are you and Stevie on a first name basis or something?

10/30/2009 8:32:02 AM

i spend lots of quality time with Stevie via Songs in the Key of Life

10/30/2009 8:46:01 AM

from that list, I'm kinda furious that Metallica found its way in there.

10/30/2009 9:04:40 AM

apparently they're doing a song with Ozzy

we'll see how that turns out

10/30/2009 9:11:02 AM

oh, and Clapton had to back out because he's at home recouping from surgery

10/30/2009 9:14:04 AM

so you have a problem with Metallica being at a Rock 'N Roll HOF concert? Why they are in the HOF shouldn't they be allowed to perform? To me they have done more for rock music than Stevie Wonder who is more a soul/R&B singer.

10/31/2009 8:45:27 PM

more negative maybe.

10/31/2009 8:56:45 PM

^^ I agree, because R&B/soul has nothing to do with rock 'n' roll, except for that whole "being the foundation of the entire genre" thing.

10/31/2009 8:59:13 PM

so your saying just because you don't like Metallica or the Heavy Metal genre they shouldn't be allowed to perform.

Heavy Metal is a part of rock 'n roll.

I know the rock 'n roll genre is founded on the principles of R&B but it did diverge from that genre, don't get me wrong I think everybody on the bill deserves to be there, but people saying Metallica doesn't belong are nuts. They have been around since '81 and are still making music, not many Metal bands can say that.

but dont argue with vinyl. he knows EVERYTHING about music and your opinion, if different than his, is wrong

GREAT lead-off by Jerry Lee Lewis!

god, he's still got it

11/29/2009 8:07:19 PM

BTW, had a friend who went to the show. She said Simon & Garfunkel are by far the highlight.

11/29/2009 8:23:39 PM

GOD. I. LOVE. STEVIE. WONDER.

i changed it as soon as u2 came out. i already had to sit through metallica. bono is such an insufferable bitch.

11/29/2009 10:21:17 PM

FINALLY!!!

I swear on everything I hold dear, Bruce Springsteen is the greatest stage presence in music.

What she said.

When Art Garfunkel nailed the end of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that was breathtakingly good.

11/29/2009 11:21:49 PM

What an ending: the greatest song ever written, performed by my two favorite artists of all time. (though Billy Joel was clearly out of his element)

Whole thing was pretty good.

^ Yeah, that was a top 5 moment for me, for sure.
