HALL MONITOR:
JOHN SYKES

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame chief John Sykes is earning major props for his leadership of the institution—especially for his board’s lightning-fast decision to oust co-founder Jann Wenner (himself a former RRHOF head) for his racist, sexist remarks in an interview. Unlike Wenner, Sykes (who’s also prexy at iHeart) has been outspoken about making the HOF more musically and culturally inclusive. But he’s asked us to get the hell out of his Hall.
