Bing Crosby’s Mansion is Disgusting and Depraved

Bing Crosby is someone who you would think would represent some good aspect of Americana, but really he was just decadent and depraved trash.

New York Post:

After more than 10 years on and off the market, Bing Crosby’s midcentury-modern estate he built in the 1950s has finally sold for $4.15 million.

Orange County businessman Bob Teller and his wife Rita had initially purchased the Rancho Mirage home back in 2005 for $2.62 million. They first listed the property five years later, in 2010, for $3.5 million.

But over a decade later, gliding on and off the market, Wayne Butler & Garret Gray, the tech entrepreneur who recently sold his company Next Gear to Core Logic are the buyers.

Situated on roughly 1.5 acres in the gated community of Thunderbird Heights, the 6,700 square-foot home features six bedrooms and six bathrooms.

There is nothing more repulsive to the normal human sensibilities than the American concept of a single-family mansion.

Yes, the rich used to have mansions – but it was all the extended family living there, dozens of rooms, guests coming in and out. It was a practical thing.

The American concept of the mansion is “I want a really, really big house.”

You see this with the boomers and their McMansions, which are inexplicable, but it was people like Bing who normalized this as an ideal of success – a house that is really big.

What is the purpose of all of this space? Is it for pacing around? It is bizarre.

Bing’s family sold the house in 2005, so it’s presumably been remodeled – I can’t imagine he had all these white walls – but these are the disgusting photos of what it looks like now.

This “I want a really big house so people know I’m important” is the epitome of peak materialism, and it’s been happening for a while in this country.

I’m not burning my Bing Crosby records, but I’ve known for a while that this guy was part of the beginning of the consumerist age of synthetic, sentimental decadence that broke our nation.

People who listen to Bing Crosby are the kind of people who cry when they hear about Jews getting masturbated to death by brain-bashing electric bears.
