Musical greats hail Lou Reed at Hall of Fame

Beck performs a song by inductee Lou Reed onstage during the 30th Annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony at Public Hall on April 18, 2015 in Cleveland, Ohio Music greats paid tribute to singer-songwriter Lou Reed as a singular cultural voice, as the late Velvet Underground frontman entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony Saturday night in Cleveland also featured a reunion of the surviving Beatles as Paul McCartney introduced Ringo Starr, the last of the Fab Four to be honored as a solo artist at the Hall of Fame. Reed, whose countercultural sensibilities with the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist have carried a major influence for decades, was honored by alternative rock figures of a younger era. Beck, the inventive Los Angeles multi-instrumentalist, performed "Satellite of Love" and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs sang "Vicious." Punk legend Patti Smith, breaking down at times with emotion, described Reed as "a humanist" who identified with the downtrodden.
