  • Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution I had goosebumps the entire time. Seven floors of Rock n Roll history! Not just Rock history but American history. Not just American history, but cultural history--cultural history that changed the world forever. This isn't just a collection of guitars and costumes. This is a dynamic historical museum, where every floor is a new decade, and you get to experience history in the making with every step you take, no pun intended. The use of multimedia is nothing short of exquisite. From the listening booths to the jukeboxes, to the films. Oh, the films! The films were extraordinary. First you get this excellent sound quality because the museum has invested in the best sound equipment. Then you get the finest filmmakers with a topic that can't go wrong. I was there all day. I read every placard, studied every photograph and every poster, and saw every film. And yes, I marveled for hours at Janis Joplin's hand-painted Porsche, pondered George Clinton's furry boot collection, and got goosebumps when I saw Stevie Nicks's gowns. I think I saw grown men cry at the site of all the electric guitars once held by their guitar heroes. I'm not even much of a guitar solo kind of woman, but I too was struck with awe seeing this amazing collection. I learned so much American history here, more than I ever did in school, from the great depression (which spawned rock n roll), racism, oppression, politics, drugs, civil rights, McCarthyism, political corruption. The exhibit on censorship in the 50s was nothing short of fascinating, and I pondered my school days again. How would it have been if curators such as these designed school curriculum? They make history not just relevant but poignant. Then with the 60s, you get the British Invasion era. All of a sudden everything is in color, like crossing into Oz. You get a totally new sound in music, and you get examples of world history, British history, and the history of Imperialism. Through it all, you get the voices in rock no roll that changed and continue to change the world. Rock n Roll was the instrument of Revolution. You can't leave this place without a better appreciation of the human spirit. P.S. For a good chuckle, take a close look at the mannequins wearing Mick Jagger's jumpsuits. No detail was omitted.
