Chain of Fools

Hey folks!

Any of you ever heard of a little place called Hitsville, USA? Well then make your way on over to this link, and let the musical history wash over you: the Motown Museum. Because we were so much in awe of this magical place, we decided it would be easier to write up a couple of lists.

All the Times We Felt Starstruck
-when we saw Michael Jackson's hat and glove
-when we found out that Paul McCartney had been to the same museum
-standing in Studio A

All the Times We Sang Along
-with the opening film history of Motown
-with the tour guide as we moved through the exhibit
-with the tour group into an echo chamber
-singalong at the reception desk where Diana Ross once worked
-right before the end of the tour when we sang My Girl

All the Times We Wished We Were in the 1960s
-looking at the costumes of the Supremes
-seeing the records hung on the wall
-getting a glimpse of Berry Gordy's apartment

Things that were Just Overall Cool
-how they kept the Baby Ruth candy bars in the same spot so that Little Stevie Wonder could always find his favorite sweet treat
-seeing the couch on which Marvin Gaye used to crash after late nights of songwriting
-the holes worn into the floor by the sound engineers who tapped their feet

We hope that was vague enough to convince you to check out this amazing museum yourselves someday! Thanks to the folks at the Boulevard Cafe & Coney Island for a delicious meal after an incredible tour. You'll find no Chain of Fools in this group of table-sharers.
