I am a day late with this post, due to my recovery from one of the coolest weekends that I've had in Cleveland EVER!!
Back in the early 90's when Cleveland won the rights to the Rock Hall, people across the country were shocked and appalled by the decision. They felt that the museum would be better served in New York or Los Angeles. In 1997, there was the first induction ceremony here in Cleveland. Personally, I don't remember anything about it, except maybe Michael Jackson came? I could be wrong.
Fast forward to 12 years later and Cleveland proved why we rock. From free concerts to special events citywide, my city (that's right it is MY city) showed our visitors a good rocking time! To top it all off was the Induction Ceremony! I personally feel it was not too over done and just the right amount of glam. I shrugged off being ignored by the paparazzi during my red carpet stroll, to enjoy cocktails with all the fabulous people. Then to dinner and the start of the show.
In my opinion,get rid of that every 3 year deal and let Cleveland have the induction ceremony here every year! Cheers to all the wonderful vendors and companies who came to together to put on such a wonderful event!
Cleveland ROCKS!
