Lots happened in Music this week. On Monday, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees were announced. The 2012 class includes Guns N’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Beastie Boys. This year’s induction ceremony goes in April. Among those passed over this year were The Cure, Joan Jett, Heart, and War…Especially tough for them as I hear they’d already polished up the Low Rider for the ceremony.
Elsewhere, with Christmas approaching, Linkin Park are asking for 10 dollar donations to purchase solar powered light bulbs for those without power in Haiti this holiday season. A great cause. Hats off to Linkin Park… however, “solar powered light bulbs”… doesn’t that phrase belong in a newfie joke?!...just sayin'
In the entertainment world this week, Harry Potter died*… Oh wait, wait, wait…It was Harry Morgan, who played Colonel Potter on MASH, who died…Whoops. Harry passed away Wednesday, the long time actor was 96**.
They’ve crunched the numbers, this year to buy all the items in “The 12 Days of Christmas” it would cost you just over 101 thousand dollars. The most expensive item being 7 swans a-swimming, they come in at $6300… However, face it, going to see 9 ladies-a-dancing could get pretty pricey too.
And finally, a new survey is out says 10% of women admit they can’t keep a secret…Of course this survey also proves 90% of women are liars… ha! ;-)

--P.S. *-got the joke from my desk neighbour at work. All credit, or boos to them.
**-Famous folk die in 3’s. The other two were Dobie Gray & Barbara Orbison, 23 years to the day after husband Roy Orbison.
