BS: Dallas Auction Results

Although it was "in conjunction with" the 27th Annual Dallas Guitar Show and Music Fest, I think the "Icons of 20th Century Music Auction" is pretty much fan mag stuff, hence the BS.

A very brief report in my local news rag (The Wichita Eagle) reports that at the auction Saturday (April 17, 2004):

Elton John's antique piano sold for $164,500.

Guitar owned by Kurt Cobain during his early days with Nirvana - $117,000.

John Lennon's 1975 "Grammy Presenters Medal" - $8,225.

Two dress shirts worn by Elvis Presley - $1,225 each.

Now you'll know, next time you go shopping.
