And it's Sunday again...


People wear band shirts for a lot of reason. For some because it looked good on Ryan Gosling or Kendall Jenner, while for others it's because they are genuine fans of the artist and the music. But how much would you be willing to spend for a simple piece of clothing? A few years ago, someone apparently bought the Sonic Youth T-shirt that Kurt Cobain wore during Nirvana's 1994 Munich concert for $25,000. It is one of the highest recorded publicly purchased band shirt to date. If you have one of these tees hanging around in the back of your closet, you could be in the money. But please, do not wear a band shirt if you don't own at least one of their albums or have never seen them perform live. Save yourself from embarrassment. Anyway, here's some music.
