I was invited by the wonderful publicists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to attend the induction ceremony. I was only able to secure one press pass as it will be flooded with media. Sadly Pennie Layne and Tanya Anselmo will not be able to assist me. I will have to take all the pictures and report all by my lonesome. I was one of the very few who received a spot.

Janell was humble and positive, Ashley Rodriguez seemed in shell shock but professional, Jose Munoz was aphetic, and Tyler combative and sticking to his guns.
