So, my trip to Cleveland was fantastic. Seeing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was seriously one of the highlights of my life. I was like a kid in a candy store the entire time I was in there. Ya'll would have been laughing at me and my reactions, seriously. I got to see Michael Jackson's Thriller red jacket, his sequined glove, the werewolf mask from Thriller; I saw Madonna's pointy-boob costume; I saw Led Zeppelin's guitar, and ZZ Top's car, and Rolling Stones stage costumes. I saw Freddy Mercury's stage costume! And John Lennon's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band outfit. And stuff from Kurt Cobain, Rick James, Smokey Robinson, Joe Perry, Jay-Z, Metallica, Flava Flav... And Steven Tyler's mic scarves!!! And Elvis's purple car! I'm telling you, it was a dream come true. So crazy...
Going to the Rock Hall inspired a 3 hour downloading frenzy in which I downloaded over a hundred songs from the Rock Hall's list of 500 Songs that Influenced Rock and Roll. I now have about 200 of them... Only 300 more to go. And seriously, I'm gaining even more respect for songs I never gave a second thought to. Some songs I've just (re) discovered: The Tracks of My Tears, Sheena is a Punk Rocker, American Girl, California Dreamin, Blue Moon (The Marcels version), Give Peace a Chance, Somebody to Love, A Natural Woman. Lots more, but I don't want to list my entire iPod library at the moment.
Oh, and best news ever, Aerosmith is going on tour!! I finally get to see one of my favorites. I'll be in Vegas on July 25th having the time of my life!
