Just what every newborn needs: $614,000 rocking horse made of gold
They've already brought a new child into the world and purchased it a $614,000 rocking horse made of gold, so it's only natural that pop culture's favorite 1 percenters now plan to ascend into suborbital space aboard Virgin Galactic and film the mother of all music videos. Or at least that's what record executives are thinking, according to MTV News.
Needless to say, this is an excellent idea. I'm game for any convergence of music and outer space, be it a killer DJ mix or a just a cool Boston album cover. Numerous music videos have already created the illusion of pop stars and rap artists in orbit, so it only seems right that space tourism kick in to give us the authentic experience.
Hey, and the tickets are only $200,000 a pop -- cheaper than a newborn's rocking horse.
But what might that authentic experience consist of? I'm sure everyone has visions of Jay-Z rapping cool and collected as he floats around the SpaceShipTwo cabin while Beyoncé sparkles at his side, singing and looking like a million bucks. But two more probable alternatives come to mind:
