Phish fans want the Rock Hall to return the band's hot dog
Not everyone is celebrating the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's recently announced class of 2025.
Catch up quick: Earlier this week, the museum revealed this year's inductees, who will be celebrated at a ceremony in Los Angeles on Nov. 8.
The list includes Outkast, the White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden, Bad Company, Chubby Checker and Joe Cocker.
The other side: Among the acts nominated that didn't make the cut was the prolific jam band Phish, who won the year's Fan Vote.
Phish is the second act — along with Dave Matthews Band in 2020 — to win the annual poll and not earn induction that year.
What they're saying:"Phish is the only Fan Vote winner not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. An all-time snub," one fan wrote on X. "Few bands [have been] as successful and culturally relevant for so long. It's always been political; you know it, I know it, the critics know it."
Between the lines: A Phish news Reddit page demands the Rock Hall return the band's 15-foot-long flying hot dog stage prop located on the museum's bottom floor.
The band debuted the hot dog in 1994 and it's been hanging from the museum's ceiling since 2000 and is one of the first things visitors see upon entry.

Rock band Heart offering reward for instruments stolen from New Jersey venue
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Two irreplaceable instruments owned by members of the rock band Heart were stolen from a venue in New Jersey last weekend as the group prepared to launch a nationwide tour, and the musicians are now offering a reward for information leading to their return. The band was set to kick off the An Evening With Heart tour at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City on Saturday, and its gear had been set up there the day prior to the show. Among the items stolen were a custom-built, purple sparkle baritone Telecaster guitar with a hand-painted headstock made for band member Nancy Wilson, and a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin that band member Paul Moak has played for over 25 years. 'These instruments are more than just tools of our trade — they're extensions of our musical souls,' Nancy Wilson said in a statement issued by the group. 'We're heartbroken, and we're asking for their safe return— no questions asked. Their value to us is immeasurable.' Heart is led by Wilson and her sister, Ann, who have made music together since the '70s and have had hits like 'Magic Man,' 'Crazy on You' and 'Alone.' The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers were honored with a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy in 2023.

AC/DC's Smashes Are Uniformly Soaring
AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" climbs to No. 5 on the U.K.'s Official Rock & Metal Singles chart as four of ... More the band's classics rise simultaneously. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 07: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) (L-R) Stevie Young, Brian Johnson, Angus Young, and Cliff Williams of AC/DC perform onstage during the Power Trip music festival at Empire Polo Club on October 07, 2023 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Power Trip) Even without releasing anything new, AC/DC still commands an incredible amount of space on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart in the U.K. The group ranks among the most successful names on the list at the moment, with multiple smashes appearing at the same time. Not only does the Australian rock outfit take up more real estate than almost any other act, but this time around, every one of its tunes manages to climb as sales increase. These decades-old classics are, somehow, still improving after so much time. AC/DC fills four spaces on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, meaning the group controls 10% of the entire 40-position ranking, which looks only at the bestselling tunes in those styles. This time around, all four smashes — which have already spent years on the list — manage to climb at least one spot, with most surging multiple rungs at once. "Thunderstruck" is AC/DC's highest-rising hit on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart this week, which is usually the case. The title climbs to No. 5, growing by one position from its previous placement at No. 6. Fellow time-tested winners "Back in Black," "Highway to Hell," and "You Shook Me All Night Long" also climb ever so slightly, appearing this frame at Nos. 21, 24, and 34, respectively. Among that bunch, the least successful track is "You Shook Me All Night Long," which is still regarded as a generation-defining win. The tune is the only one of the four that has yet to reach No. 1, as it has thus far stalled in the runner-up spot. It has also spent the least amount of time on the tally, with just 457 frames to its credit. That sum would be historic for almost any other act, but when it comes to AC/DC, the other three charting successes on the Official Rock & Metal Singles list have all passed 600 frames. "Thunderstruck" is the only one of AC/DC's songs that manages to appear on more than one tally this week. As it climbs on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, it also advances on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads lists, coming in at Nos. 66 and 62, respectively. In both instances, sales increased so much that "Thunderstruck" was able to push forward by more than 10 spots.

Kid Rock's New Restaurant Flooded With Negative Reviews: ‘Trash Food'
Kid Rock's new Nashville restaurant has been flooded with negative reviews following its opening. The musician, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, launched The Detroit Cowboy with restaurateur Joe Vicari on Tuesday after it was soft-launched last month. But the 12000-square-foot steak, seafood and fine dining restaurant has already been swamped by negative reviews online. "The tacos were terrible and smelled weird," one reviewer wrote online. Another said: "Trash food with trash ownership." The restaurant has also received a number of positive five-star reviews. It is possible that the negative comments are coming from critics of President Donald Trump due to Rock's support for him. This is a developing story. More to follow.
