DESCRIPTION
The first 20 Los Angeles Circles members who respond to this offer will each get one pair of tickets to the Strange Kozmic Experience exhibit at The Grammy Museum. Note: The one item per month limit applies to this offer.

On April 5, 2010, The GRAMMY Museum will debut its third major special exhibit, Strange Kozmic Experience. Housed on the Museum's second floor, the exhibit will explore the innovations, legacies, and continual impact of the artists who defined a generation: The Doors, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. "Forty years later, the music of The Doors, Joplin, and Hendrix still resonate in rock circles and popular culture, an enduring testimony to the power and freedom of 1960s rock," said Museum Executive Director and music historian Robert Santelli. "Provocative, counter-cultural, and experimental, these artists stirred senses and celebrated personal freedom like never before, so we're pleased to offer fans the rare opportunity to engage with them again in such a personal way."

Rising from distinctly different backgrounds yet united by a common love of the blues and rock and roll, Hendrix, Joplin, and The Doors made music that revolutionized and energized rock's most fertile and provocative period: the 1960s. The untimely deaths of Jimi Hendrix (Sept. 18, 1970), Janis Joplin (Oct. 4, 1970), and Jim Morrison (July 3, 1971), all at the age of 27 and within one year of each other, marked the end of a decade unmatched in free-spirited and experimental creativity.

To this day, the losses are still being felt: Hendrix stands unsurpassed as the greatest electric guitarist of all-time; Joplin's heightened dimension of blues singing has yet to be matched; and never has a band brought poetry and artistic sophistication to blues and rock the way The Doors did. Strange Kozmic Experience will explore how these artists became icons, where they took music, and why their art still resonates.

Bringing together more than 60 diverse artifacts and 30 rare photographs never before displayed together in Los Angeles, the exhibit features holdings from the Doors Music Co, the Morrison and Courson Families, the Janis Joplin Estate, Experience Hendrix L.L.C., Experience Music Project, Jampol Artist Management, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Hard Rock International, and other private collections. On display, visitors will see a wide-ranging array of items, including:

• Joplin's custom-painted 1965 Porsche 356c Cabriolet
• Morrison's never-before-seen journals
• Handwritten lyrics and letters
• Iconic wardrobe pieces
• Original paintings by Joplin
• Instruments used during some of the 1960s most important performances and recordings
• 1960s ephemera, including ticket stubs, concert posters, fan memorabilia
• Instruments and lyrics from blues influencers Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Odetta, Albert King, Howlin' Wolf, and B.B. King
• Photographs from iconic 1960s photographers, Joel Brodsky, Jim Marshall, Elliott Landy, Lisa Law, Eddie Kramer, and more
• Seminal 1960s poster art
• And much more...

Artifacts will be accompanied by an exciting selection of biographical films and archive footage. Archived talk show interviews with The Doors, Joplin, and Hendrix will also be on display, made available with the assistance of the Paley Center for Media.

Public and educational programs related to Strange Kozmic Experience (including a master class on the music of the 1960s) will be announced shortly and will take place throughout the run of the exhibit.

Strange Kozmic Experience will be on display in The GRAMMY Museum's Special Exhibits Gallery — where temporary exhibits will be showcased on a rotating basis — through February 13, 2011, before touring internationally.
