U2 Postpones Final Leg of Tour; Blondie, Miles Davis Among Hall of Fame Inductees

On March 13, the 21st annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions will take place at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. This year's five inductees are Black Sabbath, the late Miles Davis, Blondie, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols have announced that they won't be attending the ceremony. A statement on the band's web site said, "Next to the Sex Pistols, rock and roll and that Hall of Fame is a p*** stain. If you voted for us, hope you noted your reasons. You're anonymous as judges, but you're still music industry people. We're not coming. You're not paying attention." In other, more important, news, the induction ceremony will feature a tribute to New Orleans with performances by Buckwheat Zydeco, Allen Toussaint and Elvis Costello. Also during the event, Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, who co-founded A&M Records in the early 1960s, will receive a lifetime achievement award in the non-performer category.

Hey, I've actually spoken with a soon-to-be Rock and Roller Hall of Famer. (I had a office temp job working with the construction company for a new music publishing Jerry Moss and Herb Alpert were opening in the late eighties/early nineties. In typical fashion, it was Jerry and not Herb that I met.)
