The new members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were announced after a rousing show Saturday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES — Lionel Richie soared. Pat Benatar roared. Duran Duran stumbled but stayed sophisticated. Eminem was Eminem.
They kicked back in at full volume, playing a set that included “Hungry Like the Wolf” and “Ordinary World," quickly snapping back into what Downey called their essential quality: “CSF — cool, sophisticated fun.” In his acceptance speech, Richie lashed out at those during his career who accused him of straying too far from his Black roots.
“I'm probably not supposed to actually be here tonight for a couple of reasons,” Eminem, wearing a black hoodie, said as he accepted the honor. “One, I know, is that I’m a rapper and this is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”He was inducted by his producer and mentor Dr. Dre, whom he credited with saving his life.“Pat always reached into the deepest part of herself and came roaring out of the speakers," Sheryl Crow said in her speech inducting Benatar.
