A city supervisor has proposed makeing San Francisco,
home of the GRATEFUL DEAD and JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, the
site of a museum of rock 'n' roll. "People who were
adolescents in the 1960s are now is their 30s and 40s,
and there has been little abatement in their enthusiasm
for rock 'n' roll. Now they have the spending power to
visit such a museum," said Quentin Kopp, who envisions
the museum as a big tourist attraction. He has been
backed by music promoter BILL GRAHAM and mayor DIANE
FEINSTEIN, and now it's just a question of raising the
bucks. "I've always thought of San Francisco as its own
living, expanding museum of the absurd, but it could
be a good community center," said PAUL KANTER, Airplane
cofounder.
