Reliving Lennon’s Legacy at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Annex By Brittany Mayne
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex in Soho is currently featuring a
John Lennon exhibit that is a necessity for any Lennon fan to see.
Upon entering the exhibit, patrons walk into the all-white room across
a sticky mat to remove dirt from the shoes. On the walls hang four
projection screens playing interview and concert footage of John
Lennon and Yoko Ono’s New York City years. On the floor, several
glass cases containt handwritten lyrics to about a dozen songs
including God and Working Class Hero. Also displayed are press kits,
guitars, deportation letters, and his famed New York City t-shirt.
Seeing these rare and never before seen artifacts breathe a whole new
life into Lennon’s legacy and his message of social change and peace.
It almost didn’t seem real to be looking instruments which he used to
write legendary songs, or the clothing he’d worn in countless iconic
photographs. It was invigorating to see a part of history that I can
relate to; the symbols left behind by a musical genius brought too
soon to his death.
Admission to the Lennon exhibit also grants access to the entire
museum, which is a worthwhile experience in itself. The visit starts
out with a short movie about the history of rock and roll, which is
sort of a surround sound and sight experience. The artifacts
themselves include iconic clothing such as Elvis’s jumpsuit,
handwritten lyrics by Jerry Garcia, dozens of guitars including a Jimi
Hendrix Fender, and even David Byrne’s big suit from Stop Making
Sense. So, if you’re ever in the neighborhood, check it out for a
blast through rock and roll history.
