It’s that time of year again for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony. The 2010 inductees include Genesis, The Hollies, ABBA, Jimmy Cliff & The Stooges.
Over the past 25 years there have been many great moments occuring at the ceremony, including rock & roll reunions, once-in-a-lifetime jam sessions, and memorable speeches. Of the latter, some of my favorites include Phil Spector’s bizarre induction of The Platters in 1990 as well as Mike Love’s acceptance speech in 1988. Here’s a taste:
As for who gets into the Hall, sometimes I am miffed at the choices made. Especially considering who is NOT in the Hall of Fame. A long list, by the way, but I’ll name 5. The Doobie Brothers, Neil Diamond, Deep Purple, Chicago, Moody Blues.
That out of the way, I will state that even without Peter Gabriel’s participation, I’m confident there will be surprises and lots to enjoy at this years ceremony.
The 2010 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony airs live Monday Night on Fuse.
And check out The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Weekend on True Oldies.
One more plug: Last year, Time Life released a great 9 DVD set of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame highlights 1986-2009.
NBC announced Thursday that the 88-year-old actress will host the show May 8. “SNL” executive producer Lorne Michaels says he can’t think of a better way to spend Mother’s Day weekend than with White.
Betty White has made somewhat of a comeback over the past months that all started with her appearance in the Snicker’s Super Bowl Commercial during the 2010 Super Bowl

In 1968, the North American prime-time television audience got a look at Frank Zappa when he appeared on the penultimate episode of The Monkees NBC TV show.
In the segment, Mike Nesmith (playing the part of Zappa) is interviewed by Zappa (playing Nesmith). Hilarity and hi-jinx quickly ensue, ending with the destruction of a car. Watch it for yourself!
Uh oh. Looks like Don Draper may need another drink. Matell has unveiled plans to transform four of the leading characters from the incredibly popular Mad Men television series in miniature form – by creating Barbie doll versions of Don, Betty, Joan and Roger.
Every year since 1993, the Oscars have featured an “in memoriam” segment paying tribute to actors, directors, screenwriters and Hollywood greats who have passed away in the past year. And often, someone is left out of the reel, causing quite a controversy.
1972 – “Horse With No Name” earned America a gold record.
1975 - John Lennon released the single “Stand By Me” in the US, a cover of the Ben E. King classic.
1981 – Jimmy Page appeared solo for the first time since Led Zeppelin disbanded, performing three encores with Jeff Beck at a concert in London.
1986 – Former Deep Purple frontman, Ian Gillan left Black Sabbath. He had joined three years earlier to replace Ronnie James Dio, who had replaced Ozzy Osbourne.
