rock and roll is finally back in cleveland

even though i unfortunately won't be able to participate in the 2009 rock and roll hall of fame induction ceremony that is going on a few blocks away from my apartment due to prior obligations i still think it deserves a mention here on the plum.

as many of you know i try my hardest to show everyone how flippin' awesome cleveland is and this weekends festivities prove it.

tonights induction at cleveland's historic public hall is bringing the attention of rock and roll finally back to where it all started, cleveland. after twenty some odd years of the induction being held in new york city the agreement is now that cleveland will host the ceremony every three years.

here's to hoping i won't have to turn down two sets of tickets to the induction ceremony and concert again in three years.

if you are interested in watching the induction ceremony it will be broadcast live tonight on Fuse.

the performer inductees are:
jeff beck
little anthony and the imperials
metallica
run dmc
bobby womack

early influencer category inductee:
wanda jackson

sideman category inductee:
bill black
dj fontana
spooner oldham

with some of the notable presenters at the induction are eminem, jimmy page, ron wood and flea of the red hot chili peppers. (OMG!)

all these people are in cleveland right now, this is a celebrity dream for ohio! and i'm frankly ridiculously jealous of anyone going to the ceremony tonight.

induction ceremony > baby shower

but

friends > musicians i don't know

it evens out, right?

anyways if you are in cleveland right now enjoy the weekend, have fun, stalk celebrities and damn it fuckin' rock and roll bitches.
