We Built this City on Rock n' Roll

This post was mainly created to make Skyler, my little brother, jealous. I told him about the gang's rock n' roll day in London, and he wanted to see some of the pics. So here it is kids. Let's Rock! Let's Rock Today!

Look familiar?

It's the famous Abbey Road.

You'll never know what we went through to take this picture. Traffic hates Beatles tourists! By the way, Pedestrians don't have the right of way in the UK!

There's a wall on the street that Beatles aficionados can sign. There's a ton of Beatles lyrics...

The gang wrote this.

To Hard Rock!!!

Guitars that belonged to Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Two of Sky's favorite guitarists.

An America-shaped Bob Dylan Guitar!

Yeah, Hendrix played that one.

A beauty.

John Lennon's lyric revisions.

SLASH!
This belonged to Madonna... I don't think she's true rock star, but let's give her some credit. She was the first woman musician to control her own music and image. But on the other hand, she might not be a woman... Have you seen those arms??? They are so BUFF!

I got to hold the Oasis guitar!

The Cavern Club-- the Beatles' first venue

The Cavern Club Wall of Fame.

John Lennon said, "if Rock n' Roll had another name, it would be Chuck Berry."

A lot of good ones in this section, but I was really excited to see Sister Rosetta Thorpe. She is rad, and a little less known than the other stars.

This was from inside the Beatles Museum in Liverpool. That is John Lennon's guitar in a model of the rom from the "Imagine" video. The lyrics of the song were on the adjacent wall.

This is me looking like a raggamuffin at the Youth Hostel in Ambleside-- after the gang and I took a dip in the lake.

This crazy guy, George, showed up with some guitars. Before I knew it, someone handed me one, and we were putting on a show for everyone in the bar! I got to play some of my songs! It was a really fun night.

There's a few more things on my rock history to-do list... for example, visiting where Jimi Hendrix lived. Coincidentally, it is right next to where Handel lived two centuries earlier. Two Music legends of different eras lived right on the same block!
