Curating the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The WaPo has an interview with the curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Interesting facts:

The artists these days have become so aware of the value of their collectibles that some of the bands keep an archivist on their staff.

Bob Dylan is the artist they've had the hardest time getting donations from.

Some artists, like Green Day, demand and get private afterhours tours of the museum, while others -- unnamed -- just go in and mingle with the riffraff.
