I Was Supposed To See Ringo This Weekend But C*vid, Etc., So I Went To The Get Back Exhibit In The Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame: A Photoessay Of Bad Photos, Pt. 1
My first impression was like SHEESH this is massive!!!! It’s truly enormous and very imposing and also kind of silly looking. I got there around 10:30 so I assumed it wouldn’t be too crowded—absolutely not!!!!! I’d forgotten it was Father’s Day and the dads were truly on parade, out and about and wearing their Led Zeppelin tees and their cargo shorts.
I made a beeline for the Bugs (which was tough because it was truly packed and is laid out like the Minotaur’s maze) and found their general section!!! Seeing the Strawberry Fields mellotron took my breath away, tbh
The Asher family piano!!!! Imagining that Jane was like “l’m getting anything that wh*re has touched out of my house, if you don’t take it it’s firewood”
John’s 1958 Hofner Senator and passport!!! Look at that little hooligan!!!! 😭😭😭😭
John’s 1964 Rickenbacker, which still has the set list for their 1966 tour tapes to the back, and the cutest poster for their show at the Casanova Club. When I was checking the details of this guitar online I found an article about it that says “Naturally, since it was played by John Lennon, the guitar picked up some character along the way.” DRAG HIM!!!!!!
