On August 29th, 2009 a big event will take place in Yucaipa, Ca. It is on the two acre property of Mark Johnson. It's open to the public but being kept very quiet. It is the first Inland Empire Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame event. The biggest names in the music industry of people from the Inland Empire will be there including Sammy Haggar. Why do many of us feel betrayed? Because we were originally asked to perform and be a part but ever since a Pastor Eckler took control of the scheduling most Hispanics were left out. Only one Latin band is being allowed to play. I don't have to explain why this is unjust especially for those of us who know what the Hispanic talent in the IE has done over the years not to mention the great names and extraordinary musicians of Mexican descent. But it is especially sour that Eckler a drummer and Pastor is letting most of his friends play!! I am also curious why a Pastor would engage in such activity where there will undoubtedly be alcohol and drugs.
