Rock & roll fantasy
Items from legends up for auction on Web site
For sale are 'Hard Day's Night' suit worn by John Lennon (above) and self-portraits by Michael Jackson (below).
If you ever wondered how Michael Jackson sees himself, you can get an answer Saturday.
A sprawling rock 'n' roll auction will sell off a series of eight pencil sketches of Jackson that the King of Pop drew himself, apparently in the 1980s.
His look ranges from Liza Minnelli to a cartoon character out of The New Yorker. The minimum bid of $2,500 had already been submitted to http://www.itsonlyrocknroll.com as of late yesterday.
Fans of other music greats can browse through 1,239 other exotic and esoteric items — including a handwritten letter from Bob Dylan to the late Jerry Garcia asking Garcia to play on a tribute record for country pioneer Jimmie Rodgers.
Dylan assures Garcia he doesn't have to yodel, but that he can if he wants.
Bids for an Apple Records dartboard given to Elton John by John Lennon start at $2,500, and a private concert by the Jack Bruce Power Trio runs a minimum of $220,000 — plus standard band expenses.
The item that had drawn the most interest as of late yesterday was a 1968 steno notebook in which Bruce Springsteen wrote the lyrics to 19 songs he never recorded. Its price was at $40,577.25.
Other Springsteen items were expected to sell for somewhat less, including a 1981 promotional bowling shirt with a minimum bid of $200.
Alternatives for those on a tighter budget include a signed Keith Richards promotional coffee mug. The starting bid was $60.
A series of vintage concert posters had bids of up to $10,000, with early action heavy on a poster of a concert at New York's Singer Bowl with the Who and Jimi Hendrix.
Among the small handful of nonrock items going under the gavel is Lauren Doner's 4-by-8-foot abstract oil painting "Vagina," featured in an episode of "Sex and the City."
Kristin Davis' Charlotte character spent the episode wondering if she were the model. Bids are being taken through 11 p.m. Saturday.
Groovy & going, going, going ...
