Cuba Agree To Resume Commercial Flights
Immediately following the announcement, American Airlines said it planned to submit a U.S.-Cuba service proposal to the U.S. Department of Transportation in hopes of “timely approval” to introduce scheduled service as soon as possible next year.
Other inductees include Cheap Trick, Steve Miller, NWA, and Chicago. They’ll be joined by pioneering Los Angeles gangsta-rap group N.W.A., which made just three albums between 1987 and 1991 before imploding. Eight of the individual members of Deep Purple have already been inducted int the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, namely, David Coverdale, Ian Paice, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Glenn Hughes, and Roger Glover.
The success of Straight Outta Compton introduced N.W.A to a whole new generation, and may have been the final push sending the gangster rap pioneers into the illustrious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “Worthy”, the Hall of Fame’s press release says of the group. Members of the general public are allowed to combine for one vote each year – a process that takes place online beginning a few years ago.

This year’s Rock and Roll inductees into the Hall of Fame will get their celebration on April 8, at the Brooklyn Barclay’s Center in NY, and will be televised by HBO. “I hadn’t really thought much about it. When it came up earlier this year, I was really surprised and amazed to watch all the voting and all the stuff that’s going on…” We’re extremely excited and happy for that. “Of course I couldn’t have done it without any of them“. Miller has been eligible since 1993 so it’s been a long time coming. Joel Peresman, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation president and CEO, said that a smaller nominating committee made it easier for rock bands from the ’70s to be nominated and inducted. “Nothing. Having these artists in before Deep Purple undermines what it is supposed to represent”.
