Adam Richman: Here at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Museum, why was it decided to put this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame here in Cleveland? Howard Kramer: Because there is no favorite Nations here, I mean Cleveland does have a musical history here, but it's not as dominant as let's say the one in New Orleans or Philadelphia. So we don't have to really serve a particular part of the story. Adam Richman: Right. Howard Kramer: And tell the whole story without doing like we are leaving something behind or over accepting so. Adam Richman: Tell me, is there like an actual mission, because it goes so much deeper than like, let's put as much Rock stuff in one place. Howard Kramer: And the mission here is to educate people by the history of music, where it came from, why it blew up when it did, and all of the music that actually come and contribute to it. [Music Playing] Adam Richman: Was there actually a theme behind the design of this building using a pyramid in that round tower -- Howard Kramer: If you look it at a Plaza from an aerial view it actually is a turn table. The outer planet box in the center of it, is it's a record and a turn table, but this building does have a remarkable energy to it, I mean whether it's visual or -- it is all right here and its really just remarkable and also family friendly, right, I mean. Adam Richman: Oh! Yeah. Howard Kramer: And you always say, families of three generation, you know grand mom, mom and grandson walking through here, looking at the same thing, it's pretty remarkable.
