2018 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction preview

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2018 - Song selection picks

thoughts are with Huey Lewis - cancelled all future tour dates due to hearing issues

Place listening - Amarillo, TX / Nudgee Australia  / Sao Paulo Brasil / Petaling Jaya Malaysia

Nations of Hungary and Jamaica checked in this week as well. 

What songs will 2018 Rock Hall of Fame inductees play during the ceremony - and who is the best person/ artist to induct them??? 

likely 3 or 4 songs make the televised ceremony on HBO

Bon Jovi: Inductor (Emilio Estevez of Young Guns 2 fame), one of the captain’s from Deadliest Catch (theme song is Dead of Alive), Bill Belicheck? Bruce Springsteen (especially if Richie Sambora skips the ceremony, cuz Springsteen will play with them)

"Livin’ on a Prayer" 100% lock // "It’s my Life" aka Prayer part two // “Dead or Alive” // “Who says you can’t go home” (I’d rather hear Blaze of Glory, Bad Medicine, or You give love a bad name). Dark Horse is “Bed of Roses” — Please to play “I’ll be there for you” and don’t play “Have a Nice Day”. If they want to play New England Patriots TD song “this is our house” i will allow it.

The Cars: Inductor - please don’t be Steven Tyler or Marky Mark. Dark Horse Inductor — Dicky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I think the LCD Sound System Guy, James Murphy will induct them. more on that at the end of my take. 

Just What I Needed

My Best Friend’s Girl

Good Times Roll

You’re all I’ve got tonight

Moving in Stereo — the Phoebe Cates pool scene song from Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Shake it Up

Magic

Drive 

Let’s Go 

The Song “Blue Tip” off of Move like This album is basically the LCD Soundsystem  Starter kit song - it’s good

The Moody Blues - again no clue who will induct them

Tuesday Afternoon

Nights in White Satin

I’m just a Singer (in a Rock N Roll Band) 

Your Wildest Dreams - their 80’s hit 

Question

“I know you’re out there somewhere” - their other 80’ hit has a slim shot 

“The Voice” has a shot

"The Story in your eyes" is a decent jam- good riff, great harmonies  

“english Sunset” is pretty interesting and decent too

Dire Straits:  These dudes are the kings of the 7 minute slow song - almost narrows their choices down to like 5 of their songs. 

I have No clue on who will induct them

Sultans of Swing 

Money for Nothing 

Romeo and Juliet

So Far Away 

Walk of Life 

They have a song entitled “Calling Elvis” which is kind of cool, but again 6:33 long and never heard it until my research for this podcast

Hot Take — i don’t think Dire Straits should get in. This is why LL Cool J was a better choice. If you won’t perform and you’re still alive - that’s messed up

Nina Simone - if Lauryn Hill is in singing shape — she better be involved in this tribute — Since Nina is no longer with us, this has a chance to be a fantastic medley of singer songstress all-stars 

Alicia Keys will likely be involved // honestly Adele might be a great fit here

"Feeling Good" is a no-brainer - such a Classic jam - great horns — great song 

“Sinnerman” 10:22 live version from NYC in 1965 is still very well known

“Baltimore” — super funky song — i think it’s a potential song they’d play

"I wish i Knew how it would feel to be free"

She has a song called “Mississippi Goddamn” — i think it will resonate with the times 

“to be young, gifted and black” - so many of her songs are incredibly appropriate for our time and space here in 2018 

“I put a Spell on you” - strong candidate

Nina does a nice over of “Here comes the sun” by the Beatles  

Sister Rosetta Tharpe  - they better get Eddie Van Halen to induct her - cuz this lady did things with the guitar that were so ahead of her time, it’s not even funny

“That’s all” - her guitar work os like Early Johnny B Goode 

“Sit Down” - catchy pop song - great acoustic guitar work 

“Shout, Sister, Shout!” - also catchy, got some sass to it

“Nobody’s fault but mine” - Did Led Zeppelin cover this?!?!?!?! - they did but modified lyrics. Written in 1927 by Blind Willie Johnson  

“Jericho” - great 2 min diddy 

Roseanne is back, Rant of the month & props to Van Halen

Places listening Tokyo Japan #1 city listening last week and Japan was #2 as a nation to the United States

Kansas City , Tatabanya Hungary and Lima Peru get props as well

Ain’t talkin’ bout love is Van Halen’s best overall song - it’s their most Van Halen-Esque song. 

It hits everything those guys are great at and none of the stuff they’re not.

Vince Carter- left school early. Played at UNC 3 season, made the Final Four twice.  Finished degree & Walked at graduation during the playoffs a few years later

Here’s my beef. People gripe that these guys don’t go to school, but they also gripe that he chose to walk for graduation during playoffs. 

And you can question his focus in that moment… But he’s played in the league for like 20 years. He’s reinvented his game twice. 

You can’t question his love and drive to play hoops and make money. 

Vince Carter has had the last laugh - he’s 40 years old, playing in the NBA 

8x All-star 2x all nba rookie of the year and greatest slam dunk champ ever - certainly top 3. Was picked #5 in the 98 draft 

Played for 7 NBA teams // won Gold Medal at 2000 olympics  

#11 all-time in career earning with over $167 million in salary 

Only 7 guys have played 20+ seasons in nba. Only Kobe and Vince were wings - and Kobe came out of high school - Vince went to UNC for a couple years 

Robert parish 21 seasons most all time

Kareem, Dirk, Kevin Garnett, Kevin Willis

Tom Brady’s injured hand — how much stock do you put into it?

Who you picking for Eagles - Vikings game? 

If Crystal Palace wins London Derby over Arsenal this weekend, i’m elevating CP over the Gunners in my heart and the only way Arsenal gets it back is to win the Europa League

top Nations listening - United Kingdom, France, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Hungary, Canada, Spain, South Africa and Australia

Wearing a Hawaiian shirt — for good Karma - it’s been cold in the east, we’re supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow in charlotte - which will shut Charlotte down… they’ve literally already cancelled school.

So i’m in New York walking around and it’s raining — more like misting, and a lady is walking her dog. The dog has like 4 little boots on it’s feet. like aqua socks but for a dog.

If you have time to put “water shoes” on your dog to go out in the rain for a walk- you’ve got too much time on your hands (not snow & ice, rain! Not extremely hot blacktop, rain)? Dogs descended from wolves. Wolves don’t wear shoes ever - dogs will be ok in the rain. 

And if you’re worried about our dogs feet messing up your house- maybe you’re not a dog person

You know how airports have the bag sizing apparatus- so they can nix certain bags from carry on? They should have one for passengers - and ban certain people from sitting in the middle seats in coach

Cosby Show remake — like the Roseanne remake — No Cliff Huxtable, but Claire and all the kids are in the show. And don’t call it the Cosby show, and don’t have Bill Cosby in the show. Call it the Huxtables. People would watch that.

Wine, Wall & Dragons - Season 6, Episode 10 finale show notes

Game of Thrones week 10 notes ( Wine, Wall & Dragons))

 

Places listening - Japan is 2nd place (Cousin is on vacation there but props nonetheless), Mexico in 3rd, UK and Germany tied for 4th. New places Gambia, Indonesia and Hungary

 

Top cities listening - Philadelphia, Tokyo, Anchorage, AK, Walpole — can’t really explain who’s listening in Alaksa, but I hope you’re “on the crab”

 

GV predictions - NIght’s king penetrates wall, Varys kills Kevan lannister, Bran wargs a msg to Jon or Sansa, Brienne dies

 

DOB’s predictions - Night’s king gets to walls, Cersei blows up kings landing, Catlyn stark appears, Walder Frey dies.

 

can believe it’s week 10 — KIng’s landing - Cersei awaits trial in the sept 

Tommen, Margery, the whole gang is getting dressed for the “trial of the century” - I haye TOmmen’s face

 

Lords appears to be a broken man- Margery seems to have an understanding with the High Sparrow - Cersei seems to be dressed in an homage to Prince. Paecelle still hitting the ladies of the evening 

 

Loras’s trial — he confesses in 3 seconds… to everything. Decides to go “Full born again mode”. Abandons the Tyrell name and Highgarden. Takes a life of celibacy. Tattooing dudes’ heads. Something tells me that Cersei ain’t going out like that. 

 

On cue the mountain pays Tommen a visit - DOB’s firewater prediction — seems to be gaining steam. Lancel Lannister is “Hip to the sabotage” 

 

Kyburn has a little kids butcher Pycelle - Didn’t see him winning our sweepstakes — but he just did 

 

Lancel stabbed by a kid too - Child Soldiers — hitting dudes left and right 

 

Not sure how i feel about CErsei’s move here ( do i root for her or not) — Margery essentially pulls the fire alarm — Sparrow = hubris 

 

HOLY COW that stuff is explosive - Cersei drinks wine an gloats — damn! Tommen - speechless - 

 

Cersei even settles score with that lady septon. Ice COLD. She is the coldest lady in all the realm — and she’s planning to go all ramsay bolton on her 

 

Ser Gregor took off the mast. Tough look 

 

The Tyrell’s besides Olyanna are all dead

 

Tommen just committed Suicide?!?!!?!?!?!?!? Stannis dead? WHO IS KING??? As usual Cersei is winning the battle and losing the war. Son is dead, prophecy is fulfilled.

 

Frey and Lannisters — at a banquet - Bronn is awesome - Jamie is awesome. Jamie and Frey ( Edmure is alive foreshadowing) - Jamie is calling out Frey a bit — and now he’s calling him out big time - gonna be interesting. 

 

Sam and Gilly are back — Looks like Old town - home of MIT the Maester Institute of technology - Sam is at the registrar. Registrar is DB - just like in real life. Gilly is looking good - i’m just saying. Sam needs to visit the Archmaester - pretty baller library - Makes hogwarts look like a preschool. 

 

Up north - Jon Snow / melissandre talking old school. Davos seems pretty hot and bothered about Shireen getting burned (as predicted). Melissandre lobbies to stay alive — Jon sends her south — seems like that’s a bad idea. Davos puts my green onions idea to bed. Not gonna happen 

 

Sansa shows up — seems pretty cunning and hip to Little Finger. IT’s winter time and Jon and Sansa share the irony of “winter is coming” 

 

Dorne - and Lady Olynna is in Dorne - Varys is in Dorne too — that’s super interesting (He can’t kill Kevan Lannister, cuz uncle Kev burned alive)

 

Daneryous and Daarhio Naharas — are breaking up — He’s groveling like the sell sword he is. Bay of Dragons is the new name of Slaver’s Bay. 

 

Tyrion - drinking wine (like Lannisters do) - talks with Dany — he gives her a bit of a pep talk - Tyrion is the “hand of the Queen” — boom!!! Two time hand on two continents, that’s a record! 

 

Walder Frey - drinking, eating and talking dirty for serving girls — ohhh boy — the girl cooked Frey’s sons Arya stark — YES!!!!!! That was awesome. Ice cold again. 

 

Sansa and Little Finger in the Weirwood - Little finger talks about being the King of Westeros —

 

Bran and Meera are getting dropped off by Benjen — so he’s essentially dead — but a force for good 

 

Bran - logs on line to the weir wold web - Tower of Joy - Young ned stark - Lyanna Stark — she spills the beans on Jon Stark’s lineage. BOOM!!! 

 

Jon spills the beans on the NIght’s King - Lyanna Mormont calls playas out. Manderly is in. Glover is in. They are naming Jon Snow the king in the north. Little Finger is NOT IMPRESSED. Sansa and Little finger exchange a glance 

 

Jamie Lannister arrives back in King’s landing — Cersei is about to do something bad ass that’s apparent — ahhhh she just Sat on the Iron Throne — First female Queen — Mic Drop — didn’t see that coming at all — So maybe she just won the long game 

 

Jamie looks HEATED!!!

 

Theon and Yara are sailing with Grey Worm an the Whole Crew of Dangerous’s Army and Navy- VARYS is on the BOAT!!!!! IS that a slip — or did they swing by and grab him in Dorne
