HW: First HW member in R'n'R HoF

[Lurking Girl]

Well, I just visited the place this weekend, so I feel qualified to
answer all this now that it's fresh in my mind :)

Also, people should be aware that there are 2 parts to the whole location:
there is the museum, which is most of the building, and the Hall of Fame,
which is the top floor and consists only of the signatures of the artists
with tiny pictures and a rah-rah quote about each.  (Pink Floyd's quote
was from some guy from Smashing Pumpkins.  This strikes me as having
Daniele Steel write a blurb for the back cover of _Lord of the Rings_.)

Needless to say, they did not model his boils.  I was disappointed. :)

Hell, Black Sabbath is scarcely represented even in the Heavy Metal exhibit
(which is only a tiny corner of a gallery anyways).  Their presence
consists of an Iommi jacket.  Woo.  Deep Purple has a few bits of
miscellanea, but that's it.

He is (and in the Hall of Fame itself, as well as having various
representation throughout the museum).
