In 2012 I found myself on at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in
Cleveland on assignment from Motorcityblog. The museum was massive and contained
6 floors of exhibits. A music lovers dream come true.
A music lover trough and through, I jumped at the chance to cover the "Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power" touring exhibit brought to you by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and having it's final U.S. touring stop at the Henry Ford in Dearborn. A large collection of over 250 pieces of memorabilia from 70 women in rock and roll history.
There is so much to cover in regards to the exhibit that I plan on releasing my "Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power" review in five parts over the next few weeks.
Being greeted by a massive guitar outside of the exhibit entrance was not a bad way to start.

Also outside of the entrance into exhibit entrance was a piano that was gifted to a young Lady Gaga in 1966. Childhood photos adorn the top of the piano.
A large image of Joan Jett greets you as you enter and the "Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power" exhibit is explained.
