The Indiana Jones of rock history lifts the lid on the wild story of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and his quest to build its collection from scratch--from Ozzy Osbournes country manor to Keith Moons childhood bedroom and Art Garfunkels personal archives--featuring Dylan, Springsteen, Jagger, Aretha Franklin, Debbie Harry, Chuck Berry, and more. nCraig Inciardi was a rising star at Sothebys, wheeling and dealing in rock memorabilia, when he got the call to help launch the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum. The catch? There was no museum. Just a guitar of no importance and three interesting sheets of paper. n nWith a green light and few guardrails, Inciardi hit the road--working out of Rolling Stones offices, answering to Jann Wenner, and chasing down legends for their sacred stuff. His journey took him to Ozzy Osbournes country estate (where Ozzy greeted him with a gun), Keith Moons untouched boyhood bedroom, and Art Garfunkels secret stash of letters from Paul Simon. Along the way, he landed the guitar Pete Townshend used to write Tommy, Otis Reddings leather coat worn before his fatal plane crash, Patti Smiths duct-taped boots, Aretha Franklins handwritten notes, Debbie Harrys stagewear, and John Lennons glasses worn the day he died. n nAnd thats only a fraction of the rock-relic stories on offer. Meanwhile, Inciardi pulls back the curtain on the halls chaotic birth: the cutthroat induction debates, the backstage meltdowns, and the legendary all-star jams with Jagger, Dylan, Springsteen, and more. n nTold with grit, reverence, and a gleeful sense of mischief, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a front-row seat to music history--and the madness behind the museum that almost wasnt.n
