How did the collection get started? C. Theories on the origin of our name B. Where did the famous logo come from? D. How it all began The Hard Rock Café 1. ............................ The original Hard Rock Café opened June 14, 1971 in London s Hyde Park. The site of the world-famous eatery was originally an old Rolls Royce showroom in the posh part of London. The first US Hard Rock Café was not opened until 11 and a half years later. The Los Angeles Hard Rock Café opened in October of 1982. 2. ............................ The idea of the collection first occurred to Eric Clapton, a regular customer at the original Hard Rock Café London: one day he asked if he could hang his guitar on the wall to mark his favourite bar stool as  his spot . They agreed, and shortly afterwards, a package arrived from The Who s Pete Townshend with a guitar and a note bearing the message,  Mine s as good as his! Love, Pete.  3. ............................ Our logo was designed by celebrated British artist Alan Aldridge for the first Hard Rock Café Menu. It was later imprinted on a few shirts when the Hard Rock Café London decided to sponsor a local soccer team. 4. ............................ Although the origin remains a mystery, there are a few theories as to how the Hard Rock Café name came about. One theory says it was the name of the café depicted on The Doors  album Morrison Hotel. Another clains it was part of founder Isaac Tigrett s favorite parable:  We are all born into this world with a big boulder on our shoulder. Every day we chip at it until all that is left is a small hard rock that makes up you!  A similar name, Bedrock Café, appeared on one of Tigrett s favorite cartoons The Flintstones. Now you know the theories, you can decide which one it really was! 6. Macmillan Publishing House is organizing the annual teachers  convention in Milan.
