Rock Hall update ( Clev Oh )

[BB73Challenger]

Went to the rock hall on Sunday and here was my take on it -
( sorry to bore anyone, but this is in response to an earlier thread )
Right away, THERE IS NO PICTURES. The line is that there is a number of donated goods that belong to people who own the rights to the images.
We spent about 3 hours there, and my wife and I had a good time. In that 3 hours there was still a lot of items that we missed. There is nothing that is going to "entertain" you there, and what I mean by this is if you go in waiting for the place to come alive and wow you it's not going to happen but if you like to wander around and see all of the displays and read the stories behind not only artifacts but the atrist as well you will have a pretty good time.
I was most impressed with the displays for Jimmy Hendrix, which not only included things like clothes and guitars and MANY hand drawings as a child, but they also had a surround sound theater set up playing some live concert footage of him.
If they were to "spot light" and artist or band that I like very much I would go down again. The spot light when we went was The Who's Tommy, and had the last 2 floors deticated to that.
I believe regular admision is $17 ( we got our tickets for free ) and considering I've paid more than that to go see a terrible movie with popcorn and something to drink.

OH - you want to get someone in BIG trouble, just keep telling your wife out loud "stop touching the artifacts" near a security guard. they love that.

Thanks for the update BB73. I guess it's not what it seems. But still pretty cool I imagine.

I saw that short film the last time I went, it was pretty good. They do have a LOT of drawing there, some good and worth looking at, but some are really bad. Did you go through the backlit autograph wall? The most interesting autographs are the Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder autographs, there surprisingly neat......

I must have missed the autograph wall, down in the basement ther just seemed to be so much to see there and the way it just turns and twists around it's kind of easy to miss things.
They had a nice room dedicated to Ray Charles while we were there, but I didn't see any of his hand writing  :laughing:
