A Paul Simon-themed exhibit has opened at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. "Paul Simon: Words & Music" includes over 80 items from the folk legend's career.

"I was very curious to see this Paul Simon exhibit," said longtime friend Graham Nash.

"I think every musician worth his salt is going to want to see how Paul did it.

And one of the things that was so nice about the exhibit is seeing his very first guitar and . . . his progression as a songwriter . . . I think it's going to be very inspiring."

The exhibit is narrated with commentary gathered from hours of filmed interview footage that walks the audience through the personal story of Simon's life and his creative process.
