Lou Reed, Justin Timberlake & Tom Hanks To Help Rock 'N' Roll Congratulate Itself
Good news, gang: now the list of people you didn't give a shit about getting into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame has a slightly less give-a-shittable list of people inducting them! Madonna will be honored by the legendary Mickey Mousekateer/actress/box-fucker Justin Timberlake; the Dave Clark Five will be inducted by iconic rock expert Tom Hanks; John Mellencamp will receive his due from Shea Stadium's very own Billy Joel; and Leonard Cohen will receive his honors from Lou Reed (ok, that's cool). Also don't forget Jerry Butler inducting Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff (but really, how could you?), the Ventures getting made by John Fogerty, and Little Walter getting done by Ben Harper (who, in his defense, isn't Jack Johnson). You can't plan for this kind of excitement, although apparently the R&RHOF did, and they have it set up as always at the Waldorf-Astoria this March 10th. So far the performer list includes only John Mellencamp and the Ventures, but brace yourself for a montage-and-superjam sorta night.
