This coming week should be jam-packed with Rock Action! Here are just a few of the events we have planned. Beyond that, anything goes! For all we know it may be an All-Star Jam that takes us to the next level.
Monday kicks off a week-long examination of 2007’s Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame inductees and other HoF-related topics. This year’s inductees are Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, R.E.M., The Ronettes, Patti Smith (see video), and Van Halen. We know the whole thing’s a crock, but it’s still hard to resist caring, getting worked up over the self-aggrandizing nature of the event, and even getting a bit moved by a particular artist’s performance or induction/acceptance speech. Monday, March 12, the show will be broadcast live on VH1 Classics; it will then be broadcast endlessly on regular VH1 beginning Saturday, March 17. Expect hot, live blogging action Monday evening and thereafter!
Also by Monday, all entries will be in for the Rock Town Hall Fantasy Rock Band Leauge. Details about the draft procedures, the talent pool, and predraft predictions and analysis will begin publishing this weekend. Anticipation is building. There’s still time to reserve a band. See description and entry rules here!
That’s not all that’s to come, but we’re not telling any more than what we’re certain of happening. So there! Get ready, Rock Town Hall. If you’re new around here and have yet to jump into the fray, this is an ideal week to take the leap.
