QUICK TAKES - March 7, 2009
Seeking something fresh and exciting to complement its upcoming induction ceremony, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has gotten its fondest wish: the cooperation of 1999 inductee Bruce Springsteen in launching a new exhibit solely dedicated to the Boss.
The hall on Friday announced plans to open the exhibit “From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen” on April 1, three days before the hall holds its induction ceremonies in Cleveland. Featuring various memorabilia from Springsteen, the exhibit is expected to run through the spring of 2010.
Jim Henke, the rock hall’s curator, says the Springsteen exhibit may be the most extensive exhibit on a rock star ever done at the hall. Previous exhibits have focused on the lives and careers of John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Ray Charles.
Springsteen has provided various guitars, including the one he holds on the cover of “Born to Run.” The exhibit also will have scrapbooks and notebooks in which Springsteen wrote many song lyrics.
