Happy Wednesday! Hope you've enjoyed the snow! It made for a good excuse to toss Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" at the top of the Setlist, since we became the land of ice and snow today.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees for the Class of 22 were announced this morning. Another year, and Iron Maiden is not on the list. Every year, we scratch our head and ask "how can this be". But Dionne Warwick is nominated (eh hem... "rock and roll"?). So instead of moaning about it (much) we'll just add Maiden to the Setlist today.
One band that deserves to go in that did get nominated (again) is Rage Against The Machine. Tossed in "Guerilla Radio" today.
And sad news to wrap up the Setlist, Jon Zazula passed away yesterday at the age of 69. Johnny Z isn't a household name but he was a heavy metal visionary. Jon and his wife Marcia started Megaforce Records which was the label that took a chance on a new band from Northern California called Metallica and put out their first two albums.
The band has posted all kinds of thoughts and memorials on their socials today.
R.I.P. Jon.
