We learned that Liberace was the son of poor European Italian and Polish immigrants and had a twin brother that died at birth (just like Elvis and my grandfather) and some other stuff that I don't remember.
While the guide was talking we got bored and walked ahead to see Liberace's collection of customized cars, followed by his collection of customized pianos.
It was located in a kind of seedy suburban cul-de-sac, about five blocks from the museum, and had a look of shoddiness to it.

By the early '90s, the network had raised its sense of its own social conscience and saw its role as a political and cultural cluing-in point for youth hungry to be in touch with the broader world.
The network's "Rock the Vote" campaign for youth voter registration was high-profile; Bill Clinton took advantage of the opportunity to reach new young voters, by starring as the sole guest of an MTV election special where teenagers questioned him about his candidacy.
During the 1980s and early 1990s, the network tried to convert its viewers, suggesting to hungry-for-hipness suburban teens that there was something out there cooler and more compelling than their own high school melodramas.
