While the annual Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is always an affair to remember, this year’s inductees represented more than just exceptional players with longevity – it represented people who took music and the music industry to new heights. A producer (and talented musician) who constantly redefined the limits of what could be achieved on an album – Quincy Jones, a musician whose well-crafted original tunes help movies achieve new emotional heights – Randy Newman, and a promoter/manager whose outside the box thinking gave birth to not only artists and his venue, but life to an entire scene/community – Lou Adler.
Although High Voltage couldn’t attend the induction ceremony itself, we were able to stop by the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter “Breakfast After Dark” gift lounge and congratulate some of the inductees who were enjoying gifts from New Balance, Murad Skincare, Ultimate Ears and more.
