Rock n Roll Hall of Fame II

In business you don't complain without offering some plan or suggestion for improvement so in response to my last blog here are some suggestions for the powers that be in Cleveland.

*Personalized Museum Tours*

You'd have to have the right kind of guide for these of course (I suggest my friend Les) but since the museum doesn't open until 10 am you could offer early morning or after hours tours. The visitors would need to fill out a questionnaire to help the guide highlight what they might most like to see. It couldn't be exhaustive but it would make for a more singular experience, one I think people would be willing to pay extra for.

*Themed Self Guided Tours*

For the overwhelmed have a rack near the front of the museum with little fliers that highlight a particular theme, especially ones that would group things that might not be displayed near each other. Themes could be serious ("Great African American Female Rockers") or cheeky ("Choked to Death on Vomit") but they'd provide some structure at little or no additional expense. You could even have some psuedo passport to check them all off.

*Quiz Show*

Though there were listening stations throughout to hear famous radio people or albums there wasn't really anything to test your knowledge. I think lots of museum visitors would enjoy quizzing themselves. But please make them quiet machines, the place is loud enough already.

*New Music*

Nowhere in the whole place did I see any mention of new music. I get that it's all about achievement but an industry under fire as much as the music one is now can't waste any opportunity to get exposure for the faces of tomorrow. You'd have to change it regularly and yeah, at some point some Milli Vanilli one hit wonder type would get picked sure, but it'd be worth it if some worthy struggling acts got some attention.

If none of the above are possible just clearing the whole place out next time I want to visit would also work.
