Rage Against the Machine have responded to this morning’s news that they are among the inductees in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2023. The groundbreaking band cited “a surprising trajectory” while thanking their “passionate fans” and others for their inspiration over the years.
In addition to Rage Against the Machine, the 2023 class includes Willie Nelson, Missy Elliott, Kate Bush, George Michael, Sheryl Crow, and The Spinners. With other nominees like Iron Maiden and Soundgarden missing the cut, Ratm are essentially the lone “rock” act being inducted this year.
In acknowledging the honor, Ratm pointed out their long record of anti-establishment in their statement, which reads as follows:
“It is a surprising trajectory for us to be welcomed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1991 four people in Los Angeles formed a musical group to stand where sound and and solidarity intersect. We called ourselves Rage Against the Machine.

Whether you want to immerse yourself in the world of birds, bees, baseball or backup singers, Netflix has a documentary for you. Missed "Man on Wire"? It's on there.
Here are films that changed the world, righted wrongs, pinpointed a moment in history, or simply shone a light on a previously unknown subset of society. (Availability subject to change. Films are unrated, except as noted.)

3. "The Battered Bastards of Baseball" (2014)

New York — When Harry Belafonte asked Common to participate in a benefit concert in support of freeing Native American activist Leonard Peltier, who is serving two life sentences for the 1975 execution-style deaths of two FBI agents, he did some research before giving his answer.
"I did my own due diligence," Common said in a telephone interview Thursday with The Associated Press.
He decided to participate Friday in the "Bring Leonard Peltier Home Concert" at New York's Beacon Theatre, joining a lineup that includes Belafonte, Jackson Browne, Pete Seeger and others.
"If I can really help a man be free from something he was accused of and is innocent and wants to be with his family, I can't get up there and say I can't do this because I may have a chance to get more record sales, or this film company is not going to decide to use me," the...
