Elvis Presley's Belongings Auctioned Off
Some of Elvis Presley’s belongings were recently put up for sale.
Among the 200 items auctioned off were a clump of the late legend’s hair, a shirt, records, bathrobes, and scarves.
The hair is reported to have been cut off Elvis’s head in 1958, when he decided to go off to join the army. It was auctioned off for $15, 000, while his shirt went for $52, 000.
The thing to think about is, why was a clump of the rockstar’s hair saved and stashed away for such a long time?
More importantly, why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on things they can’t even use in these trying times?
The current state of the economy certainly doesn’t call for such waste. What use is a clump of hair, or a worn shirt, or any of the other items, when you run out of money because you were too busy blowing it on rubbish?
