Excerpts from the report card of John Lennon
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Cleveland, Ohio

It was a pilgrimage of sorts for me to go to the magnificent I.M Pei structure that opened in 1995. There are five floors and I could see only one in the entire day. The stuff that they have is amazing. The listening booths present the genre,artist and his links and info with the music, of course. Everything is audio-visual celebrating everything that rock and roll is all about. This includes a section on Teen Idols, clips from TV and radio about R & R being bad for the youth, a huge video wall, the 30 foot Giant Fender Amp replica that Neil Young used for one of his concerts. Finally saw the famous Sgt. Peppers suits of the Beatles and John's report card.
The museum has a huge collection of Hendrix stuff including one of the Fender Strats. One of the ones that survived his battering.
The most astonishing exhibit is the original Sun Studio on the second floor loaned to the museum by Sam Phillips. The same piano that Jerry Lee Lewis played on his famous Sun Sessions. Seeing such stuff was eerie.
Another interesting exhibit was the letter to Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone by Charles Manson, asking for a years free subscription in return for an interview.
