Reason # 9: Buying Michael Jackson’s Stuff
April 23, 2009
Today I decided I love the recession because I can finally get a piece of my favorite pop star without involving a lawyer. Sort of.
If you buy the vinyl you can have this above your bed, too
I used to play “Moonwalker” on Sega Genises in my underwear with my best friend Erin ever summer, because there’s not a lot to do growing up in the country. Michael Jackson has touched a lot of people like me. His influence is felt everywhere (my favorite example is in Bollywood). Apparently, they don’t have echo effects in studios there, so they have to do it manually.
Now, thanks to the recession, people are finally able to own some of their favorite star’s personal belongings in memorium. Jackson announced that this month he would sell many of his posessions from Neverland Ranch to help dig him out of financial dire straights. Some trinkets you can buy:
- A golf cart, with a portrait of Jackson dressed as Peter Pan on the hood
- Edward’s actual scissor hands
- A life-sized Superman
- The robotic Michael Jackson head from Moonwalker.
Don’t believe me? See the photogallery at The Guardian. If only he would sell back those Beatles album rights.
Own the glove from Billy Jean and help MJ crawl out of debt?
I Love the recession!
