Yeah, we must be talking about the same place in CLeveland OH.  I did see
the Kiss costumes, I'm not a fan of Kiss though.  I do think some of the
exhibits must have changed, as I never saw any of the Who's equipment, or
pieces of The Wall, which would have been really cool.  I did see the wall
of drumsticks, and have a souvenir postcard picture of it, althought all
the sticks are too tiny to appreciate that way.  I did look at all the
signatures on them, etc. thought that was way cool.  I didn't get to see
all the video exhibits as we had to leave early, so I may have must
something substantial, there as you were saying.
Oh well, but I did get a strong impression of some of the cheaper
non-musical aspects of it which was disappointing.  But I guess for a $15
visit, you really can't go wrong if you happen to be in Cleveland. :-)
