In this Beardo and Weirdo podcast clip, Craig Gass and Chris Kael talk about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and gripes from performers.

We're roughly six weeks away from finding who will comprise the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's class of 2025. Why it matters: Nominees continue to make their case for induction, a distinction that can earn much-needed exposure for acts far past their primes.

Mexican rock band Maná will perform at Little Caesars Arena on Feb. 21, 2026, promoters announced Monday. It will be the group's first-ever performance in Detroit, according to promoters. The band is nominated for this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction class, alongside Mariah Carey, Oasis, the White Stripes and others.

Paul McCartney was one of many to endorse Foreigner to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, which was a campaign spearheaded by Mick Jones’ stepson Mark Ronson. Now, the Beatle is advocating for the late English blues-rock singer Joe Cocker,

As McCartney implied, “With a Little Help From My Friends” was written by him and John Lennon, and sung by Beatles drummer Ringo Starr as the fictional character Billy Shears when it appeared on the group’s 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

If McCartney's campaign is successful, the singer's inclusion would be one of many posthumous additions to the museum.
