recently some distinguished memorabilia of american culture sold...marilyn's famous subway blown dress, michael's red leather thriller jacket...and the only authenticated photo of billy the kid...marilyn's dress fetched 4.6M, michael's jacket sold for a lowly 1.8M and a florida billionaire paid 2.3M for the photo of william henry mccarty, a.k.a. billy the kid...
we americans love a sex symbol, a pop music star and a gunfighter...these are the shining stars of american culture...or thru the lens of a more critical viewer, a substance abusing floozy, a man attempting to live as peter pan, and a cold blooded murderer...but that may be too harsh...
all three individuals had different, but troubled childhoods...two would eventually change their name, and the other changed his, well...his face and skin pigment...God gave marilyn her looks and michael his performing talent, and perhaps we would say Satan molded billy into a murderer and samuel colt gave him his gun...
extravagant expenditures of money are mostly spent on luxury items...items the rich purchase for satisfaction and pleasure...rarely are these sums of money spent by duty or passion and given to the needy and poor...
we americans love our sex, music and guns...get jenna jameson as a judge on american idol wearing a holstered colt 45 and that would be the highest rated show EVER...anyways...
later from 3rd St.
