"Chuck Berry & Rock Hall: Cleveland Institution Will Honor Legend In October

NEW YORK -- One of rock's pioneers will be celebrated by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this fall.
Chuck Berry will be honored by the hall as part of its American Music Masters series.
Berry was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. In October, the icon will be the subject of a week-long celebration by the hall and Case Western Reserve University. It kicks off Oct. 22 and ends with an all-star tribute concert on Oct 27. Performers have yet to be announced, though Berry is set to take the stage.
In a statement released Tuesday, 82-year-old Berry said he is "looking forward to reelin' and rockin' in Cleveland."
Past honorees include Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin and Woody Guthrie."



I wonder if Keith will be there?

Yeah, wish I was in Cleveland for that. Give the guy his props!

As far as I can tell, Chuck, Keith and Dave Edmunds are the only ones who matter.

yeah!!

In 1977 the Voyager spacecraft was launched into space with an information disc about life on Earth. Contained on the disc was music that included Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode. We just received the first communication from intelligent life in the cosmos! The message: "Send more Chuck Berry!" (old joke)

... more worthy musically of praise than Amy, but then, she didn't prey on kids.
She only harmed herself and the people around her.
