I was looking at Ticketmaster.Com this evening and noticed a set of new Chris Rock "Black Ambition Tour" dates. On Saturday, March 13, Rock is in Boston, Mass, at the Orpheum for a performance.

Rock's next performance is March 17 at the Palace Theatre in Albany, NY.

There is a four-day layover in the Northeast.

Is it right to speculate that Chris Rock might induct Prince into the Rock Hall of Fame in NYC March 15? Or do you think it will be someone else? Someone from his music past or someone more recent?

I don't know. Then again I think Lenny Kravitz or Gwen Stefani.

I'd like to see someone who hasn't worked with Prince but was influenced by him to induct him, like Outkast or someone to that affect.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again:

Either him



or them



or him



or him



More than likely, one of these guys will be chosen. But, I'm not gonna make any speculations, I'm just going to wait and find out on Hall of Fame night.

I think:

(originals)

Madonna
MJ
Janet

(rip offs of those 3,but had no clue Prince was the core to where the originals got their stuff/ideas)

lenny
britney
christina
andre 3000
dave navario
every rap producer with keyboard driven production

* I think all of these people should come out and thank Prince for giving them Ideas,a path, direct stealing,music production ideas,image ideas, shock media hype ideas,ect..

He is the Tree Trunk to what was done in the MTV,Cable Era.. all these other arist are just the branchs! This is NOT said allot, Prince doesn't care to push it.. but IF you rip off Prince and mix it with you style (sometimes direct stealing) you will be successful.

I really think Lenny's gonna do it, but you have to put Beyonce in the mix now. Don't be surprised if George Clinton, Madonna, Andre 3000, D'Angelo or even Larry Graham do the honors, only time will tell...
