You will need to download the latest version of Windows Media Player to your computer if you don't already have it.

They have included the first paragraph of each of the inductees Rock Hall biography. Leonard Cohen's of course, is the one that ends with the part about giving Kurt Cobain a Leonard Cohen afterworld so he can sigh eternally.

Best Buy has also included their little take on the whole thing:

An original diva (Madonna), a Rock legend (Leonard Cohen), a heartland favorite son (John Mellencamp) and more--these legendary artists are set to be enshrined with other rock and roll luminaries.

Once again here's the page

Thanks Yank!

As has been noted elsewhere, I was disturbed to see I'm Your Man and Field Commander Cohen priced at 4.99, but out of stock. Second page shows lots of albums out of stock. What's up with that ?????

Hey, all Leonard Cohen admirers, I only learned of Mr. Cohen, when the film :"I'm Your Man", was released on DVD, and in case you haven't seen it you really should, you will cry, laugh, and be changed for ever. I cannot get him out of my head! I was an instant fan!
Mr. Cohen, has been a nominee since 1993, and this is a well deserved nomination/induction, Mr. Leonard Cohen is an artist who will affect people for the rest of time, from young to old, I wish they would play more of his work on the Radio.
The induction ceremony will be on March 10, 2008. At the Waldorf-Historia Hotel in New York City.
Inductees/Performers are as follows;
*Leonard Cohen
*The Dave Clark Five ( Dave Clark, Lenny Davidson, Rick Huxley, Denis Payton and Mike Smith)
*Madonna
*John Melencamp
*The Ventures (Bob Bogle, Nokie Edwards, Gerry McGee, Mel Taylor, Don Wilson).
2008 inductees were chosen by 600 voters of The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Foundation,
Twenty five years after their first released recording, artists are eligible for inclusion in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The induction ceremony will air live on VH1 Classic March 10,2008, Make sure that is what you have, or where to watch it, I think that would be a great DVD to own! I am sure that it will become available that will take some research too.

VH1 NEWS just played a 2 minute segment of a recent interviews with John Mellencamp and Madonna, then they ran down the list of this year's inductees. The clip they chose for Leonard Cohen was of him in the Closing Time music video. I Can't wait to see the video bio-intro they do for Leonard Cohen at the Rock Hall induction ceremony just before Lou Reed walks out on stage to give his speech and present Leonard Cohen. Plus, which Leonard Cohen song the Rock Hall chooses to play while Leonard is walking up to the stage. I wonder which video and interview footage of Cohen they will use. There will probably be new and exclusive rock hall interview footage as well.

I'd really love to watch this tonight, most richly deserved inductee ever, unfortunately it will be on in the middle of the night here and my home internet connection is too slow for proper streaming pity......I wonder will it be noticed if I break into work in the middle of the night to view it on the office pc...
