David Robinson woke up early on the morning the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced their class of 2018. The Cars drummer was told a couple of days earlier by his manager that they’d finally gotten inducted, but he wanted to see the news coverage himself. “I thought the local stations would be covering it,” he says. “Four people called me to say congratulations and I said, ‘Nothing has been on.’ But it came on while I was taking to the fourth person. Luckily they had some nice footage of us playing live, so it was good.”
