’s class of 2021 induction ceremony, several honorees — The Go-Go’s, LL Cool J and “the Black Godfather” Clarence Avant — gathered to celebrate the unveiling of an inductee signature panel that will live on display in the Hall long after the gala ends.
He continued: “I’ve been near rap music and hip-hop, and I’m a part of something that started before me that allowed me to even be down into the house that my man LL Cool J built at Def Jam records. I said ‘built,’ because I was fortunate to put some electricity into it before Jay-Z put in the solar panels,” Ridenhour said. “People sometimes, they say ‘Rap is not rock,’ but this is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We the roll, baby. Rock and roll.
All five members of The Go-Go’s — Belinda Carlisle, Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock, Kathy Valentine and Jane Wiedlin — were also taking in the scene, posing alongside the plaque that includes engraved signatures of every inductee. The ceremony put a cap on a day which included a live interview with“Yesterday when we were rehearsing our set in the arena, we all looked up at our faces on the screen and thought, this is so … weird,” Carlisle said. “It’s totally surreal.
Carlisle continued: “It’s funny because we were in our first band together, The Germs, and then 44 years later he is here with The Foo Fighters and I am here with The Go-Go’s.”
