Alt-rock group R.E.M., headed my bald headed front man, Michael Stipe, has just been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But they’re not the only ones, though. Grandmaster Flash, Van Halen, The Ronettes, and Patti Smith, are also being inducted into the illustrious hall this year.

It should be also be noted that one of R.E.M.’s first hit singles was Shiny Happy People, and while the group has pretty much dejected the song-and it was actually ironically about the Beijing Massacre- thehappycorp still likes the idea of things being both shiny and happy. And people.
