Received an interesting email on Friday.  Sort of a Save The Date for The 43rd Annual John Lennon Tribute from Theatre Within, Saturday, December 2, 2023.  Shelly and I often attend.  So do other members of this tribe that hosts this and six other daily commentaries.  When we both are able to attend we meet up before shows with Vincent and Susan Russo.  I forwarded the email to Vincent and my daughter Marisa.

What intrigued me was not the first line of the "43rd Annual John Lennon Tribute at Town Hall," which is a larger venue than the usual "Symphony Space" location  at 2537 Broadway.  Nor was the first line of bolded large text., "Join us and an all-star lineup of artists to be announced soon" a major tease.  In small type that follow, it states,

"This year’s John Lennon Real Love Award Honoree  and headliner is a two-time Rock And Roll Hall of Famer!"

Now, that got me thinking.  John Lennon, a former Beatle and two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee.

Indeed all four Beatles, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr included are double inductees.  Could it be that Ringo or Paul is this year's honoree and deadline either Paul or Ringo.  As a member/supporter of Theatre Within, I'll get to access to its exclusive presale so if either living Beatles fills the bill, I should be able to secure tickets.

It also got me thinking, if not either Ringo or Paul, who could it be from among those other Double Inductees still living?

Eric Clapton, also a triple inductee as solo artists and with Cream and The Yardbirds?

Neil Young, as a solo artist and with Buffalo Springfield?

Neil's Springfield bandmate, Stephen Stills, also with Crosby Stills and Nash?

Still's bandmate, Graham Nash, also with The Hollies?

Rod Stewart, as a solo artist and with The Faces?

Rod's former Faces bandmate, Ronnie Wood, also with The Rolling Stones?

Jimmy Page with The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin?

New Yorker Paul Simon, as a solo artist and with Simon and Garfunkel?

Carole King, as a solo artist and with ex-husband Gerry Goffin as Ahmet Ertegun awardees

Peter Gabriel, as a solo artist and with Genesis

and Dave Grohl, with Nirvana and The Foo Fighters.

I apologize if I missed anyone else among those still among us.

What is your guess on who it'll be?
