Ronstadt is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 29th induction ceremony.

It wasn’t anything I ever thought about. I never thought of myself as a rock’ n’ roll singer; I sang it, (but) it’s just one of the things I sang. I sang a lot of different stuff. I didn’t go the last two times I was nominated for a Grammy, either. I don’t have anything against it; you just don’t do things for those reasons. If you’re working for prizes, you’re in trouble. There’s nothing wrong with it. I don’t mind it. It’s just not anything I ever gave a thought to.

Adler is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at the 28th induction ceremony.

It’s a real nice feeling, you know, no matter what you think about it. Every year goes by, if you don’t make it, you just say, ‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’ But it really matters, and you find that out when they finally say, ‘You’re in.’

The group is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at the 28th induction ceremony. Chuck D:

It’s good to look back from time to time to see where you impacted change or if you impacted change. I had parents who encouraged me to speak out and say what was on my mind and speak my truth. I think PE wanted to make change in some way through the music, and we did in the way we said what we said and how we said it.
