Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Smith is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 22nd induction ceremony.
Today I will join R.E.M., the Ronettes, Van Halen and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On the eve of this event I asked myself many questions. Should an artist working within the revolutionary landscape of rock accept laurels from an institution? Should laurels be offered? Am I a worthy recipient?
