Last night at the Waldorf-Astoria, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame conducted their 27th annual induction ceremony, honoring musicians Tom Waits, Alice Cooper, Neil Diamond, Dr. John and Darlene Love; non-performers Jac Holzman and Art Rupe; and "sideman" Leon Russell. The ceremony will be aired on Sunday at 9 p.m. on Fuse, with performances by the inductees and everyone from Bette Midler to Bruce Springsteen to John Mayer. Of course where there's music there's fashion; when asked where he got the flashy shoes to go along with his purple suit, Dr. John responded, "The pimp store."
Alice Cooper, who performed in a shirt splattered with fake blood, said of his band, "We've always been a hard-rock band. We just wanted to decorate it a little differently." Numerous combinations of musicians teamed up for performances, including Cooper and Diamond taking the stage together, but we can't wait to catch Tom Waits and Neil Young playing "Get Behind the Mule."
