Looks like the most expensive certified neck brake I have ever seen.

They pay for rock n roll memorabilia. The feeling of owning something that belonged to Gary. I think many things from the hay days of rock n roll will be as collectable as say things from the Wild West or something from the Titanic. These times will never come again. We have already sailed past them (and we are so lucky to have lived through them). They will be remembered the same way as people think of the renaissance. The looks, the sounds, the hair styles, the smoking of cigarettes, the drinking, the shagging, the totally outrageous living, the too early deaths of many stars, the fast driving or real cars (gasoline, not electric).
 

The future will be sanitized beyond belief and run by AI. Most people will use AI daily to decide which music to listen to and what to wear. Ai will make the music and the movies, tv-series. Goverments will use systems like face recognition, electronic ID's, implanted chips etc to controll and follow everything humans do.  People will be sad, lazy and comfortable. Dreaming of better days, when people were truly free, will be all that is left. Owning memorabilia, of any kind, will be like owning art. As much of what is produced today will be forbidden to produce in the future. You will be forced to eat bug sallad and drink artificial vitamin juice.

Was it necessary to say all that? It‘s supposed to become true.
