Nominees expand rock'n'roll genre
Nevertheless, it is an interesting group with the classic 1970s the R&B and disco of Summer, the Spinners, and Rufus with Chaka Khan mingling with goth's first entry, the Cure, along with late folly songstress Nyro and the hardcore hip-hop of Eric B. & Rajim.
MUSIC
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
For music fans who have lost interest in the induction process, perhaps the knowledge that the 2012 ceremony will be held April 14 in Cleveland (tickets go on sale to the public in December) will bring you back to the fold.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation released the list of nominees for 2012 induction Tuesday, and its eclecticism continues the voting body's widening of the definition of rock 'n' roll.
The nominees are: Beastie Boys, the Cure, Donauon, Eric B. & Rakim, Guns N' Roses, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Freddie King, Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rufus with Chaka Khan, the Small Faces/The Faces, the Spinners, Denna Summer and War. Of those, Beastie Boys, Summer, Donauon, the Peppers and War are repeat nominees.
Acts are eligible for enrhinement 25 years after the release of their first single or album and will be voted in or out by the foundation's more than 500 voters.
Part of the fun is handicapping which artists will eventually walk the red carpet, step on stage and give a speech come next spring, so let's have at it, shall we?
A few of these folks' chances appear pretty slim. Disco queen Summer will likely have to wait, but she will probably be able to commiserate with Detroit vocal group the Spinners, who under the guidance of producer Thom Bell gave the world "Rubberband Man," "They Just Can't Stop It the (Games People Play)," "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love," "One of a Kind (Love Affair)" and "Working My Way Back to You/Forgive Me, Girl."
Also likely to remain on the nominee list are Rufus with Chaka Khan, who had big hits with the Stevie Wonder-written "Tell Me Something Good," "Ain't Nobody" and the oft-covered "Stay." Khan would probably have a better chance of getting in as a solo artist (her debut was released in 1978), but as yet the 10-time Grammy winner hasn't been nominated.
The Afro-Latin band War is one of the few R&B groups whose songs get played on classic-rock radio (specifically "Low Rider" and "Cisco Kid") and through much of the 1970s they brought a nice Latin soul flair to their run of hits.

After 33 years of piquant and sometimes irascible commentary, 92-year-old Andy Rooney will surrender his regular gig on CBS' legendary newsmagazine "60 Minutes" this weekend.

Rooney will sign off with a final piece — his 1,097th — on Sunday's program, preceded by a retrospective segment on his career with longtime colleague Morley Safer, the network said in a news release Tuesday.
In addition to his own often attention-grabbing views — he once scolded those who mourned the 1994 suicide of Kurt Cobain by saying he'd never even heard of the Nirvana frontman before then — Rooney is one of the last on-air links to the glory days of CBS News, when "60 Minutes" regularly topped the ratings and anchorman Walter
"There's nobody like Andy and there never will be. He'll hate hearing this, but he's an American original," Jeff Fager, the chairman of CBS News and executive producer of "60 Minutes," said in a statement. "It's harder for him to do it every week, but he will always have the ability to speak his mind on '60 Minutes' when the urge hits him."
Virtually all of Rooney's on-air colleagues from when he joined "60 Minutes" in 1978 — including Mike Wallace, Harry Reasoner and Ed Bradley — have either retired or died; only Safer, 79, and Bob Schieffer, the 74-year-old host of "Face the Nation," remain at work.
Cronite was dubbed "the most trusted man in America."

Theaters complain about 3-D expenses
Instead, Sony wants theaters to follow a policy that's already common in other parts of the world. Having consumers pay for their own disposable 3-D glasses, either to rent for each movie or to own a pair they can take home. Consumers already pay a premium of about $3 dollars for each 3-D movie ticket.
The National Association of Theatre Owners, the country's largest trade group of exhibitors, has lashed out at Sony Pictures concerning its plans to stop footing the bill for 3-D glasses and pass the expense on to moviegoers. However, Sony may not be alone in its crusade for long, as at least one other studio is considering following suit.
Such costs can add up to more than $10 million for particularly popular films.
Sony recently sent a letter to cinema owners informing them that as of May 1, 2012, it will no longer pay 3-D technology companies such as RealD the average cost of 50 cents per ticket for 3-D glasses used by moviegoers. Sony has two big 3-D movies coming out after May 1 next year: "Men in Black III" and "The Amazing Spider-Man."
After news of the letter surfaced in the Hollywood Reporter, exhibitors fired back Wednesday morning with a letter decrying the move. "NATO believes Sony's suggestion is insensitive to our patrons, particularly in the midst of continuing economic distress," the group said. "Sony's actions raise serious concerns for our members who believe that provision of 3D glasses to patrons is well established as part of the 3D experience."
In addition Amy Miles, chief executive of Regal Entertainment Group — the nation's largest theater circuit — said her chain might show fewer 3-D films if it was forced to bear the cost of glasses.
