The surprising tale of Kylie’s hotpants
Aida Amoako explores eleven objects that tell the history of pop music – including Chuck Berry’s Gibson guitar and John Lennon’s Steinway piano.
Despite their rather noble aim to preserve popular music’s history, music museums are often seen as less interesting and less legitimate than the art museum. Since music is intangible, its history is embodied in objects that are used to tell the story of an art form. ‘Star objects’, a term coined by the authors of Curating Pop: Exhibiting Popular Music in the Museum , are artefacts imbued both with the aura of their famous owners and the emotions visitors project onto them. From tour costumes to handwritten lyrics, in the music museum these objects can represent everything from the birth of rock’n’roll to the commercialisation of hip-hop. Here are the stories of 11 star objects on display around the world, offering a glimpse into how both museums and visitors mythologise music history.
Since Kylie Minogue wore these gold lamé hotpants in the video for Spinning Around (2000), they have taken on an iconic status (Credit: Getty Images)
The teeny pair of gold lamé hotpants worn in the video for Spinning Around (2000) caused such a stir that some attributed Minogue’s successful comeback to them. Originally bought for 50p at a flea market by British photographer Katerna Jebb and selected for Minogue by stylist William Baker, the hotpants were donated in 2014 to the Arts Centre Melbourne, which described them as “one of the most identifiable items of contemporary popular culture”. No doubt the rumours – that they’re worth $10m (£8m); that they’re exhibited behind bulletproof glass – have added to their infamy.
Prince was shown riding this Honda in Purple Rain (1984); it was later repainted for Graffiti Bridge (Credit: Alamy)
Replicas in music museums suggest just looking like something a famous musician owned or used is enough to generate authentic excitement. The Museum of Popular Culture in Seattle took the trouble to buy a bike and customise it to look like the Honda used in Prince’s 1984 film. The original, from which Prince smoulders at us on the cover of the Purple Rain album, was built and customised by Lowriders by Summer in Minnesota and had a low seat for the musician’s diminutive frame. It’s no longer purple after being painted black and gold for 1990’s Graffiti Bridge, the lesser-known sequel to Purple Rain; and went on to be displayed at Prince’s Paisley Park estate.

Think of iconic music and brand collaborations, and no doubt Run-DMC and Adidas come to mind. After the trio released My Adidas, their ode to the shelltoes and to the kids who got called ‘thugs’ for wearing them without laces, thousands of fans at a Madison Square Garden show took off their trainers and held them in the air – the company then offered them a million-dollar sponsorship, the first of its kind. With that gesture a pair of white trainers became forever associated with both hip-hop’s street style and its commercialisation.
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page – pictured in 1975 – commissioned a suit decorated with oriental dragon motifs that tied into his interest in astrology (Credit: Getty Images)
Page wore a slinky embroidered black silk crepe jacket and velvet trousers known as the ‘dragon suit’ – made by a woman from Los Angeles named Coco – during Led Zeppelin’s live performances from 1975 to 1977. The guitarist, who is famously interested in astrology and the occult, asked Coco to personalise the flared trousers with star signs that had special meaning for him. An embodiment of both the creativity and excess of those days, the suit appeared in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Play It Loud exhibition.
John Lennon gave Yoko Ono a white Steinway baby grand for her birthday in 1971; the piano featured in their video for Imagine (Credit: Alamy)
Although a white Steinway baby grand – that Lennon gave to Yoko Ono for her birthday in 1971 – featured in the video for their song Imagine, it was another piano that deserves recognition. Lennon composed most of the song Imagine in a single session on an upright Steinway piano. Built in Hamburg, the Steinway was marked by Lennon with two burns from a cigarette, and George Michael paid £1.67m ($2m) for it in 2000 as he felt the piano should be displayed in Liverpool. He lent it to the Beatles Story Museum, but the piano has also travelled to Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas to mark the 43rd anniversary of US President Kennedy’s assassination.
Although its initials stood for Country, Bluegrass and Blues, CBGB became a famed venue of punk rock and new wave bands like The Ramones, Patti Smith Group and Talking Heads
The club that stood in New York’s East Village and boasted habitués including the New York Dolls, Blondie, and the Runaways had three awnings over three decades. Rumour has it the original was stolen in 1988 by the band Jodie Foster’s Army. Derek Bushong, CBGB’s former manager, told Gothamist he found the second awning, which hung until 2003, near the dustbins. It was supposed to go to the Hall of Fame in Cleveland but was never sent so he kept it. It eventually sold for $30k (£23k).The third CBGB awning hung until 2006 when the club closed. This one was installed at the Hall of Fame in 2010.
Chuck Berry recorded Johnny B Goode on his Gibson; the song was partly autobiographical, about an illiterate ‘country boy’ who might one day have his ‘name in lights’
Chuck Berry used this semi-acoustic guitar to record Johnny B Goode (1958), which features what has been credited as one of the greatest intros in rock’n’roll history. The guitar was also used to record many of Berry’s early hits including Maybellene and Roll Over Beethoven. The Gibson appeared in early promotional photographs and was Berry’s main guitar from 1957 to 1963. It was on show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Play It Loud exhibition – in the book accompanying the show, authors Brad Tolinski and Alan Di Perna suggest the ES 350-T was “particularly well suited to Berry’s gyrations”.
Since AC/DC’s lead guitarist borrowed a blazer from his nephew Sam for a 1973 gig, he’s worn school uniform outfits on stage (Credit: Getty Images)
What is now one of the most iconic images in rock history actually started out as a joke. For a 1973 gig, AC/DC’s lead guitarist borrowed a blazer from his nephew Sam, who attended the same school he had dropped out of aged 15: Ashfield Boys High School in Sydney. His brother Malcolm wanted to overhaul the band’s image ahead of an important gig and so all the band were dressed up. But only Angus got the seal of approval, with his sister Margaret persuading him to perform in a full uniform – and he has ever since.
For the cover of its first issue, Rolling Stone picked a still of John Lennon in the 1967 film How I Won the War (Credit: Getty Images)
The magazine celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017 with an exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but one exhibit that had already been there was its first issue, published in November 1967. It cost 25 cents and featured a publicity image of John Lennon playing a British soldier in Richard Lester’s black comedy How I Won the War. The cover image was picked just two days before the issue went to print and was called a “fortuitous accident” by founder Jann Wenner, who thought the image encompassed “music, movies and politics” which is what the magazine wanted to discuss.
Janis Joplin asked a roadie to paint the mural on her Porsche (Credit: Alamy)
Joplin paid $3560 for the used ‘dolphin grey’ car in 1964 and gave her roadie a princely budget of $500 to create a psychedelic mural of star signs, mushrooms, butterflies called The History of the Universe. The car was so recognisable that fans would see it and leave notes for the singer under the wipers. In fact, its distinctive design was how Joplin’s road manager John Cooke spotted it in a motel parking lot and went on to find Joplin dead from an overdose in her motel room. After Joplin’s death, the car slowly found its way to her siblings, who at first restored the original grey paint job, but in the 90s had Joplin’s artwork replicated. The Porsche spent 20 years at the Rock Hall in Cleveland, and was sold at auction for $1.76m (£1.2m) in 2015.
Janet Jackson’s military outfit – worn for her 1989 album Rhythm Nation 1814 – sparked fashion trends (Credit: Alamy)
Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation outfit
Who can forget the super-cinched waist and the hoop earring with the dangling key? Bill Whitten is to thank for the iconic military ensemble which she wore to promote her classic 1989 album Rhythm Nation 1814. Whitten is also the man behind Janet’s brother Michael’s single white rhinestone glove. He dressed Neil Diamond (who discovered him working in a custom shirt business called Workroom 27) and the Commodores; he made Elton John a denim suit and put Stevie Wonder in dashikis. The Rhythm Nation outfit, especially the earrings and baseball cap, sparked fashion trends and was exhibited at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Minogue said she "couldn't believe" the public reaction to the news
Minogue's new single is a collaboration with Years & Years singer Olly Alexander
Singer Kylie Minogue has confirmed she is moving back to Australia after 30 years of living in the UK.
She told BBC Radio 2's Zoe Ball she "couldn't believe" the public reaction to the news.
But Minogue said she will "always" want to regularly visit the UK after she moves back to the country of her birth.
She said: "I've had friends call me, my friend at my local restaurant was like: 'Kylie, what do you mean? You can't go'."
"I said: 'I'm not really going. I've lived here for 30 years, I'm always going to be back."'
The 53-year-old said she does not think "too much will change" after her move as she will come back often.
"I can't not be here, are you kidding?" she said. "I have spent a lot of time with my family this year in Australia and it felt really good and I have been talking about that for a while. Don't worry, I will not be a stranger."
Minogue also discussed the possibility of going on tour again. "I'm dreaming of doing dates," she told the Radio 2 breakfast show host.
"We are inching closer to being able to do something like that. Patience. I can't wait."
Minogue added: "Keep your disco outfit not too far away. Not at the back of the cupboard."
The singer's new single A Second To Midnight, is a collaboration with Years & Years star Olly Alexander, who recently starred in Channel 4 drama It's a Sin.
"We shot the video a couple of weeks ago, which was super fun and I just can't wait for people to hear this," she said. "[Alexander is] so sweet and gorgeous".
Minogue, who shot to fame after appearing in soap opera Neighbours, has had a hugely successful pop career with hits including Love At First Sight, Can't Get You Out of My Head, Slow, I Should Be So Lucky and Spinning Around.
