RRHOF Induction Ceremony

[rick]

So, once more the Rock 'n' Roll Hall had its ceremony. As there is another thread mostly about Axl Rose, I posted this as its own thread. Interestingly, Rod Stewart was a notable no-show with the Faces/Small Faces being brought in.

Also, of note, IMHO, is that Bette Midler made the presentation for Laura Nyro. I've heard it rumored for some time that she is planning a tribute album to Laura.

If there is a bright spot, I suppose (even though it comes fifteen years too late for her) it is that Laura Nyro got her props for what she achieved during her shockingly short life--and for her fans disproving the myth that she got the bum's rush at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.
