From the December 17, 2014, Chicago Tribune "Rock Hall class includes Jett, Withers, Reed."
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Green Day, Bill Withers, Lou reed, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band will make up the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of "15.
Ringo Starr will be honored with the Award of Excellence (he was also inducted with the Beatles in April). Personally, I think he should be inducted on his own as he certainly had some great songs after the Beatles broke up, plus his All-Star bands he tours with all these years.
The North Carolina R&B "5" Royales will be honored with the Early Influence Award. They combined gospel, doo-wop and jump blues in their music and were a big part of Beach Music.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
