HIGH: The return of the super-jam … Paul McCartney deigned Cleveland with his presence to induct Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters into the Hall , and the two joined forces at the end of the ceremony to perform the first super jam since 2019: a spirited rendition of the Beatles standard “Get Back.” Sure, it would’ve been nice to have more musicians join in on the fun, but it was still Sir Paul doing a Beatles song. T-H-E B-E-A-T-L-E-S.
“By recognizing our achievement, the Rock Hall celebrates possibility, the kind of possibility that creates hopeful dreamers. By honoring our historical contribution, the doors to this establishment have opened wider, and the Go-Go’s will be advocating for the inclusion of more women,” she said. “Women who have paved the way for us and others. Women who started bands, who sing and write songs, who excel on their instruments, who make and produce records.

Das Kraftwerk männer said nein.
Also appearing in the montage was his wife Beyoncé, their daughter Blue Ivy, as well as the likes of Rihanna, Diddy, Pharrell, Chris Rock, LeBron James, Common, and stealth Jay-Z superfan David Letterman.
