New Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Exhibit on Music Vs. Politics

May 19, 2016 Alan Cross 0 Comments

The new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit, “Louder than Words,” explores the space where music intersects with politics. The Hall describes it like this: “[The exhibit] will showcase the intersection between rock and politics” and “explore how artists exercise their First Amendment rights, challenge assumptions and beliefs, stimulate thought and effect change.”
