Pistols, Blondie, Sabbath, Miles Join Rock Hall of
Fame

Matthew Solarski reports:

After bending under the thumb of old fogey
sensibilities for years, going to bed early, and
welcoming acts like the Eagles, Steely Dan, and U2
into its ivory tower, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
is finally loosening up. Maybe it's the fact that the
institution turns 19 next year and is entering that
dreaded rebellious phase. Hormones are raging, life is
complicated, and the Lovin' Spoonful just doesn't feel
the Hall's pain anymore. That's why, in 2006, the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame is all about sticking it to The
Man, inducting punk icons the Sex Pistols, metal
godfathers Black Sabbath, new wave heartthrobs
Blondie, and jazz trailblazer Miles Davis. And, cause
at heart they still love mom and dad, good ol' boys
Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Artists become worthy of the Hall's consideration 25
years after the release of their debut album, at which
point they may be nominated for induction by a panel
of "rock and roll historians", according the Hall of
Fame website. The Hall then turns things over to "an
international voting body of about 1,000 rock experts"
who pick the inductees;typically five to seven each
year. In 2005, the hallowed Hall welcomed the
Pretenders, U2, Buddy Guy, the O'Jays, and Percy
Sledge.

Even at the tender age of 19, the Hall recognizes that
rock and roll's legacy involves more than pretty faces
and nifty riffs. To that end they also honor
behind-the-scenes movers and shakers. The 2006
Non-Performer Lifetime Achievement Award will go to
A&M Records co-founders Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss.
And rightly so: Alpert deserves a closet full of
trophies for the Whipped Cream & Other Delights album
cover alone.

The induction ceremony will take place March 13 at New
York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and will be broadcast on
VH1 on a later date. For the first time ever, the Hall
plans to raffle off a couple golden ceremony tickets,
allowing a few lucky bastards from the hoi polloi into
its inner sanctum. For the hook-up, Veruca Salt, you
should scope the hall's official webpage.
