Michael Jackson Auction

The public observed his rise, th public observed his fall. Michael Jacksen, the most famous and most successful solo-act the world has seen is broke (as we all know) and tries to come back on the track with auctioning his most private objects. It´s furniture, artwork, video games, awards and – important for me – his stage costumes which are auctioned.

And while flipping through the auction catalogues, it´s a nostalgic feeling in me.
Don´t you remember some of this outfits?
Don´t you relate them to some of the songs you liked or some shows you´ve seen by the “King of Pop”?

For me, seeing all this stuff it´s like a journey into my youth. When Dangerous was my first album and i became a dream dancer in my room, doing the air guitar together with Slash and dreamt away with the few Love Songs on the album.

It´s unbelievable that´s all coming to an end. The number one hits, the strange appearances in public, the virtuous, but kind of antiquated dance moves. Damn.It´s over.
What stays are the songs, the videos and the memories.

To be honest, despite all pedophile things that correlate with Michael Jackson, i really wish, the end would have been different. More glorious, more fantastic, more artificial.
I´s a real pitty that there hasn´t at least been a huge retrospective travel exhibition to give credit to the one-of-a-kind musician, the genious showman and hisextraordinary designerse.
I really wish i could see the costumes live.
