Randy Newman and Public Enemy are among a diverse mix of 2013 inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the museum announced today (Dec. 11) at a ceremony in Los Angeles. Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, announced the six inductees chosen from 15 nominees this year. Among the Class of 2013 are blues guitarist Albert King, disco royalty Donna Summer, rockers Heart and early hip-hop artists Public Enemy, singer-songwriter Newman, and progressive rock band Rush. They will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame April 18 in Los Angeles. The ceremony will mark the end of a long wait for fans of five of those six acts, who've been eligible for entry for some time. Public Enemy was inducted on its first ballot appearance, swelling the ranks of hip-hop entries. "That is an eclectic group," said Newman.
