Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame And Museum

A little hyped up but enjoyable.

On my 49th birthday. The very same day was her 78th birthday. We had a GREAT time. I highly recommend visiting this place.

The first time I went to this place was when driving the red car to Wash DC. I was happy to be there. _{it seems}

The whole reason we went to Cleveland was because I was dying to see the museum. I was very disappointed. It wasn’t what I expected. Maybe I’m just not as into rock as I thought.

I was glad we made the trip though, because we found some other great places in Cleveland.

Visit the city, but skip the museum.

Should be way cooler than it is. You walk in thinking, “Whoohoo! I’m gonna see The Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum!” But you walk out thinking, “Was that it?!?” It’s not what I think the Rock Hall Museum should be. It’s to commercialized. A definite disappointment.

This was the first place I stopped while driving from Maryland to Washington. I saw Leadbelly’s guitar, Jimi Hendrix’s pants, Mick Jagger’s cape, and David Bowie’s jumpsuit. Any one of those things would have made it worth my time.

I am not a big museum fan, but a museum that is all about music is definately for me. It was by far the best museum i have ever been to. A replica model of “The Wall” from Pink Floyd is definately a highlight, as well as the room where you can listen to the 500 most influential songs of all time. I need to get every song on my iPod.

I just got back from my trip. I really enjoyed it. If you’re into music, its a must. I wasnted to go now because of the special Clash installation that is there until Oct.
And we found lots of other fun things to do in Cleveland, so its really worth going, even if you’re not from the area.

I really enjoyed the structure/place itself, as well as the movie which played the music & showed the personalities of everyone inducted year by year.

Wish they’d had more rock/artist t-shirts in the store…

I think my favorite part of the whole museum is the Autograph Hall. I’m an amateur graphologist…that’s handwriting analysis for those of you not up on your Ologies. The Autograph Hall is dark and cool, which after some of the bright LOUD displays is a relief. The signatures on the black glass walls are backlit, so they look like they are hovering in space. It was a unique way to present something that to many is pretty boring. Bands like The Beatles and the Rolling Stones are clustered together, so you can compare the various members’ handwriting.
The timed entrance to the Museum was a hassle, but we were there the day it opened, so it was understandable. We also saw the first Concert for the Rock Hall in the now-demolished Cleveland Stadium. Can you tell I lived in Cleveland during this time frame? I don’t know that I’m music fan enough that I would have travelled to experience the opening of the Rock Hall, but ya gotta support the home town attractions.
Cleveland Rocks!
