Neil Diamond & Alice Cooper Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame



The ceremony falls right in the middle of Neil Diamond's Australian tour in March. Nothing is set yet, but Diamond hopes to re-shuffle some dates so he can make it. "I'll get in somehow," he says. "They are working on the details right now. I 'm very hopeful it'll work out because I don't want to miss this ... Any club that has Chuck Berry and Little Richard and The Everly Brothers is a club that I want to be a part of."

Neil Diamond, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, Says He Feels 'Very Lucky'

When Alice Cooper got the news he immediately called his former bandmates in the original Alice Cooper band. "I said 'Well, remember when we started in high school?" he says. "Here we are. It only took 45 years."

Alice Cooper, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, Was 'Elated' When He Got the News


Cooper plans on performing with the band, something he's only done a handful of times since they broke up in 1976. "We're trying to figure out if we do 'School's Out,' do we send balloons of confetti into the audience?" he says. "I doubt there'll be a snake there though...If you look at the list of past inductees it's all of my heroes, from Pete Townshend to The Yardbirds to The Beatles to The Stones. It's everybody that we listened to in order to become Alice Cooper, so it's pretty amazing that those are the same people that actually voted for us."

I've seen Neil Diamond
a few times with my
Mom and step-father
my Mom is a big fan
and
I saw Alice Cooper
a long time ago once
the summer I graduated
high school

I'm very happy for them!

LENNONYC - American Masters on PBS tonight



Archival footage, studio outtakes and remarks from Yoko Ono, photographer Bob Gruen, producer Jack Douglas and members of the Elephant's Memory band spice "LENNONYC," which chronicles John Lennon's life after moving from Britain to the Big Apple in 1971. It recalls the tempest he and Yoko Ono stirred in the early 1970s, his immigration battle to stay in the U.S., his "lost weekend" in L.A. and love for New York, his years raising son Sean, and his reemergence in 1980 with "Double Fantasy."

Lennon Naked on PBS tonight





Masterpiece Episode: "Lennon Naked"
Episode Synopsis: Christopher Eccleston is terrific in the title role of "Lennon Naked," which charts John Lennon's transition from moptop to rock icon in the late 1960s. It explores his relationship with his father (Christopher Fairbank), who abandoned him when he was 6 only to reenter his life in 1964; his failing relationship with first wife Cynthia; his relationship with Yoko; and his therapy with primal scream-originator Arthur Janov, which inspired his classic "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" 1970 album.

Alice Cooper for President



Salemslot9 Saturday Song

I saw Alice Cooper once
not long after I graduated high school

we've had enough
of all those
political commercials

I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice,
I wanna be elected,
I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce,
I wanna be elected,
Kids want a saviour, don't need a fake,
I wanna be elected,
We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make,
I wanna be elected, elected, elected.

I never lied to you, I've always been cool,
I wanna be elected,
I gotta get the vote, and I told you 'bout school,
I wanna be elected, elected, elected,
Hallelujah, I wanna be selected,
Everyone in the United States of America.

We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm,
We're gonna be elected,
You and me together, young and strong,
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected,
Respected, selected, call collected,
I wanna be elected, elected.

"And if I am elected
I promise the formation of a new party
A third party, the Wild Party!
I know we have problems,
We got problems right here in Central City,
We have problems on the North, South, East and West,
New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
Detroit, Chicago,
Everybody has problems,
And personally, I don't care."

Steely Dan - Reelin' in the Years - Live 1973 Midnight Special



Salemslot9 Saturday Song

I had the
chance to see
them years ago
but, didn't go

life's not over

yet

someone mentioned
Steely Dan
yesterday on
Coronation Street

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
Well you wouldn't even know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand

CHORUS:
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand

CHORUS

I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made to Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can't understand

CHORUS

Peter Frampton - PBS Soundstage - 08 - Black Hole Sun



Salemslot9 Saturday Song

wish it was louder
hook up the extra speakers

this would be a good song
for those who'll be watching
the solar eclipse tomorrow

my John and I saw Framptom perform
at the 'temporary' MGM Grand Casino
in Detroit a few years ago
they set up a huge tent outside
folding chairs
porta-potty
lol
it was cool seeing him so close
hot fun in the summertime
we each used mini fans
our Trish gave us
they were a life saver

I still have a poster of Frampton
that used to hang in my room
at my folks house
it's framed, now

you totally need tofu

well, I don't love tofu
but, I like it
I tried it for the first time last Monday
I heard it doesn't have any flavor by itself
it absorbs the flavors it's cooked with
we had a Chinese takeaway from Golden Chopsticks
I had hung shu tofu
my John had szechuan beef
also, ordered wonton soup
and chicken egg rolls
rice and fortune cookies included
do you like tofu?
