A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

ADULT ENTERTAINER, CHILD EDUCATOR, AND THE KING OF THE CROSS-FADER: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will induct this year Metallica, Run-DMC, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Bobby Womack and Jeff Beck (the Mark Langston of the RRHoF) with Wanda Jackson entering as an early influencer. Missing the cut among the finalists were Chic, Iggy and the Stooges, and War. Says DMC:

I'm a rap dude, I'm an MC from Hollis, just rockin' the mic, and to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with the Beatles, and (Bob) Dylan, and the rock 'n' roll gods? It's ridiculous! Ridiculous in a good way.

[I recognize that I still haven't done the Keltner analysis on Run-DMC, but, seriously, is this a question? Once you determine that rappers are eligible for the Hall, Run-DMC is inner sanctum first ballot.]
