When Times Square Was Sketchy as Hell...

Times Square. Basically... it’s a s**tshow. A Bubba Gumpified, Naked Cowboy-y s**tshow. But it used to be different. Early-’80s different. Sex-shops-and-back-alley-peep-shows different. And thankfully, a photographer named Bill Butterworth took over 200 pictures of that stuff. And put them in a book. Thanks, Bill Butterworth.

The moral of the story: that same distillery just opened an online shop full of leather flasks, Aztec chocolate bitters and whiskey-aging barrels. That’s your cue, by the way.

Rock Stars’ Stuff. Now Your Stuff.
BID AND PLAY

Rock Stars’ Stuff. Now Your Stuff.

Roger Waters once had a Fender guitar. Mick Jagger once had a tambourine. And Kurt Cobain once wore a Sonic Youth T-shirt during his last live performance ever. Turns out, those things are at Bonhams now. And you’re about to bid on them. Or not. Your call.
