Dissect Your Idols: The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2007
By Mr. Moderator on Mar 12, 2007
All week on Rock Town Hall we will be dissecting the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2007. By the end of the week, you won't be able to resist trying to engage non-rock nerd coworkers in passionate discussions of the merits of The Ronettes' selection or the gross oversight of the RnRHoF in bypassing a band like The Stooges or Roxy Music.
Along with daily posts on the inductees and Your Comments (remember to Register, if you haven't done so yet), we hope to get some Hot Live Blogging Action going. Tonight, Monday, March 12, at 8:30 pm EST, VH1 Classic will be broadcasting the event live. If you're near the tube and your computer, we encourage you log on and get in on the live blogging. On Saturday, March 17, and numerous times in the days that follow, the standard VH1 will rebroadcast the induction ceremonies. We'll encourage continued Hot Live Blogging Action. It doesn't matter that the show's no longer live as long as you are.

For tonight's Hot Live Bloggers, Townsman BigSteve has kicked off the following list of likely occurences to track during the broadcast. Let's add to this in time for tonight's initial broadcast:
- Embarrassing baldness camouflage, be it hats, weaves, or dye jobs
- The airing of grievances, like Frank Infante's "Why am I no longer in Blondie?" cringefest last year.
- How will Van Halen deal with the "our guitarist/leader just entered rehab rather than deal with warring frontmen" problem?
- We can also play "Spot the greatest age difference between rocker and wife" both onstage and in the audience.
- When it's over we can discuss high points and low points. What made you squirm the most? What, if anything, in this celebration made you proud that you love rock and roll?
- For the rebroadcast: Bit most likely to be edited from the original broadcast.
