MUSIC CAN BE SUCH A REVELATION, DANCING AROUND YOU FEEL THE SWEET SENSATION: For all the attention we pay to it throughout the year, I guess I ought to note that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies are airing live on VH-1 Classic and MTV-HD as I'm writing this.

Lou Reed inducted Leonard Cohen with a rambling run through Cohen's lyrics (followed by a Cohen speech largely quoting from "Tower of Song"), then Justin Timberlake for Madonna (with Iggy Pop and the Stooges then performing "Burning Up" and "Ray of Light" in tribute). Cougar's next, with Billy Joel (?) as the speechmaker.

e.t.a. Pareles, AP, Billboard with recaps.
