Two weeks after the rousing entrance of Duran Duran, Dolly Parton, Eminem and Lionel Richie and many others into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles will air on HBO at 8 p.m. on Saturday night, when it can also be seen streaming on HBO Max.

If past telecasts are any indication, the 6 1/2-hour will be cut roughly in half for the television audience. Here are a few memorable moments from the show, that might get short shrift on TV.

A MOMENT FOR METAL

Many of this yearB次元官网网址檚 Hall inductees had more fame than Judas Priest. None had more rock B次元官网网址榥B次元官网网址� roll. The heavy metal mainstays delighted a room full of pop-minded Lionel Richie fans and Duran Duran stans who may well have shunned them in their 1980s heyday.

Judas Priest showed they could still bang their graying heads as they lit up the Microsoft Theater on Nov. 5 with a set that included B次元官网网址淏reaking the LawB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淟iving After Midnight,B次元官网网址� bringing back former members including original guitarist K.K. Downing and ex-drummer Les Binks.

The Priest acceptances speeches that followed made metal feel warm and fuzzy, especially that the face and frontman of the band, Rob Halford, who went last.

B次元官网网址淗ello, IB次元官网网址檓 the gay guy in the group,B次元官网网址� Halford began, bringing cheers. He broke ground when he came out in 1998.

B次元官网网址淲e call ourselves the heavy metal community which is all-inclusive, no matter what your sexual identity is, what you look like, or what you believe in or donB次元官网网址檛 believe in,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淓verybodyB次元官网网址檚 welcome.B次元官网网址�

Halford later thrilled the crowd again by singing part of a verse during the evening-ending all-star jam on PartonB次元官网网址檚 song B次元官网网址淛olene,B次元官网网址� the kind of bizarre pairing these moments at the Hall are made for.

Or maybe on this night it wasnB次元官网网址檛 so odd. thinking it should go to a more rocking artist, played up her new status, emerging for her performance in as much black leather as the guys in Judas Priest.

MELLENCAMPING ON THE MIC

Newly minted members whose careers came behind the scenes rarely make Rock Hall headlines or get major minutes on TV. But sometimes those doing the inducting give them a big boost, as three Hall of Famers did this year.

Janet Jackson (class of 2018), dressed as she did on the cover of her breakthrough 1986 album B次元官网网址淐ontrolB次元官网网址� to pay tribute to the men who helped her make it and were her careerB次元官网网址檚 key collaborators,

Bruce Springsteen (class of 1999) sang the praises of Jimmy Iovine, who rose from a mere studio engineer on his 1975 album B次元官网网址淏orn to RunB次元官网网址� to become one of the most important music executives of the past 30 years as founder of Interscope Records. B次元官网网址淐ongratulations little brother!B次元官网网址� Springsteen shouted as he invited Iovine to the stage.

And John Mellencamp (class of 2018) made maybe the nightB次元官网网址檚 most memorable speech, a long, sprawling, occasionally awkward but always heartfelt tribute to, of all things, a lawyer.

He inducted Allen Grubman, a co-founder of the Rock Hall and attorney to many current and future members.

B次元官网网址淎llen is Jewish, and I bring that up for one reason,B次元官网网址� Mellencamp said. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 a gentile, and my life has been enriched by countless Jewish people.B次元官网网址�

Mellencamp made the menace of antisemitism his theme, and while he never mentioned the , the artist formerly known as , he definitely brought them to mind.

B次元官网网址淚 urge you to speak out, if youB次元官网网址檙e an artist, against antisemitism, against all forms of bigotry, all forms of hatred,B次元官网网址� he said.

He added, B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 care if youB次元官网网址檙e Jewish, Black, white, tutti-frutti. I donB次元官网网址檛 care. HereB次元官网网址檚 the trick. Silence is complicity. Can I say that again? Silence is complicity.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚 knew he was going to make me cry,B次元官网网址� Grubman said when Mellencamp finally brought him to the stage.

Springsteen and Mellencamp couldnB次元官网网址檛 resist getting in on the music, too, taking the stage to close the show with a medley of hits by Jerry Lee Lewis (class of 1986) eight days after his death. B次元官网网址淔or the killer!B次元官网网址� Springsteen said.

A DURAN DURAN DO-OVER DO-VER

In its earliest days, before it was televised, when it was inducting people like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the Rock Hall ceremony was a loose and messy affair. ItB次元官网网址檚 now run with the neat efficiency of a sitcom set.

Which made it all the more exciting when Duran Duran opened the night with a big tech glitch. After a spirited induction from Robert Downey Jr., they took the stage and broke into 1981B次元官网网址瞫 B次元官网网址淕irls on Film.B次元官网网址� Sort of. They were inaudible but for singer Simon Le BonB次元官网网址檚 voice. They stopped and started over.

B次元官网网址淲e just had to prove to you that we werenB次元官网网址檛 lip-synching,B次元官网网址� Le Bon said.
