No doubt for Metallica

Well, thank God the alleged "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame got something right. Metallica is in. (Of course, it was their second year of eligibility but they were bumped for the R&R powerhouse "Madonna".

Also inducted this year were Run DMC (got no problem with them in since they really crossed over) and Little Anthony and the Imperials and Wanda Jackson. Quick, name ANY song from either of the last two I mentioned ... I'm waiting ... Can't do it. Why? Because they are not worthy. Meanwhile Kiss, Rush, Genesis, Yes and a hell of a bunch of other deserving bands are out in the cold.

Sidenote: Last week we saw Doubt at the Kress. Love this theater and I was giddy that it was packed which means people are starting to notice it's there. The movie is filled with great acting. I thought the last half was a little choppy. It just didn't flow as well as the first part. A good movie, but not great.

Slumdog is still the one to beat, in my mind.
