It's been there for well over a year ~ I guess I can't run for fan-of-the-year ~ Anita, Kirsten and I finally went today to the Rock Hall to see the Bruce Springsteen Exhibit.Did you know that they charge way too much for admission? But they do give a "greater Cleveland" discount ~ so it only cost us $18.00. We took a picture for a woman from Florida and rode in the elevator with people from New Jersey. It's weird to see Cleveland as a tourist hot-spot! Especially in late September. I don't know why that seems so weird. I like Cleveland and I'm glad others come here...
The Hall really is put together well and The Springsteen exhibit was worth seeing. I found his music notebooks to be interesting. It was very cool to see his words in his handwriting. It made the very public songs much more personal. How many times have I scribbled thoughts into notebooks complete with cross outs and doodles. It would be hard to bare my soul, so to speak, to the world. There were also many posters advertising his early shows. "This Friday" ~ now the dates are set months in advance and I have lots of time to anticipate a great show. "Admission $2.00" ~ didn't I spend $102.00 to see the last show? There was also the leather jacket he wore during Born to Run ~ it was SOOOO small.
The exhibit is on the fifth and sixth floors with a circular staircase going up to the sixth floor. On the walls are the words to the first verse of Thunder Road. So, of course, we have to sing the song as we walk up! And when we get to the top the MTV Unplugged concert is playing. Red Headed Woman started just as we entered the floor. It's fate ~ someday I will meet him, and it will be amazing. (I'll have to practice a reaction so I don't just flop around.)
