Tuesday’s Overflow

I just finished watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, and oh my, what a train wreck. The only salvageable parts were REM’s performance and the footage from past ceremonies. Once Velvet Revolver was signed up to play Van Halen songs, I knew we in trouble. Here’s some more trouble, a Tuesday link dump:

• Past Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony lowlights
• Jeff Tweedy doesn’t really care that Sky Blue Sky was leaked 
• Much of Grateful Dead roadie Ram Rod‘s accumulated gear is going up for auction on the 30th anniversary of 5/8/77
• A review of the Los Lobos and Taj Mahal co-headlining tour
• Better late than never: LiveBonnaroo releases from The Neville Brothers, Blackalicious, and Buddy Guy
• One of my favs, Jeff Pevar, has hooked up with a new band
• Gene Simmons discusses his issues with hiphop
• Bill Berry has rejoined his REM bandmates to record #9 Dream for the upcoming Lennon tribute album
• Bob Said No
• Tempted by a Squeeze reunion tour
• I have no idea what this Portuguese website says, but you should just click “link” for some tasty live Rolling Stones mp3s
• SuperDee’s posted some Langerado pics of her own

We’ll end with a query: Which band do you think the next great group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be?
