New Rock And Rock Hall Of Fall Unveiled

Little Richard, Joe Walsh, Ike Turner, Michelle Phillips, Wilson Pickett, George Clinton, Bo Diddley and Peter Wolf joined fellow inductees at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Thursday as the Cleveland, Ohio-based museum celebrated the opening of its newly-remodeled wing.

Providing a completely interactive experience for Hall of Fame visitors, the newly constructed wing officially opened Friday and features three 20-foot-tall movie screens that will roll footage of past induction ceremonies.

In addition, the circular construction will house the world's most extensive juke box (containing more than 20,000 songs), offering museum visitors a more intimate look at Hall of Fame inductees in the form of interviews, animation and still photography. New exhibit cases containing collectibles from the museum's current roster of inductees will also be included, giving what Hall of Fame spokesman Tim Moore says is "a much deeper feeling of who these inductees are."

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
