When:
Short story:
It is announced that an urn containing the ashes of 50s deejay Alan Freed, who was credited with popularising the term rock'n'roll, has recently been removed from the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The Museum's executive driector Greg Harris, explains, "The museum world is moving away from exhibiting remains," arguing that ashes don't help tell a story. The rest of Freed's exhibit in the museum remains in place.
