Grunge became gold Saturday (June 20) as the guitar Kurt Cobain played on Nirvana’s 1993 MTV Unplugged performance sold for an eye-popping $6 million at auction. The 1959 Martin D-18E that Cobain played in the band’s rare acoustic performance and subsequent live album was sold to Australian Peter Freedman, owner of Røde Microphones, at the Music Icons event run by Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, California. The bids opened at $1 million for the sale that ended up breaking several world records.

Tom Petty’s Estate Rips Trump for Using ‘I Won’t Back Down’ at Campaign Rally
On Saturday night, President Donald Trump had a rally in Tulsa that was sparsely attended. Apparently that wasn’t even the worst piece of news of the night for him. Upon hearing that the president came out to the 1989 anthem “I Won’t Back Down,” Tom Petty’s estate issued a blistering rebuke of its usage. “Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind,” a statement from the estate read. “Tom Petty would never want a song of his used for a campaign of hate. He liked to bring people together.” “Tom wrote this song for the underdog, for the common man and for EVERYONE,” it continued. “We want to make it clear that we believe everyone is free to vote as they like, think as they like, but the Petty family doesn’t stand for this. We believe in A...

Luke Bryan Debuts ‘Build Me a Daddy’ Live on ‘The Tonight Show’: Watch
Luke Bryan pulled on heartstrings with a performance of “Build Me a Daddy” just in time for Father’s Day weekend. The country star offered a live take of the new song with a poignant, socially distanced performance for The Tonight Show Thursday night (June 18). “A boy walks past a window of a glowing ‘open’ sign/ Full of wooden toys and trucks and painted trains/ Rings a bell up on the counter, hands a picture to the man/ Of a kid beside a soldier smilin’ away/ Said, ‘Sir, I’ve heard you can build anything’/ ‘Could you build me a daddy?'” Bryan asks in the first verse of the emotional ballad, from the perspective of a child who’s lost his father. “Strong as Superman/ Make him ten feet tall with a south...
