BREAKING NEWS: Alice Cooper, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Darlene Love, and Tom Waits make the Hall of Fame but Bon Jovi didn’t!!!

Well, the inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been revealed for 2011. The inductees for this year will be: Alice Cooper, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Darlene Love, and Tom Waits. You would think that Bon Jovi would have made it in, no matter what, but you thought wrong. I even thought Bon Jovi was going to get it, but surprisingly he didn’t. I’m willing to bet all the Bon Jovi fans are pissed off and upset. I think Bon Jovi is overrated. His music doesn’t interest me, so I’m glad he didn’t get inducted this year. If Bon Jovi did, he would have overshadowed this year’s inductees.

This year is going to be an interesting jam session. Alice, Neil, Dr. John, Darlene and Tom will all jam together at the end of the show? Probably. This year is a decent year for the Hall of Fame. I like this year’s selections, definitely MUCH better than last year. Finally! A year with true rock n’ roll!

The Associated Press, reports.

Bon Jovi will probably get it in 2012.

Report: Sean Rowe gets signed to Anti Records!!!

A big announcement was made in the Capital District of local music today. What is that announcement? Local Capital District, singer/songwriter, Sean Rowe, has been signed to Anti Records. He’s now on the same label with other famous acts such as Tom Waits, Neko Case, Booker T, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Beth Orton, and more. Keep in mind, that Anti Records is a pretty big label, this label became well known when Tom Waits won a grammy for his album, “Mule Variations”.

Read more on the story, here.

I’ve admired Sean’s music for a long time. Will he ever be big & famous someday? I think he’ll get there, and him getting on this label is the right direction for him to get there. Congrats to Sean. “Magic” is my favorite local album. I’m always listening to that album on my Ipod, all the time, it’s an addicting album to listen to. That album means a lot to me and it’s very inspiring. I think he’ll go very far. Maybe we’ll start seeing him perform on national TV. I have a feeling Sean will no longer be local. He’s a talented songwriter and the best in the area.

For those who haven’t heard him, check out these videos.
