Rock Hall of Fame presenters announced
It's always interesting to see what fellow artists are going to give the induction speech for their heroes and friends at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. This year is proving to be no different. Leading the pack would be the C.E.O. of the ROC himself, Jay-Z, who will do the honors for the first rap group to get into the Hall, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Eddie Vedder will induct R.E.M., which should undoubtedly lead to him joining the band on stage, as he did during 2004's Vote for Change tour. Zach de la Rocha, more and more coming out of hiding now, will give the speech for Patti Smith. Keef "The Coconut Fighter" Richards will induct the Ronettes. And, in quite the rockstar supernova, Velvet Goldmine will fete Van Halen, a band who may be there reunited in full with David Lee Roth or who might have no members show up.
In other Hall show news, Aretha Franklin will serenade the recently deceased Ahmet Ertegun. And for the first time, VH1 Classic will air the show, happening March 12th, live.
