November 5th is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (watch for it later usually on HBO) and this piece of trivia just dropped.
Who is the only artist to be inducted three times?
So the loophole that allows this is that you are not always inducted by your name. It could be with the band that you were in. Some that are in twice are the members of The Beatles, as the group and singly. Stevie Nicks with Fleetwood Mac and by herself, Dave Grohl with Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Also Jeff Beck, David Crosby, Curtis Mayfield, Neil Young, Jimmy Page, and Lou Reed.
Again..who's in three times? Twice with bands and once by this artist's self.
The answer later in the briefing.

Peacock has dropped a stunning trailer for its bizarre new documentary called I Love You, You Hate Me, which is about the "rise and fall of Barney the Dinosaur's furious backlash."
The trailer begins with a lighthearted rendition of the Barney theme song before it warps into a nightmare version, and Barney actor Bob West recalls receiving threats of "death and dismemberment of my family." Talking heads in the trailer recall there being violent backlash against Barney, with one mentioning rumors that "Barney hides drugs in his tail," and we even see footage of police cars and a man in handcuffs. Peacock says the documentary will explore this "Barney-bashing" and examine what it "says about the human need to hate."

Veteran news anchor Katie Couric revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer over the summer.
Fortunately, the 65-year-old began treatment immediately and just wrapped up her final radiation course. Now, she wants other women to be serious about their breast health. Couric said she delayed her annual mammogram by six months and feared what the diagnosis might have been if she held it off even longer.

Who has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times? Eric Clapton.
In 1992, Clapton was given his first taste of the highlight with his work in The Yardbirds being recognized as one of the seminal moments in pop music history. He was inducted alongside his bandmates Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, despite rarely sharing their times in the band together. A year later and Clapton received another letter in the post, this time requesting his presence to induct his old band Cream into the Rock Hall.
Cream were, quite possibly, the greatest supergroup of all time, managing to lock in the wild talent of drummer Ginger Baker and bassist and songwriter Jack Bruce to work with Clapton to create some of the 1960s most fearsome sounds.
His third spot was given for his solo efforts in 2000.
