Why didn't FRL post the announcement that Johnny Cash is this year's recipient of the American Music Masters series? They didn't do this for Smokey Robinson, The Everly Brothers and The Rolling Stones in the last 3 years. IMO, the American Music Masters program is one of the major highlights of the year for the Rock Hall. And a truly remarkable achievement honoring those who are already inducted into the Rock Hall. This annual award honors Rock Hall inductees and sheds light and close examination on the artist(s) and their impact on rock and roll music (in terms of cultural, artistic and historical significance). There's usually a week-long list of festivities at the Rock Hall in October like an academic conference, keynote lectures, interviews that cuminates in a huge tribute concert honoring that year's honoree. It seems interesting that they chose Cash (I thought for sure it was gonna be either B.B. King or Carole King), but he's still a solid choice nevertheless. Wonder if this means we may see a country orientated artist appearing on this year's rock hall ballot? Maybe Gram Parsons or Willie Nelson? Still thou, I just don't understand why FRL doesn't announce this piece of news meanwhile they will retweet posts/articles from some highly unqualified Roll Hall writers (cough Troy Smith cough). The news of Cash's upcoming honor is on the main page (front and center no less) on the Rock Hall's website and Cash's music is constantly now on rotation on SiriusXM's Rock Hall Radio channel (the channel doesn't play a whole lot of Cash or a great variety of his music; the usual Cash hits are played like A Boy Named Sue, Walk the Line and Ring of Fire but that's really it).
