Rock and Roll Hall of Fame comes to Cary

Some very exciting news came out of Cary today — and I don't say that often.

Booth Amphitheatre will host a fundraising event presented by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum on Sept. 20. The concert will benefit the John Entwistle Foundation, which bears the name of the legendary bassist for The Who.

The foundation declares its mission as “to develop and manage a musical education, donation and training program at libraries whose patrons are most likely to be underprivileged children and adults.”

The show will feature "very well-known musicians from big-name bands behind the front men from some of rock ‘n’ roll’s most legendary groups" playing in an "all-star band."

Because I know you're wondering how in the hell this event ended up in Cary, a national trustee for the hall of fame, Rick French, lives in the town. For more details, check out this story in The Cary News.

The most interesting part of all this, of course, will be finding out who's actually on the bill. The only name mentioned so far is drummer Steve Luongo, executive director of the Entwistle Foundation.

Who would you like to see play this show? And how astronomical do you think tickets to the event will be??
