Interested in seeing Michael Jackson s famous Beat It jacket or Elvis apparel from Viva Las Vegas?
Music fans will find those fascinating items as well as an entire collection of musical memorabilia at the new Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana in Gary.
Giovanni Taliaferro, the Director of Memorabilia Design for Hard Rock International, gave a guided tour of music memorabilia tied to the Jackson family on Wednesday.
The casino, which officially opens Friday, houses more than 170 pieces of memorabilia, including costumes, instruments, hotel registers, various documents and much more.
During a recent memorabilia tour, Giovanni Taliaferro, who is the director of marketing for Hard Rock International, said the memorabilia housed at the Hard Rock all has a story. And much of that story revolves around Gary natives The Jacksons.

Jason Hedin has traveled the world and cooked with celebrity chefs like Laurent Gras at Chicago’s L20 and in Australia with Dan Hunter. Now, as the pandemic forced him from his kitchen at River North’s Joy District, Hedin readies to embark on an unusual new undertaking. He’s the opening chef at Council Oak Steaks and Seafood, the 100-seat restaurant that opens on Thursday, May 14 with the rest of Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana in Gary.
A casino doesn’t exactly follow the description painted by health experts of a pandemic-friendly environment where outdoor dining and social distancing have been stressed. But Hedin says he’s comfortable with the casino’s HEPA filters and a state-of-the art filtration system. Gary’s pandemic capacity rules mirror Chicago’s at a 50 percent limit per room.

My father was a wise man in many ways, but he got it wrong when he sternly told me one afternoon while in my teen years, that rock n roll will never pay the bills! My devouring of artist biographies and books about music history seemed a waste to him, when there were text books gathering thick layers of dust in my room.

After 40-plus years of working in the music industry in a variety of ways as a publicist, album annotator, band manager, radio host/producer, night club DJ/Music Director, booking facilitator, and event management, etc. I have managed to pay the bills (mostly!), despite dad s warning.
