Another Bogus Autograph on Reality TV:

Tonight on AUCTION KING, they had a poem written and signed by Jim Morrison. Seller wanted a thousand bucks. It sold for $2,000. Problem was...writing looked NOTHING like Morrison's. And neither did the signature, which was just slightly in his style.

The guy selling it said he lived in a storage locker when he was homeless for a month, and found it there -- and that he contacted Danny Sugarman (doors manager, longtime friend of band who has…

A Musical "Tribute" to David Crosby

Hi gang,

Yes, I know that most collectors are tired of hearing about how much of a grouch David Crosby is...I've already told my lovely story about meeting him.

However, I decided to channel the talents of Weird Al....and rewrite the CSN classic "Teach Your Children"...about Crosby's grouchiness....enjoy.

 

He, while on the road

Is very cold to his large fanbase

And he must love himself

Because there's never-a right time or…

Andy Rooney Retires -- and talks autographs!

I remember around 1992, doing a bit on the radio where we promised listeners concert tickets if they gave us phone numbers to a celebrity they might know, and we call them and they get on the air.

 

A lot of Padres and Chargers players, as we were in San Diego. One person called w/ Andy Rooney's digits. We called him, and were shocked he answered. He sounded grumpier than the old man in UP, and barked at us "What do you want?" It was a Monday, and we said "We missed what you…
