Live Aid Is 25

In, man I feel old, news, 25 years ago today Live Aid simultaneously erupted in front of hundreds of thousands of fans in two jam packed concert venues as 2 billion viewers tuned in from home. The event raised 300 million dollars for famine relief in Ethiopia, inspired numerous rock for charity efforts and proved rockers have big hearts. It’s widely believed that of all the legends who performed that glorious day Queen stole the show with Radio Ga Ga. I get stage fright just watching it. A vintage Live Aid t-shirt is pretty much the ultimate rock tee. It’s ... Read more

Brace yourselves. This is true and people do this. Even worse, companies actually provide this service. We’ve reported on this type of vintage t-shirt abuse before but the images have never been this disturbing.

Frankly, Mr. Shankly

I stumbled on the above Morrissey Kill Uncle era relics by searching eBay’s top performing vintage t-shirt listings. $150 each with a few hours left before the listing ended… Looks like the 1990s nostalgia bug continues to bite. We reported on the surging Nirvana vintage t-shirt trend a few months back. And Nirvana is to alternative what Morrissey is to indie so it’s no surprise his early 90s tees are now a hot ticket. It’s true, the 1990s are the new 1980s. Like clockwork 90s music swag is experiencing the same eBay action the rock merch of the 80s did ... Read more
