Lightning Bugs: Conversations with Ben Folds

Greg Harris - Why Museums Exist and the Collective Experience of Media


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Greg Harris, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Greg has had an impressive career - as the co-founder of a successful vinyl record store, the Vice President of Development at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, and now as the leader of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 

Greg and Ben crossed paths in 2014 during Ben’s efforts to save RCA Studio A in Nashville from demolition. Out of the blue, Greg wrote an amazing letter of support that got lots of attention all over the country and helped turn the tide for his cause. 

In this episode, we talk about how museums extend past just the physical objects within them, the ways music connect us together as a collective experience, and how museums should look just as much to the future as they do to the past.
