Unbelievable!!! The beauty, ugliness, truth, glory of a music and some of the musicians - but finally giving words to the photographers who captured the moments. Thank you...

Curatorial materials were overwritten and I don't understand how this exhibit was organized -- there was no sense of music's evolution or the various genres of rock. Entirely too much attention paid to the over-rated U2, but that's forgivable. The slash-dash selection of material isn't.

Even an elementary understanding of the history of rock and roll would help. And also, is the complete lack of organization intended to intoxicate us? And also, get some synonyms for intoxicate.
Kind Disregards,

Lousy culture. Getting lousier by the minute in the 2000s. Mediocre music.

Am incredible exhibit. It captured the essence of Rock N Roll, and brought back many memories for my Father, who had seen all of these incredible performers at all of these clubs before they made it big. Definitely one of the best exhibits I;ve ever seen. The Albert Watson Mic Jagger Photo was incredible, along with the Madonna shot and the Elton John shot. INCREDIBLE!!!!
