visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

I am only 5 or so hours away and have not been there. Pity really. I would also like to see the EMP that the other girl mentioned in her post but Seattle is much farther from Cincinnati than Cleveland is! ;) One step at a time!

On my bike to be specific. I think that’ll be part of the fun, considering I live in Northern California over 2000 miles away. Call me crazy but I’ll be doing it.

Got there on a long weekend to Cleveland with a friends, just after a hefty snowstorm. Getting there was part of the fun.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is merely ok. It’s got some cool stuff, but it’s not worth the $25 admission. A better choice of pop music museum would be the Experience Music Project (EMP) in Seattle. There, you can at least do something and not just look at stuff behind glass.

An old WWII submarine sits in the lake next to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is cool. The Hall of Fame is cool too.

I Love music. All music. But nothing makes me feel like rock n’ roll makes me feel. It makes me feel rebelious. It makes me want to drive fast. It’s hard to explain, but I’ve never had the same feeling from anything else. I wouldn’t get to experience this emotion if it wasn’t for all the Rock n’ Roll legends. I don’t know when this goal will be completed, but I will complete it.

It seems like every time I plan a trip here, something comes up to make it impossible. This year it was a pregnant wife. Other years it was work scheduling or family events.

But I’m not worried. It will be there when I am ready.

I traveled over 6 hours to get there and all I can say is “I should have went to Cedar Point.” Who agrees?

It’s been a few years since I’ve been there and they might have changed a few things but I wasn’t all that impressed.

Be sure to have a few other things planned in Cleveland if your traveling far.

Personally, I really enjoyed this museum, but I also have a great interest in the history of Rock Music. When I visited in August of 2004 there was a huge Jimi Hendrix exhibit that included many examples of his childhood art. All in all, it was a great experience. My boyfriend and I drove there from Eastern Pennsylvania, and we both thought it was worth the trip.
