Living Murderabilia or Pop Art?: Michael Alig's Seamless Transition Into the Gallery World 

That’s your take away? Yes heroin addicts for some reason seem to be preserved in some way but his insides are ugly and evil. Don’t praise someone who is profiting off if murder!!!!

-AngelGr- it wasn't that funny

No he’s not moving on. He’s trying to profit from a lifestyle that lead to murder. He killed Angel and how does that family feel knowing he is promoting his “art”? Nobody would know who he was if he didn’t go to prison for murder, he would have fizzled away into oblivion years ago

​@@firstnamelastname6193 Yes the vast majority of people attempting to move on in life require capital to do so. Especially when one has spent a portion of their life paying their debt to society. Whether one likes his past decisions or not, he paid his debt to the society that set the parameters of said punishment. If that wasn't enough in your opinion, then work on changing the law. There is absolutely nothing he can do at this point to ever right the wrongs of his past so, I'd much rather see him being a tax paying productive member of society as opposed to a parasite living off the system. And how he became relevant is irrelevant. I disagree that the murder put his name on the map. Many knew of him way before the murder given the amount of times he spent on talk shows, setting up parties and meeting influential people. But we can ignore all that.

He didn't serve enough time and should never have gotten out.

@bobbie hall drugs pretty much sell themselves, I don't think that Angel was begging people to buy them and he sure didn't deserve to die that way. Maybe Michael would still be alive today if he had never gotten out.

He doesn't deserve peace.

Every person deserves peace. The universe (god) doesn’t hold grudges. Michael paid his debt.

@@mselbit funny how they completely overlooked he BRUTUALLY killed a man. If the public new what they REALLY did to his dead body i prom you they wouldn't be taking up for him. Don't forget after they had their sick fun with the body. They let it rot in the tube for 2 weeks!

@@missumenimsatanass people ignore the One Who makes the rules. In Hebrew, it is termed "din"---judgement/ justice.

I'm pretty sure the the way it turned out would've been his preference if asked.

No he probably wouldn’t. He was still getting mass quantities of heroin in prison which is why he was thrown into solitary for so long. He would’ve died of an OD anyway I’m sure.

Reverend Flashback Even though I don't have anything necessarily good to say about Michael Alig, I agree with you. These comments are support for him none-the-less. Bad publicity is still good publicity. It's exactly like the Kardashians. If you really wanted them to disappear, you'd be ignoring them.

Ray Martinez it was 17 years served. That was plenty.

17

@@NautiParrot Nope dont think so a person that killed someone in " self defense" doesnt shoot up the body wih draino and proceed to hack it into pieces in the Hudson River. Repulsive truly sick narc psychopath vile creature..drug addict con artist.. Bullshit zero redeeming qualities

@@margaretgordy5390 calm down. Michael is dead.

It still made it's mark. And it gave us Rupaul.

He's no Andy Warhol. He didn't do a "Fraction" of what Andy did. Attending Studio 54, rubbing shoulders with Jackie O., attending a Kennedy Wedding and being a Backstage Guest at The Victory Tour with The Jacksons. Also he didn't do a Book where he Wrote the Hot Tea & Shade about folks.

So all Andy did was go to parties with other people of note there and wrote a book about others? Sounds like a true genius........

+SoulsurferWhit32 what? yea it's Warhol hackabilia. What a joke

Plaza Queen isn't that what Warhol was? a joke? a rip off to mainstream

you know warhol wasn't the only pop artist right...also pop art kinda goes like that, style appropiation from commercial ,pop culture icons

@@reverendflashback7150 Yeah, he intentionally co opted popular cultures icons & turned them into trash art. Brilliant wasn't it? Now people are co opting HIS crap!!! Full circle yes? Edit. Gah! I swear I didn't see sleepndraws comment. Well brilliant minds & all that...

Tabitha Alvarez haha thank you, but I meant the elevator music sounding one at the veeery very end. I found it though, Aisha Duo - Amanda. :-)

Who was the 4th??

@@craigg5410 Daniel Auster, he just died of an overdose while out on bail after his infant daughter died of a heroin overdose.

You mean, Freeze?

Ryan Dunlap Justin? he's a nice guy love seeing him in the ocean spray commercials.

Bunny Munro I'm hoping he was being sarcastic.

OD on Christmas Eve 2020 lake of fire for Alig for the ages

He’s dead man, kinda easy for him to fade away now
