Oh I have never seen it!! It sounds interesting and sad!
I must watch one of these days! Thanks!
As for the museum, it is closed. I mean it is so sad cause we will never get to see it and wander around it's rooms, I think there were three huge ones or something.
I did read an article that I found interesting, I have to find it again, that explained the "bad" and "good" part of closing it down (for lack of better words). The "bad" part mainly was that other people would not be able to enjoy it and the "good" was mainly it was money problems and I remember the article describing it sorta "creepy" (probably not right word again...7am here just woke up...), but you would go into rooms and stare at these articles that hide owned-pencils he wrote with as a kid, his guitars, maybe a sheet of paper he wrote on, stuff like that.
Some no doubt very personal to him and it seems kinda "snoopy " to be standing there reading maybe what he didn't want read or just staring at his clothes or something. Mind you there was like a glass infront so you couldn't like touch anything, maybe the statues and his car...Just stare.
I mean the poor guy was probably like turning bright red in heaven when they started building the museum, other angels poking him, teasing him, "Look hide there is a
whole building dedicated to you!!"
hide-"Wah! I don't even understand, I wasn't that important!!!"
I love hides modesty!

That is why I write his name in lower case: once hide requested that people did not capitalize his name when written in English, he said he "wasn't a big deal."
But after his death and after he saw all those fans maybe he changed his mind...
I want a hide plushie!!

Does anyone have one?? I know you can get them on ebay...Or a poster...I wish we had more stores around here that sold stuff like that. Maybe I have to look more. Maybe we do...
Dutch Baka: Thank you and I am happy you thought it was nice to read! hide had a very beautiful heart and he was very kind.
He did a bone marrow transplant a few times and I heard that hurts a lot. I mean it would seeing them have to go into your bone...He also gave his blood (imagine being one of the people he gave to, that would be awesome in a way!) and X were big supporters in helping with Aids.
