Another Slab of the 'Tube
I've been periodically posting some recent YouTube music clippage and have grown to like my role as the invisible VJ. I have even grown a Mark Goodman 'fro, but you can't see it.

THE 100 WORST COVER SONGS
We've already done our 100 Greatest Cover Songs list, so you knew it was only a matter of time before we paid respects to the flip side of the coin. Some of these covers were sincere attempts to make good songs, others are so inexplicably awful that you don't know what the hell they were thinking. Others are clearly meant to be jokes, but it doesn't make them sound any better, even so. We had polled retroCRUSH readers for nearly 2 months and got lots of great responses, and we give deep thanks to all of those who threw ideas our way. We'll be putting a several up each day and should have the entire list posted up shortly, so come back each day!

Top dollar for Dead's skeletons
Grateful fans bid on road manager's memorabilia to tune of $1.1 million. Grateful Dead fans, who have a tough time letting go, were grateful for the chance to shell out big bucks Tuesday in San Francisco for what less enlightened people would call, well, junk.
It wasn't junk, said fans of the defunct rock group. Not hardly.
The stuff on the auction block might look like empty speaker boxes, corroded guitar strings and funky old steamer trunks, but it constituted the genuine and authentic castoffs of the great Jerry Garcia.
So the bidding started high, and it went higher.
One of the empty speaker boxes sold for $1,680. Other empty boxes sold for $1,200 and $900. In the 1970s, they had held speakers in the band's enormous Wall of Sound concert loudspeaker system, but the speakers themselves were long gone.
