You can take a trip to one place that is significant to rock and roll. Where do you want to visit?
I'm thinking Abbey Road Studio is where I want to go. Or Liverpool.

I think it would be the Beatle tour of Liverpool for me.
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

Liverpool...shithole of the north?....i'll give that one a miss thank you.
joke: why does the Mersy run through Liverpool?
ans: because if it stood still it would get mugged!
been to Abbey Road...very unassuming place considering the history of the place,i did get the hairs on the back of my neck stand up crossing the crosswalk though...yes i did it barefoot just like Macca.
my next place i want to visit is Graceland, "The house Of Cash",though i wouldnt be able to get in now,its own by one of the Gibb brothers i believe and fire destroyed most of the original home so its not the same?, Sun Studios, Buddy Holly/John Cash graves, Nashville.
Music Heads house could be deemed a historic rock 'n' roll place to some

you humble me my friend.
I expect you to swing by on your way to Graceland, which I have visited when I was a kid.
After yoiur visit, I'm sure my home would indeed be historic.
For me, although not very historic in terms of longevity, I believe the rock 'n roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland would be a worthy trip.

I'd quite like to sit in the Woodstock field on a sunny day for a few hours.

A friend of mine went to see Jim Morrison's grave. When she got there, she found bikers and hookers at the grave site - all smashed out of their heads. Riders on the Storm indeed.....
