Grateful Dead Items Auctioned

Posted in Music, News on the May 9, 2007

Ever wanted to own a guitar played by Jerry Garcia?  Now is your chance.  Tuesday items were auctioned off to the tune of more than $1.1 million dollars.  That’s a lot of guitar picks.  The psychedelic rock band started in the mid-1960’s, sweeping San Francisco by storm, and eventually the country.  I guess that is why people were paying thousands of dollar’s for memorabilia from the band.  “Overall it was a very good sale,” said Margaret Barrett, director of the entertainment memorabilia department at Bonhams and Butterfields. “I think the bidders were excited.”

I’m not a collector, so I can’t really say, but $20,000 for a worn out guitar strap sounds a bit crazy to me.  Even worse is the guitar that sold for over $300,000.  Just buy a new one, it will play better.  I suppose I don’t have the respect I should for such a legendary band, but really, I don’t care.
