You can't visit Cleveland, Ohio and not see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so I visited. For about 20 years in a part-time basis, I was on the radio as either a DJ, broadcast meteorologist, doing news, or engineering. I also used to listen to the American Top 40 from the late 1970s to about 1998, so I am familiar with so many of the artists in the music industry. Of course, 2022 was the perfect year for my visit because Dolly Parton was voted in (she's one of my all-time favorite singers/songwriters/entertainers).
HIGHLIGHT TO ME - At the top level, there was a 25 minute film produced by Dick Clark productions with clips of countless musical artists who appeared on the American Bandstand Television show- that was the best!
I also enjoyed seeing the displays of costumes, guitars, and other memorabilia of artists from Blondie to Heart, the Beatles, Elvis, Supremes, and countless others. Below are photos of Elvis' gold suit, Aretha Franklin's display, and those from the Go Go's, Herman's Hermits, Quiet Riot, the Beatles, David Bowie, Blondie, Prince, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" song/video jacket, a photo of Madonna at the entrance of the restrooms, and the 2022 inductees. It took about 2 1/2 hours to go through the 5 floors of the museum, and if you love music, you'll enjoy it, too!
