The 2013 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony was a special night. Held on April 18 at the Nokia Theater is Los Angeles, the evening saw Rush, Heart, Public Enemy, Randy Newman and the late Donna Summer and Albert King welcomed into the Hall Of Fame.
“Rock and roll has forever been ensconced in mystery,” said Dave Grohl as he and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins introduced Rush ahead of their induction. “Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil that early morning that Satan knocked upon his door; the death of Paul McCartney in 1966 and the conspiracy to replace him by an exact double; Elvis sightings... Jim Morrison sightings... Axl Rose sightings... But there is one mystery that surely eclipses them all: when the fuck did Rush become cool?”
The Foo Fighters would later perform a tribute to Rush wearing wigs, kimonos and fake moustaches, before Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart brought the house down with a performance of Tom Sawyer.
