Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees

 

 

             Tonight as I was scrolling through the channels I came across the ceremony to induct the rock and roll artists into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Tonight the inductees include KISS, Nirvana, Hall and Oates, E Street Band, Cat Stevens, and many more.

         

             Watching the show made me both wonder, and realize many things. The first thing I discovered is that the KISS members are looking rough without heir infamous stage makeup. Another thing about KISS is that I was surprised at how long it took for them to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, because they are such a known band especially for their crazy makeup, and stage performances. Even though I don't know all their songs word for word I know who they are, and could carry a tune of one of their songs. I also know a couple of their names such as of course Gene Simmons (because I used to watch his reality show), and Ace (I don't know why I remember his name, but it just stuck.) I'm not the only one who feels this way many other people have wondered why it took so long for KISS to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but even though it took a while they finally are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and 100% deserve it.

 

             Another couple of things that I discovered were about the hit band Nirvana. The first thing although it's not that important is that Dave Grohl drummer for the Foo Fighters was a member of Nirvana as well. This made me wonder, because I'm not a know-it-all when it comes to rock and roll can a person be elected into the hall of fame more than once? Another observation was that since Kurt Cobaine was not there, because he passed away they had other singers perform their songs. This included Lorde, and others. Although I like Lorde I did not agree that they should've had other singers sing Nirvana. I believe this, because since being inducted is such a big deal, and many people watching are fans they know Nirvana for the way they were when Kurt Cobaine singing. By having other people sing Nirvana's songs it kind of ruins the way people remember Nirvana.

 

            While watching this I began to wonder, Why is music such a big deal to our culture? I believe it is, because music makes us feel something. It makes us feel happy, sad, or angry all by words collected together put with a powerful melody. Not only that, but we are able to relate to the songs based on things we're going through in our lives. Regardless of what's going on in our hectic lives many of us turn to music to relate, and I think this will continue in generations to come as music styles, and famous singers change, but the impact it has on us won't.
