Rock Hall Ceremony Announcements, Oh My!

More info has been revealed about the 2007 Rock Hall Induction Ceremony, which of course will not be held in Cleveland where the Rock Hall is, but in New York. Let’s blow another chance to actually get people to come to here. Anyway, the inductees, Van Halen, REM, Patti Smith, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and The Ronettes have already been announced, but now we get word on just who will be introducing each of the artists. Jay-Z tops the wow scale with Eddie Vedder and Keith Richards not far behind and Zach De La Rocha and Velvet Revolver grabbing the “WTF” slot at the bottom. Does anyone even care?

Jesus Indicted on Stalking Charges

Not that Jesus! Damn you people are gullible. Lorain police officer (these guys just keep racking up the points) Jesus Sanchez was indicted on charges of forcibly kissing, making threatening phone calls, and pulling over the victim 15 to 20 times for no reason. And just what did this fabulous example of a gentleman have to say about the situation? According to The Plain Dealer, “Sanchez claimed in an affidavit that other officers had lured women to have sex with them and had stalked women. They were never disciplined, he said, and considered their actions a perk of the badge.” These are the kind of things that make me feel safer on the streets at night.

A Little More Scandal Never Hurt Anyone

Scene gives the low down on Fred Nance, a Cleveland lawyer who ranked at the top of Inside Business magazine’s “Power 100″ list. Looks like Fred ain’t exactly the perfect citizen, with much of his money coming from former mayor Mike White, including a big fat check for being legal advisor for the construction of Browns Stadium. Not exactly something most people would want on a resume. Get some more dirt.
