BonJovi Ex Bassist Puts Memorbilia Up For Auction - Nobody Wants To Buy It

[matcom]

<snip>

Alec Jon Such, former bassist for Bon Jovi, put thousands of dollars worth of cars, furniture, artwork and rock'n'roll memorabilia on sale in a weekend auction at his home in Colts Neck.

Too bad no one was buying it.

"What a dull crowd," said auctioneer Steve Miranti of Auction Liquidation Services. "I guess there's no Bon Jovi fans out there."

There were a few fans of the New Jersey-based band on hand -- notably, Pam and Chauncey Cozine from Middletown, who went home Saturday with $1,525 worth of Such's keepsakes, including a Fender bass guitar played and signed by Such, and the 1992 "Keep the Faith" album's double platinum records.

"We've been fans of Bon Jovi's since his big-hair days in the 1980s," said Pam Cozine. "I thought they were going to sell everything here for a lot more. I didn't think we'd get anything."

If only I'd known!

4. But you'd have to re-train it

to play something besides boring.

5. No problem.

I can have it retrained to play "suck" at a moment's notice. It's been YEARS since I've picked up a bass, and even then, I was no John Entwhistle.
