If you have time to kill in CLE, take Jess's advice & go to University Circle .. The Art Museum is way better than the Rock hall.

if you are a vulnerable indie kid who hates being reminded that the world is not on your side, dont go ;-)

maybe:I was frustrated to see, in the punk section of the exhibit, little evidence that the curators held the movement in high regard. At the expense of any mention of the beliefs and idologies of the punk movement, punks were portrayed as simply being petty criminals. The whole museum at that time seemed to exist solely to advocate a very baby-boomer orientated outlook, namely that the 60s was the last decade of revolution in music.

BTW: The Fat Boys invented rap. Fuck all that Run DMC hype. It was all about being Fat!

actually Jess, that's probably Case Western Reserve Univ you're thinking of, part of the University Circle area along with the Clevo Museum of Art, Severance Hall etc etc. - John Carroll is about 20 minutes east, up in the Heights.

Work took me to Cleveland this week, and with fairly low expectations, I visited the Hall and had a great time. A+Substantial exhibits from Hank Williams, John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins and Elvis. They did a good job on the early/influential stuff.Cool exhibits from The Supremes T-swift, Rihanna, Jane Wiedlin, Chrissie Hynde, Cyndi Lauper-some of my favorite artists. Felt like a decent effort to represent women.Any day when I see a handwritten letter from The Damned(!) to the Ramones is swell. Punk in general was represented well, with great exhibits from The Damned (a personal favorite), The Clash and The Replacements.Cool cafe with a patio overlooking the lakeGreat book selection in the gift shopConsI found the whole 'music changed the world' politics exhibit the height of rockist BS, and ugh, the 60s. But then, people my age hate boomers.
Umm, that's really it. I'd definitely go again, 2 hours wasn't nearly enough.
