I reread this and realized just how obnoxious it sounds. Sorry!
I just meant that $650,000 for a famous person’s car is a lot of money, that could have been used for something a bit more charitable.

I took the music for granted until 1999 when Pharaoh Monch sampled a piece of more dramatic incidental music with the “porkarina” in it. I realized I had no idea what instrument it was. my best guess has been either a hurdy gurdy or a harmonica in the lowest key ever made. but probably wrong.

I found this because I was looking at a funny editorial cartoon that depicted Bigfoot, and to me he bore more than a passing resemblance to Gerald Ford.

and here’s the cartoon that started it all, lol:
