take me down to the paradise city!

PRESENTING THE MAIN EVENT!!

And thats the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. THE shrine for any rock & roll fan worth any salt at all!! Its a pity they don't allow any photos of any kind to be taken inside to honour the inductees wishes but hey, what Eric Clapton and Nirvana and the Beatles and Guns n Roses and Sting and KISS and ACDC and Queen and Michael Jackson and Aerosmith and the Eagles and so on so forth say goes. No arguments bout that. The place is a frikkin treasure trove!! Guitars from every era from just about every player worth noticing. First recordings and journals with the first scratchings of massive songs on their pages; band biographies, outfits, discographies, tributes, playlists, photographs; psychedelic artwork, vintage gig posters, signature instruments and so much more more more more!!!! Spent 4 hours there and we couldn't even complete it all!! Bout 85% done I'd say. Doesn't matter. I'm coming back again some day.

Could finally take photos downstairs in the lobby. Thats Geri, Yvonne and Pat. And of course me wishing I was George Harrison. Well ok not really considering he's dead.....err you get what I mean

Huge tribute guitars done by some artists. Don't ask me who.


WE BUILT THIS CITY!!

WE BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK & ROLL!!!!!

The girls going David Bowie stlye.....or was that Bob Dylan?

Bloody hell la Pat. We look for directions you chao geng take our backsides.

And of course as with every outing there must be proper documentation of food glorious food. I've been here 3 months but I'm still Singaporean la.

So thats breakfast at Cracker Barrel. No thats only part of it. And that already consisted of magnificent pancakes, cream butter, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, fried apples, bacon, ham, grits oats and other stuff I can't remember. And then the girls being girls had to go order desert too (desert for breakfast?!?!) so we ended up being stuffed like a turkey on a particularly good Thanksgiving.
For dinner it was some Chinese/Thai restaurant in the tiny little Cleveland Chinatown. But who cares? TOM YUM GOONG!!! Well ok what looks like tom yum goong and tastes a little bit like tom yum goong. But what the hell la. We're in America.




Bye bye guys! Cleveland was fun!! Enjoy the remainder of your work and I'll see you back home! BBQ stingray la :P
