Boss To Kiss Bono's Ass

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame reveals who will be toasting whom at this year's ceremony (3/14)...

Bruce Springsteen > U2
Justin Timberlake > O'Jays
B.B. King & Eric Clapton > Buddy Guy
Rod Stewart > Percy Sledge
Neil Young > The Pretenders

Bruce has made some memorable speeches before. Otherwise, looks like a boring evening. Hopefully Neil Young will get drunk and sport a mohawk Vedder-style.

Damn, I am sure that Buddy Guy is going to get overshadowed by fucking U2. That sucks

How do they decide who does the introduction/tribute to the inductees? I mean, how did Justin Timberlake get to be the person who presents the O'Jays? That would be like Avril Lavigne presenting the Sex Pistols.

I thought Mr.Young was very anti-hall of fame as was Ms.Hynde. I'm glad its him over Ashlee Simpson could you imagine that speech?! "Oh may gwad the Pretenders are like sooooo kwel and I'm modeling my career on Chrissie Hynde's, some people say I sound just like her"!

Is it true that Ashlee's doing a Pretenders cover in her concerts?

the boss should be awsome --bono inducting him a few years back was amazing. the two of them have good chemisty --i liked the story about bono saying hello to the boss in an elevator once but he ignored him --he was completely hammered and thought the door had opened and he walked right into it. ummm and could the boss get any hotter? he's still on my top 10 list.

Love the fact that Bruce is inducting U2. Both are excellent musicians and people. Buddy Guy, also very cool. Yeah rock and roll.
