Duran Duran has stumbled into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
LOS ANGELES — — Duran Duran stumbled into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
It was a fun if inauspicious beginning to a mostly slick and often triumphant show that also saw the induction of Pat Benatar, Carly Simon and Judas Priest, with Eminem, Dolly Parton and Eurythmics still to come. In a room full of Duran Duran stans, Le Bon and bandmates John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Nick Rhodes provided what the singer said in his acceptance speech was the essence of their job over the past 40 years: “We get to make people feel better about themselves.”
Hitmakers of the ‘80s defined the night, with Pat Benatar, Lionel Richie and Eurythmics accepting their places in the Hall along with Eminem and Carly Simon. Carly Simon was also a notable absence among the inductees, with the ceremony coming two weeks after she lost sistersCarly Simon was a first-time nominee this year more than 25 years after becoming eligible. Presenter Sara Bareilles praised the legendary singer-songwriter's “fierce intelligence and soulful vulnerability” before singing a version of her James Bond theme “Nobody Does it Better” in her place.
