No One Gives A Shit About Liberace

Dump to be shuttered soon.
Another reason Tea Partiers are uneasy. Their cultural heritage is going away when they go.
A singular landmark since its opening in 1979, the two-building spread topped by a skyward sculpture of a keyboard contains thousands of artifacts from the career of its namesake, who once reigned in the Strip's showrooms by pounding sonatas out of rhinestone-encrusted pianos while donning outlandish sequined capes.

The museum is operated by the Liberace Foundation, whose board chairman announced plans for closure today and said his organization would narrow its focus to raising money for the music scholarships it has awarded for decades. More than 30 employees will lose their jobs.
In thirty yrs. not only will no one give a shit, they won't even have vague memories of Liberace. Hell, we'll probably have forgotten him by then.

They'll still be watching Bugs Bunny and wondering about the "my brother George" shit and somebody will explain it.

(We still don't get "I'm only three & a half yrs. old.")
