This was posted in the Linda Ronstadt thread but I just got an alert & thought I would post it here with the link in case anybody missed it. Linda is finally going to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Glenn will be doing the speech for her. Sadly she said she is not well enough to be there. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...#axzz2xdcEOcno
I just noticed that my av has been replaced with one of Randy. :hilarious: Is Soda up to her old tricks?
ETA: Now it's Joe. Too funny! (And clever)!
Apparently Glenn is not performing. :-(
Just got an alert & checked on TicketMaster out of curiosity. There are still some tickets left-$576 each.
Yep - April Fool's! lol!Quote:

Is anybody thinking of going?
There are much cheaper tickets on stubhub.com (weirdly).

If it was on a weekend I would definitely consider it. I would love to go but since it is a Thursday .....:-(
I need to see what avatar I have. ETA: I don't mind that one actually. ETA2: Oh I see, they are rotating! The first one that came up for me was Don's Bullshit shirt & now I have a photo of Glenn I've never liked much! Well done Soda!
I am absolutely delighted about this. Don induced Jackson Browne & Randy Newman so it is high time Glenn did one. I wonder if he will mention that Linda was also an inspiration for him when he made After Hours? I didn't really expect him to perform (although he could have sung Desperado). I hope there will be lots of photos. I will be using my HOF avatar next week!
When I read FP's post early this morning, I was thinking that I'd go if at all possible, then talked with Soda and realized it's next Thursday! I can't miss that much time at work, and then later today, we got one of our 'expected' RFP's and it has a very short turnaround time. I'm not even sure I can go to PA to see my family for Easter! I say 'expected' because everyone believed our current contract would be extended and it wouldn't come out for another couple of months. I will be lucky to find time to visit this board between next week and Memorial Day...
My friend got tickets for $95.00. there was a pre-sale for members. I'm really not sure where the seats are. Can't wait to go!!
LOL!! Very clever with the av!! :hilarious:
Have fun! I can't wait to hear all about it! :partytime:Quote:

Also looking forward to Michael Stipe and Bruce Springsteen. Bruce's HOF induction speeches for both Jackson Browne and U2 were funny, insightful, and full of admiration.
It will be a fun night!
I cannot wait to watch, this woman deserves it! She was out there with all the boys doin her own thing and making waves. Way to go Linda!! Still a super star in my book.
I'm glad Glenn was asked to induct Linda. When we first heard Linda was going to be inducted in the HOF, I said either Glenn, Don or Jackson might induct her and we were right.
Too bad I don't have HBO. I will probably catch it on YouTube. I was very lucky to see Don last year on HBO later in the year when HBO had that free weekend special and it came on.
I don't get HBO either & it's possible thathey wouldn't show it on HBO Canada anyway. I'll have to look for it on YouTube too.
Darn, I don't get HBO either. Hopefully something will pop up for us that don't.
The R&R HOF actually has their own YouTube channel where you can watch lots of old induction speeches. Not sure how long it takes them to put them up, but there's some great stuff out there from previous ceremonies!Quote:

Oh man! I'd love to be there next week, but I don't think it's doable. As I posted in another thread, I broke my shoulder and am already behind at work. I don't know if I can miss any more time or not. I'm gonna do some research though!
I know this is crazy but...
I am going!!!!
Any folks in the area who'd like to meet up for dinner or something, PM me.
Yay, Soda!!!!!:yay::yay::yay:
Oh, wow. Have a good time. :shock: If you see him, say hello, or something.Quote:

:yay: for you, Nanc! As I said, I'm thinking about going, but between my fractured shoulder and work schedule, it's probably not going to happen. Still haven't definitely ruled it out though.
It would be great to have you along, Dreamer! I've decided to stay in NYC Friday as well. It would be fun to have someone to sight-see with!
Brilliant Nancy! I'm sure you will have a wonderful time. Would love to join you but as it's midweek it's a non starter. But let us all know how it goes.Quote:

I'm so happy that you made that decision Soda! This is such a unique opportunity and if there was any way possible that I could do it, I would be right there with you seeing Glenn AND Stevie! Have a fabulous time!! Can't wait to hear ALL about it! :headbang:
This is awesome, Soda! You rock! :thumbsup:
In honor of tomorrow night's induction. Here is a very recent interview that Yahoo did with Linda. They do talk about the ceremony and if she spoke with Glenn about his speech.

Thank for the link, ES.
thank you . I love the article
Thank you ES! Good read!
I'm here ! Due to major delays I've only just now arrived. My Internet time over the next few days is obviously going to be limited, but I'll try to check in as soon as I can after the show!
Soda - reminder - 150 Columbus Ave., Upper West Side - Timothy's building! Looks like there's a book store on the ground floor - hang out, maybe you'll get a sighting!
This article about the building came across my Google Alerts today, mentions TBS - http://nypost.com/2014/04/09/sought-...agged-for-16m/
Wow, that was a long one! Good one though!
The only thing, she doesn't really care at all about getting in and that is nearly a slam to the whole RRHOF and all the artists that are in it, to me. The way she talks about it.....:shrug: I think if she really felt that way it would be better to just not say anything about it....
Great article on Ronstadt. I like her candor. Atleast she doesn't blow smoke like a lot of famous people do.
Soda: Way to go. I hope you have a great time!
mary very interesting article.Quote:

Here is a detailed live blog from the show - I think you may want to go to the first page and start from the beginning?

He sang backup with the women during Linda's tribute. Still don't know what he said. This is all I have been able to find; there were photos of other people's speeches (Chris Martin) but not Glenn's. Very pleased that Art Garfunkel inducted Yusuf.
