Andy Schwartz, long associated with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, takes a close look at this past Monday's induction ceremony. Above, that's him with the Stooges' James Williamson. As Andy says in his photo caption, James is oddly enlarged. That's a good way to put it. Below, Iggy Pop makes his acceptance speech.
"On Monday, March 15, I attended the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. This was hailed as “the 25th anniversary” although the first induction dinner was held in 1986. I did not attend that inaugural event but have attended the majority of inductions since 1987 including events held in Los Angeles (1993) and Cleveland (2009). I’ve never paid for a ticket — a tablemate told me the price was three grand apiece this year — but rather have earned admittance either through the largesse of my former record company employer or (more often) as an editorial contributor to the program book distributed to all attendees."
