Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie
Die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ist ein Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, für die wichtigsten und einflussreichsten Musiker, Produzenten und Persönlichkeiten im Umfeld des Rock ’n’ Roll.
Bereits seit 1986 wird jedes Jahr eine begrenzte Anzahl neuer Mitglieder in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen, wobei die Aufnahme frühestens 25 Jahre nach Erscheinen der ersten Schallplatte oder CD des Künstlers erfolgen kann. Das Museum an sich wurde im September 1995 eröffnet.
Das Museum
Nachdem Mitte der 1980er Jahre auf Anregung Ahmet Ertegüns, des Gründers von Atlantic Records, einige Leute aus der Musikindustrie begonnen hatten, sich über eine Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Gedanken zu machen und ein Nominierungskomitee gegründet hatten, trat Cleveland an sie heran, um ihnen ihre Stadt als Standort für ein entsprechendes Museum anzupreisen – unter anderem mit dem Argument, der Begriff „Rock 'n' Roll“ sei im Jahr 1951 von dem aus Cleveland stammenden Discjockey Alan Freed und der von ihm moderierten nächtlichen Radiosendung The Moondog Rock & Roll House Partys geprägt worden.
Zwar machten auch andere US-amerikanische Städte entsprechende Angebote, aber nach einer Unterschriftenkampagne sowie einer von Cleveland gewonnenen Umfrage der Zeitung USA Today fiel im März 1986 die Grundsatzentscheidung der Stiftung für Cleveland als Standort.
Dieses Museum öffnete – nach einer feierlichen Eröffnungszeremonie am Vortag – am 2. September 1995 erstmals seine Pforten für Besucher.
Das Gebäude für das Museum hatte der namhafte Architekt Ieoh Ming Pei entworfen. „Die Konzeption dieses Gebäudes soll die Energie des Rock 'n' Roll widerspiegeln“, so beschrieb der Schöpfer selbst die Idee beim Beginn der Arbeiten. Das Gebäude stellt nun das Herzstück des North Coast Harbor von Cleveland dar, umfasst an die 14.000 m² und kostete 84 Millionen US-Dollar.
Die gelungene Architektur des Gebäudes wurde zweifach ausgezeichnet (1997 American Institute of Architects / American Institute of Steel Construction: Award for Innovative Design and Excellence in Architecture Using Structural Steel; 1998 New York Association of Consulting Engineers: Engineering Excellence Award).

Mitglieder der Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Es werden verschiedene Kategorien unterschieden. „Bühnenkünstler“ (engl. „Performers“) sind die Musiker an sich, sowohl Einzelmusiker als auch Bands. „Non-Performer“ meint Leute, deren Verdienste nicht auf sondern hinter oder neben der Bühne liegen, insbesondere Songschreiber, Produzenten, Disc-Jockeys, Leute von Plattenfirmen und Journalisten. Unter der Kategorie „Früher Einfluss“ werden Personen aus der Vor-Rock-Ära geehrt, deren Werk Einfluss auf diese hatte. Schließlich wurde im Jahr 2000 eine weitere Kategorie, „Studiomusiker“, neu eingeführt.
