Dolly Parton arrives at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles
2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony - Arrivals, Los Angeles, United States - 05 Nov 2022
One of the reasons I love Dolly is that she comes off like someone who would always be as thrilled to see you as you are to see her, even though she has no idea who you are.

And I mean, she's still got it. This ensemble is empirically ridiculous, but on Dolly you're like, "Well, YEAH, what ELSE would you want her to wear?!?!?"

Olivia Rodrigo
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Arrivals, Los Angeles, California, USA - 05 Nov 2022
This seems perfect for her -- it's girly and it's got edge, much like her music. I wish I had seen this: They brilliantly chose her to perform in place of inductee Carly Simon (her sisters both recently died, and so she was unable to attend), and they had her do "You're So Vain" -- the actual original "Okay but WHO IS THIS ABOUT" song, which has connective tissue with the buzz around Olivia's "Driver's License." And she can SING, so I bet she did justice to it.

I don't know that I think the chunky slit really adds much. Except venting, I guess? MAYBE some mobility?

She's married to exec Jimmy Iovine, who was inducted, but BORING, so sorry Jimmy but I just pulled a pic of Liberty. She is dressed as a botched jewelry store robbery.

And we had multiple Durans! Sadly, Andy Taylor wasn't there; they revealed he has Stage 4 cancer and it's not looking good. He sent a message and I gather from the LA Times liveblog that Simon was pretty emotional about it backstage. (Nick's shirt wins this.)

Leather pants are always a classic. I might've just gone ahead and done boots.

2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony - Show, Los Angeles, United States - 05 Nov 2022
I used to think Tim Robbins should play him, but now he's serving more Matthew Perry. John inducted a lawyer bigwig named Allen Grubman (he worked for Springsteen, which may explain his appearance), and during his speech he ripped into antisemitism: "Silence is complicity... F*ck antisemitism and f*ck anyone who says anything in that manner." Damn right. Louder for the shitheads in the back, please.
