So what better way to celebrate the fourth of July than to visit an exhibition on Rock 'n' Roll at the Fondation Cartier (pour l'art contemporain)? This was pretty sweet, and I kindiv wish I grew up in the 40s- the music was wicked wild. The exhibition mainly consisted of a time lime that integrated American history, world history, and the history of rock from 1939-1959. Every 5 feet there was a booth with headphones that allowed you to sample different tunes from the time, such as hits by Elvis , Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Carl Perkins. It was tight. As for yesterday night... it was pretty lame. I headed to the only American Bar I know (Harry's New York Bar) but was sadly disappointed by the crowd. There was a large group of tourists and a bunch of middle-aged peeps. The closest thing to fireworks were the flashes of digital cameras. Nonetheless, I still had a good time with my host brother and three of his best friends. His friends are hilarious.
