This guy just keeps doing it over and over again.  His new album titled ‘Western Stars’ is his 20th top 10 album on Billboard 200.  His first top 10 album was Born to Run wayyyy back in 1975.   He’s on a list of 10 other groups that have had 20 or more top 10 albums:

The Rolling Stones – 37

Barbara Streisand – 34

The Beatles – 32

Frank Sinatra – 32

Elvis Presley – 27

Bob Dylan – 22

Madonna – 22

George Strait – 21

Elton John – 20

Paul McCartney/Wings – 20

Oh man this is really really gross so I had to post it. Elvis Presley’s disgustingly soiled underwear are going up for auction in England next month. These undies were worn in 1977 when Elvis was NOT the hottie everyone loved. The auction house thinks they’ll get about $15,000 to $16,000 for them. GROSS!

December 3 and 4 in Beverly Hills will be a fun place to be. Juliens Auctions are auctioning off some pretty amazing shit and if I had a bunch of money, I’d be there. Check out what you can get:

*X-rays of Albert Einstein’s head
*A costume made for Bubbles, Michael Jacksons pet chimp
*John Lennon self portraits
*Guitar played by both John Lennon and Elvis Presley during an LA jam session
