Madonna Gets Into Rock Hall of Fame
The Material Girl is about to become a Hall of Famer. The ever-evolving Madonna was announced as a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee on Thursday along with John Mellencamp , The Ventures, Leonard Cohen and The Dave Clark Five.
“The 2008 inductees are trailblazers – all unique and influential in their genres,” Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation President and CEO Joel Peresman said in a statement. “From poetry to pop, these five acts demonstrate the rich diversity of rock and roll itself.”
To be eligible, artists must have issued a first single or album at least 25 years before nomination.
Of the nominations Madonna, Mellencamp, and Cohen are the only ones I’ve really ehard of. Cohen only because he wrote the them to The Sopranos. I actually met Mellencamp at a Las Vegas hotel quite a few years back, but I’ve always liked him. Great collection of music.
