for Beyonce's leotards... I don't get it. But hey one of my favorite groups, The Moody Blues who were founded in 1964 and is still touring, is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I never knew he was there and the article says he was placed there 12 years ago, but to remove him now... ????

 

(CNN) -- Alan Freed, the DJ credited with coining the term "rock 'n' roll," will be physically removed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Monday. 

 

An urn with Freed's ashes was taken from its spot at the Cleveland museum on Friday, and Freed's son will pick up his father's remains Monday, according to Executive Director Greg Harris.

 

Lance Freed told CNN that the museum was being "disrespectful" to his father's legacy as a pioneer of rock 'n' roll, but Harris said Freed will continue to be "very prominent" in the hall.

 

Harris disputed the Freed family's description of the removal as an eviction, but according to the son, it is not a voluntary removal.

Cleveland can't do anything right...

The HoF is the biggest disappointment. There are just as neat, if not better items in Hard Rock Cafes.

Couldn't they just inflate Beyonce's leotards like a giant hot air balloon and then have a display with Freed's ashes underneath?

 

 

Ya, I said it.


¡Hasta la vista, pelota!
