The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is getting a major renovation even though the building is barely a decade old.  The remodeling will reshape the interior of the Rock Hall to make it less confusing and improve the audio-video systems to prevent sound bleeding, utilizing modern technology such as MP3 players.  It appears that the exterior will go untouched, as love for the IM Pei glass pyramid abounds.  (Though the pyramid seems familiar for some reason, Rocktations doesn't claim to know anything about architecture, other than this is pretty and this ...not so much.)  Edwin Schlossberg (a/k/a Mr. Caroline Kennedy), head of the firm chosen to handle the redesign, explains his plan:

"I still have to design it, but I can tell you where I want it to go.  ... The idea is changing how things are displayed, to make it less formal, more surprising."

In other words, for $3 million he will do ... whatever it is that he has in his head.  But the goal is clear and admirable: 

"I want there to be more of the feeling in your stomach when you go to a rock 'n' roll concert, rather than having everything laid out as if it were the history of white and blue porcelain from China."

Since the city of Cleveland is dead-level set on redoing the Rock Hall, why not take our advice and include a chocolate river, a juicing room, and a children's ride consisting of a paddle boat, a pitch black tunnel, and an IMAX movie of horrifying images.  Throw in a myriad of orange-faced "little people" singing monotonous songs with terrible rhyming and philosophical child-rearing recommendations that amount to Aesop's fables set to a funeral dirge.  Come on, Cleveland!  Do you want to leave people with a "feeling in the stomach," or what?

But Rocktations is merely a music site, and does not have the ear of Mr. Caroline Kennedy, Mayor Frank Jackson, or even favorite sons Drew Carey and Arsenio Hall.  So if you're heading to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum next year, be prepared for the epitome of modern advancement ... the flashing light from the Borg-like Bluetooth device.
