetime Membership to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, a VIP vault tour, dinner at the Hard Rock Caf , a Sirius radio subscription and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Merchandise Package.

I thought the total visitor count would be higher than 9 million. Good news regardless.

Not a very strong list IMO. Certainly no Guns'N'Roses or Beastie Boys on the list like last year.

AJ93 · « **Reply #402 on:** October 09, 2012, 05:46:48 AM »

I dunno, I think Heart and Rush certainly are worthy candidates. And since we're letting in hip hop now, Public Enemy is a must for the genre.

If Rush gets in, I imagine it's only a matter of time until Yes gets in as well.

Since Rush is at least nominated, I'm directing my ire toward the complete and utter lack of They Might be Giants. My new chant will be 'Let They In!!'

Whipjacka · « **Reply #403 on:** October 09, 2012, 07:27:25 AM »

I love they might be giants, but im not sure they had the success or influence you need to even be considered.

Fine, then I'm starting a movement to get Winger in.

Speaking of influence, what exactly did Bon Jovi influence? More hair bands??

If having a lot of hit songs/success is the barometer, I shudder to think who will be nominated in the future.

jmecklenborg · « **Reply #406 on:** October 10, 2012, 02:43:43 AM »

Bon Jovi? Seriously?

My problems with women began with my babysitter, who was obsessed with Bon Jovi. I was 5 but I knew the guy was a douche.

GCrites80s · « **Reply #407 on:** October 10, 2012, 04:43:36 AM »

God, I hope they don't get in. But, they've sold a lot of records because their sound made radio climax. Bon Jovi didn't even influence the other major hair bands, only D-grade ones like Lion and Tigertailz. Bon Jovi's influence on bands such as Sugar Ray and Chumbawumba is what got them nominated I imagine. City Center Mall stuff.

There was an interesting article recently about Pearl Jam and their "legacy." Author holds them responsible for influencing Creed and Nickleback. That could be enough to blacklist them!

jmecklenborg · « **Reply #409 on:** October 10, 2012, 06:20:45 AM »

The problem with Pearl Jam wasn't the band, it was all Eddie Vedder. He took himself completely seriously. Put Rockso up there.

I loved all the Seattle grunge bands as much as anyone, but man did the 2nd/3rd wave of "grunge", grunge-lite and grunge-influenced nu-metal get f'in horrible. Late 90's- worst era in rock music, ever.

327 · « **Reply #411 on:** October 10, 2012, 06:28:41 AM »

I wouldn't put Creed on Pearl Jam alone. Bands like Candlebox and Collective Soul had a lot more to do with it, in the way they moved grunge toward pop.

Oh, you know Nickelback's going in immediately in 2021. They've sold a ton of records and the band will dramatically raise the profile of the Rock Hall among those all-important upper-middle-class divorced overweight female head-of-households.

Well, technically it's not the Rock & Roll Hall of Good.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to steal that one.

jmecklenborg · « **Reply #416 on:** October 10, 2012, 12:29:59 PM »

Is Public Enemy a "rock" group, I say yes. The band's message is clearly inline with rock/folk protest music. Also, the tracking on their good albums was the product of a real musician, not some circa 2012 college kid with a laptop computer.

Best bridge in hip-hop history at 3:31:


Public Enemy - By The Time I Get To Arizona

The Hammond organ + roller coaster shrieks, how did they ever think of that? That's a pretty much unmodified Hammond sound, too. So cool how that sound straight out of the organ is rich in one context and terrifying in another. Also, they borrow the double-track rotary speaker trick from Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

Randy Newman wrote one "novelty" hit song and wrote soundtracks for movies. If his soundtracks were great, he might deserve an Emmy, but I don't see what business he has being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The voters must be his buddies--it must be the babes and cocaine they shared.
