The 22nd Annual Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony, The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, March 12, 2007

Another long night in the press room for the 22nd Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. This year, almost every inductee and presenter was present in the press room.
Inductees this year were REM, Patti Smith, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, The Ronettes (with Ronnie Spector) and Van Halen. The only 2 members of Van Halen to be on hand were Michael Anthony (bass player) and Sammy Hagar who was so personable and absolutely thrilled to be a part of this wonderful night, thanking the Hall of Fame for letting him be a part of it (saying they didn't have to). Unfortunately, Eddie Van Halen is back in rehab and didn't appear to thank everyone in person.
