I have a guitar signed by Tommy Emmanuel. The bidding start s at $1 million. Freep mail me if you are interested. 😎
$12 million for the Kerouac manuscript. I bet Kerouac didn’t make a tenth of that over his lifetime.
I don’t believe musicians are selling their guitars. Drum heads need replaced, but guitars are personal.
Most of the stuff was probably worth it but Kerouak? Big waste of money. You might as well buy the original manuscript of Obama’s biography.
I got through high school in the 60’s and college in the 60-70’s without even knowing who Jack Kerouac was. I don’t know if that means I had a bad education or a good one. Years later I was “shamed” into reading On The Road after a lively game of “Who am I?” with some friends.
I thought it was a pretty stupid book that had not aged well 15 years on.
He should’ve taken it with him.
High School in the 70s.
Entire English department was washed up beatniks.
Yeah, Kerouac was a required book.
