She talks about how she is new to Seattle, and how disappointing her experience her was with the EMP museum.

Jackie chooses to classify the Experience Music Project as a complete failure and a huge let down or a disappointing failure. She goes over the failures and why they are failures by discussing how they don’t help viewers understand the historical developments or historical context, or how jazz paved the way for rock and roll.
