Nearly every induction ceremony since the Rock Hall Of Fame opened in Cleveland has been staged in New York City, a fact that has not sit well with a lot of people in the museum's host city. The decision to hold the Hall's 25th Anniversary celebration with concerts in Madison Square Garden was just one more snub.  Clevelanders can take some consolation in the fact that holding the event in the Big Apple will bring big bucks to the museum - and guarantee that the induction ceremony will take place in Cleveland every third year.  Proceeds from the concerts and sale of the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Concerts DVD box set that goes on sale next month will fund a $5 million dollar endowment for the museum.  A stipulation of the endowment is that Cleveland gets to host the inductions on the regular basis.  We'd like to see other cities get the chance to host them on the between years.
