Madonna To Be Inducted Into Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Now I find the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame to be rather interesting. Unlike all other Halls of Fame (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, etc. etc.), you can still be “active” when becoming a member of the Music Hall Of Fame. Baseball greats like Nolan Ryan and Cal Ripken and NFL greats like John Elway, Dan Marino, and Joe Montana all retired before being inducted. But you don’t have to retire as a musician to become a member of the Rock And Roll Hall. You can still be actively producing new albums and touring. I suppose its more an honor of the work you’ve already done as part of an illustrious career, but for me, it doesn’t have the same meaning as a ballplayer having a long, fruitful career and then hanging them up and waiting the alloted time frame before becoming a hall member. Regardless, congrats to Madonna and all of this years other inductees.
