If you're in Cleveland anyway, you definitely should. The operating
assumption among a lot of prospective RRHoFM visitors is that it's gonna
suck, that it'll be WennerLand, MTVLand, or whatever. But really, the
folks who put everything together seem to be big fans themselves and have
a healthy respect for the artists and the music. And I'm not usually a
big museum-goer, but it's very cool to see the instruments on which a
lot of our favorite songs were written and a lot of the original
lyrics/chord sheets for those songs.
Skip the record store within the museum, however, unless you're into
paying list price for stuff you can find at any well-stocked store
anywhere else.
