I went to the Nine Inch Nails show at the Forum in Los Angeles—the one together with [[David Bowie]]—and Trent held the center of that room just by being a kind of dark spot hunched behind the mic. I’d seen the same thing accomplished in different ways by T. Rex at Wembley, Nirvana at the Pyramid Club, and Bob Dylan in ’65. This is the mark of the master artist—simply to connect.
The controversial and brilliant French novelist Michel Houellebecq when asked the secret to his success said, “It’s easy, just tell the truth.” Listening to Nine Inch Nails feels like hearing the truth, so it gets you a little bit closer to God. It is my honor to assist in inducting Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.</blockquote>[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/iggy-pop-nine-inch-nails-2020-rock-hall-induction-speech-1086579/]</blockquote>
==Acceptance speech by Trent Reznor==
A special thank you to my wife [[Mariqueen Maandig|Mariqueen]] and my kids, who keep me humble and make everything worthwhile. And for the Nine Inch Nails fans out there, you guys are the best. We’ve wound up in some weird places together, and you’re an intense bunch that can drive me out of my mind — but you’re the best.
This journey’s far from over, if I have any say in it, so let’s stop fucking around, patting ourselves on the back, and get to it. Hope to see you all in the flesh soon. Thank you.</blockquote>[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/trent-reznor-nine-inch-nails-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-speech-1086568/]</blockquote>
