Entry: The $200 Million Used Mercedes Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_200_million_used_mercedes#10064 Post contents: Tell Mercedes I have a collection of the most perfect Michelangelo and Raphael drawings extant. If you have true aesthetic sensibilities, you will pay me $15 million knowing that they are, indeed, perfect: perfect copies, of course. But even as perfect copies, they easily transcend 90% of what is being produced today. Unfortunately, some of your friends prefer crap and are willing to pay millions for it: a shark in formaldehyde [sounds fishy to me...]; blasphemous crap only Noo Yawkers would look at twice; and all the other serious, post-modern graffiti for which Pablo, Jackson, and others can claim credit. Sure, Pablo was honest; he made similar statements every so often; but he kept on producing crap that idiots still admire. All that we see today just doesn't measure up to the empire style of Napoleonic France even though we have an empire. As for Teddy's book, well, what else is new? I am certain I will not buy it just as I have not purchased Bill or Hillary's or Newt's or Nancy Reagan's or any of 'em. I see copies for a buck or two and I have no trouble leaving them there. And don't worry about the "mists of time"; my experience tells me that time eventually reveals all truths. Sent at: 2008 07 04
