Rock Hall Of Fame: Donna Summer, Heart, Rush, Randy Newman, Public Enemy

Today the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced its inductees for 2013.

After more than a decade of irate rants and enthusiastic lobbying from fans, Rush is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Canadian trio will be inducted into the hall on April 18 along with Heart, singer-songwriter-pianist Randy Newman, rap group Public Enemy, the late disco queen Donna Summer and blues guitarist Albert King. Label executive and music impresario Lou Adler and producer-arranger-composer Quincy Jones are headed as Ahmet Ertegun Award -- aka non-performer -- honorees.

I'm quite pleased about Heart and Public Enemy.
