P. Cetera lost a certain edge to his voice once he finally had that bowel movement...

This was their big comeback single (lolling so hard at Rutger Hauer Peter Cetera here, plz let Alex in NYC see this)
Yes, the Bauhaus t-shirt has been well documented and outraged over already.

I find it strange that 20 people would vote PE when it was already established that they're not eligible yet, so it's the least shocking exclusion by default.
Maybe they thought it read "Most Shocklee" exclusion.

Mea culpa. Halfway through the school year, I started playing music over the P.A. system during morning entry. Our staff has a typical age range of late-20s through to early-50s (I'm close to one end of that spectrum), so I'd mix things up, from the new Cypress Hill single to the Spice Girls to Andy Williams' "Can't Get Used to Losing You." (Loud guitars generally no, although I did play "Good Times Bad Times" one morning.) Anyway, yesterday I got to satisfy a lifelong dream: as the kids filed in, "School's Out" blared. So I'm here to say that Alice Cooper needs to go into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame immediately.

Oddly enough, all 500 of them started chanting "Hall-of-Fame! Hall-of-Fame!" in unison...I spotted at least a couple who obviously knew the song already, which was nice.

Get him out of there. You need the room for the Police and Rush and Britney Spears.

Pathetically pleased that all four of my inductions predicted upthread came to pass. (I also correctly predicted the top six Oscars in both '83 and '84)

like he is definitely a huge part of the rock n roll hall of fame for anyone who cares more than an iota about the rock n roll hall of fame. but that group of people really isn't that big. and i say that as someone who cares more than iota!

I've always had a soft spot for Freed, based on American Hot Wax and on a couple of LPs I bought years ago, where he provides intros to a bunch of great doo-wop songs. (They were put out by Roulette, I think towards the end when he was having a hard time.)

He strikes me a really heroic figure, brought down by the IRS, but really because he played black artists at a time when no one would. I should read a biography, though--I'm sure the story isn't quite that simple.
