Cleveland, OH- According to a national newspaper, it's time for people nationwide to pack their bags and head for Cleveland in 2008. The whole country's eyes were on Cleveland and the Rock Hall today as USA Today featured the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum as a must visit destination if you're ready to experience a trip down memory lane and the roots of rock and roll.
The Rock Hall is featured prominently in USA Today's “Life" section, page 3-D and on the newspaper's home page. The article features a large photo of the Museum in a full page story on the “10 great places to know it's more than rock 'n' roll." The USA Today homepage features an image of the Rock Hall and a link to the same story
The list, compiled by Chris Epting, host of The Pop Culture Road Trip at webtalkradio.net and author of “Led Zeppelin Crashed Here: The Rock and Roll Landmarks of North America," shares his list of favorite stops with Kathy Baruffi at USA Today.
The Rock Hall item reads: “John Lennon's costume, The Supremes' dresses, Grace Slick's Woodstock outfit, Kurt Cobain's guitar, along with many other artifacts, can be found in this stunning building designed by I. M. Pei," Epting says. “In addition to its permanent exhibits, the museum stages a number of temporary exhibits throughout the year, including large-scale shows. The museum also contains some remarkable interactive exhibits, films and videos."
