Embracing your inner roadie
There may not be a better way to celebrate the financial success of adulthood than indulging in adolescent fantasies. How better to let friends and family know that you are having a midlife crisis than purchasing and wearing a vintage, "Who the F--- are the Rolling Stones Anyway?" T-shirt for $800? This is a T-shirt that was handmade and sold by a real roadie. Its value is guaranteed to go up; it's practically a financial investment.
The Christie's Annual Rock and Pop Memorabilia Auction on November 30 features loads of well preserved goodies. Other highlights include Led Zeppelin and Yardbirds T-shirts, a baseball signed by The Beatles and a signed Jimi Hendrix album, Axis: Bold as Love.

The headlining item of the auction is a Hank Williams songbook with handwritten lyrics to 10 unrecorded songs. Christie's is touting Williams as the "Hillbilly Shakespeare." It is unclear whether fans of the country music and rock 'n' roll icon will be angered or thrilled by this description.

The auction will take place on November 30 at Christie's Rockefeller Galleries. New York City, are you ready to rock?
