Rock and Roll Museum
Wow this is my 400th post.
Cleveland was really lots of fun- the rock and roll museum was very impressive. My most memorable objects (and I saw very very many) were definitely John Lennon's glasses and his green coat he wore on the Sgt. Pepper album cover. Also they had the silver suit David Bowie wore in the Ashes to Ashes video and on the cover of his Scary Monsters album. The featured artists were Tom Petty and Roy Orbison. I also very much liked seeing all of the Clash, Sex Pistols, and Neil Young stuff. And I was reminded of the fact that I used to love Louis Armstrong!
Also of interest were the materials on Jim Morrison from the Doors, including his boy scout uniform, and letters to and from the Police to his Dad regarding his arrest in a concert for indecent exposure, also his death certificate from Paris, Keith Moon's Pictures of Lily drumkit, and the Wall from the Pink Floyd Wall concerts in the seventies. Surpisingly, they had very little things of Elton John. They had Bryan Ferry's velvey jacket from his seventies tours with Roxy Music which was cool.
There also was a history of listening devices ending of course with the iPod!
And of course there was quite a bit of Elvis stuff.
Brian and I also went bowling which was great though he beat me numerous times. The driving really wasn't too bad for me because I was able to talk to Brian practically all of the time and also we had good luck with not too much traffic.
And we went to Cracker Barrel restaurant for a very good breakfast too.
I am at home doing laundry now, just finished a nice long run and so feel very good. Time to drink gatorade and watch more Doctor Who. Evidently the Sox lost today and the NYY won, oh well guess the weekend couldn't be perfect!
