It should be interestin' to see who shows up for the honors tonight. Expect REM to be lookin' good... with maybe a philosophical comment or two. Wonderin' if there will be any political statements from the Grandmaster crew. And wonderin' what percentage of what version of Van Halen will make it. (Hats off to Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony... from what I've heard, they'll be there... will the other players? ...and let's hope Eddie really can shake himself free from his devils.)
If you want two sides of the coin in music, you'll find it between the induction of the Ronettes and Patti Smith. The Ronettes inclusion is warranted on the stamp their music put on the soundtrack of the Sixties (arguments on producer influence put aside for now). Smith's contributions need to be recognized now (!) She's due.
Well, let'see what tonight brings...
