Rock Hall of Fame Concerts

Concerts are being planned to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the usual array of well known artists (Springsteen, U2, Clapton, Franklin, Wonder, Metallica, Simon and Garfunkle, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and others).  One problem that we see… the event is not even going to be held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.  Its in New York. 

I know, they are going to celebrate the anniversary of something and not even go to the place to do it.  Sound a little silly to anyone else?

Of course, this is not surprising as few of the induction ceremonies are held at the actual Hall of Fame.  It is a strange realization that they build the Hall of Fame near the origins of Rock and Roll and then avoid it.

But then… when was the last time that the RIAA and the Board of Directors of the Hall made a decision that made sense?  Remember this is an industry that made it a habit to sue their own fans.
