Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

There's some star power again this year. From the RAMP Newsletter...

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced most of the presenters and performers for the 30th Annual Induction Ceremony, which is scheduled for April 18 at Cleveland's Public Hall -- all part of Cleveland Rock Week -- the event will be heavy on star power, not the least of which will be the appearance of both surviving Beatles, as Sir Paul McCartney has graciously agreed to induct Ringo Starr. McCartney did the same for John Lennon in 1994. Stevie Wonder will induct Bill Withers; Patti Smith will induct the late Lou Reed; Peter Wolf will induct The Paul Butterfield Blues Band; Fall Out Boy will induct Green Day; John Mayer will induct the late Stevie Ray Vaughan and Steve Cropper will induct the "5" Royales. Joan Jett's inductor is still TBA.
The list of performers announced so far include Beck, Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh, Tom Morello, John Legend, Stevie Ray's big brother Jimmie Vaughan and more TBA!
