The Rock Hall is turning this year’s inductions into a week-long party, which kicks off with Celebration Day on April 11.
Here comes the cool part. Since Joan Jett is one of this year’s inductees, the Rock Hall has invited my daughter’s School of Rock band for an encore performance of last month’s Joan Jett show—April 11, at 5 pm, on the big stage at the Rock Hall. Norah’s very sincere comment when I told her: “Some people wait their whole lives to play at the Rock Hall — I’m only 8.”
