They're only in it for the dough.

A couple of thoughts were bouncing around in my head like ball bearings in an empty coffee can, the way they do--the Rockin' Cupcakes shop of Rochester Hills, Michigan, whose proprietors I saw an episode of that great cultural institution Cupcake Wars on Food Network, and the fact that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland has sucked up taxpayer money throughout its existence, as much as $2.8 million in a year.

They they they they they say the heart of rock 'n roll is still Cleveland

I got to thinking that since the stupidly wealthy musicians and executives who made their fortunes off rock 'n/or roll somehow can't keep their damned hall of fame afloat without sticking it to the taxpayer, perhaps they could defray some expenses by having a bake sale! Of course, several possibilities based on Classic Rawk songs leaped to mind.

Bun Through the Jungle -- coffee roll with green icing

Bake It Easy -- Freyed dough with Browne icing and a "secret ingredient"; probably illegal in Cleveland

Aqualump -- gray cupcake with a smear of icing and a fondant cigarette butt on top

Babka O'Riley -- a yeast cake that substitutes salt for sugar. Fooled again!

Roll Over Beet -- beet-flavored roll

I Wanna Rock Cake -- traditional English teatime rock cake, decorated with Dee Snider makeup-inspired icing

And You and Pie -- gooseberry pie, so astringent it makes you squeak like Jon Anderson

Stairway to Unleavened -- controversial matzo cupcake, with unleavened cake pieces iced together into the shape of a spiral staircase

The Court of the Crimson King Cake -- red velvet cake iced with purple, green, and gold; each contains a little figurine of an evil imp

John Lemon's Imagine -- a lemon cupcake that looks nice on the shelf; proves to be an empty wrapper

These ten ideas should help the rock 'n roll hall o' fame get its act 2'gether. If not, I'll post some more ideas down the road, if nothing more interesting or funnier occurs to me.
