MoPop visit

By Leslie Parks - Friday, June 25, 2021



Music of Pop Culture has had a variety of names over the last twenty years but what has stayed the same is the focus on the music industry.   With hundreds of guitars and many other instruments that make up this larger than life sculpture it pays tribute to how the music scene has shaped Seattle or vice a versa.  It pays tribute to both Nirvana and by extension Kurt Corbain and also Jimi Hendrix.  Though Jimi Hendrix preformed more in the UK than ever in the US which was quite surprising.  Job and I wandered through various exhibits including the Indie Game Revolution and also the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.  We picked out some of our favorite science fiction writers and wondered why others were omitted.  they also had props from science fiction tv shows and movies which were fun to see.  The Indie Game Revolution room had video games to try that were created by independent game developers.  It was interesting to see what was being tried, which ones had draws and lines to try out.  while there a family approached Job asking him all about the Coast Guard since he was wearing a Coast Guard hoodie.  He answered questions politely and I think the dad may have been more interested in it than the daughter.  Or she may have been embarrassed that he approached Job and started talking to him.  I am that parent for sure.  After a couple of hours I was done, having a bit of sensory overload at the museum.
