Nine Inch Nails Inducted Into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

[botley]

They announced more nominations yesterday for this year's class. Makes me wonder if T. Rez will show up at the ceremony in some form again — probably only if DEVO finally makes the cut. Not much other connection (that I can discern) between NIN and the other artists on that list. Sure, for MC5 you have that one time TR sang "Kick Out the Jams" with Street Sweeper, but it's not really a formative influence. He is tangentially related to Rage through that Morello connection, and of course the scrapped solo album he worked on with ZDLR, but that's it — and all of those are among the perennial often-nominated-never-inducted artists.
