MUSIC SCENE: Rick French on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees

MUSIC SCENE host Nanette Wiser caught up with Rick French who gave us the inside scoop on this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees announced live on American Idol 4/27. The full induction ceremony airs live 11/8 from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Disney+ , then next day on Hulu followed by a New Year's three-hour re-broadcast of the show. To be eligible for induction into the Rock Hall, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years before the year of nomination.
**We also talk about the "rapturous" response to the world premiere of his Four Down film @Sunscreen Film Festival, which won Best Documentary. The feature film of the book debuts 9/26/2025!
