***The red suede jacket that ELVIS PRESLEY wore on the cover of his “Jailhouse Rock” 45 sold for an impressive $41,400 last week at an online auction. Other rock-related items that were on the block include BOB DYLAN’s hand-written lyrics for “Just Like a Woman,” which went for 24 thousand dollars, and some rosary beads formerly owned by BONO, which netted $6,300.
The auction was presented by Gotta Have It!, a leader in authentic sports and music memorabilia.
***BILLY JOEL has taken a loss on one of his homes in Long Island, New York. Newsday reports that his ocean front bungalow in the town of Sagaponack just sold for ten million dollars; he paid 11.6 million dollars for the three-bedroom, two-bath home in 2007. He'd previously purchased the one next door as a surprise for his now-ex-wife, KATIE LEE.
***Over a thousand police officers were on hand last Wednesday when a riot ensued outside a METALLICA show in Bogota, Colombia. According to published reports, things got ugly when hundreds of ticketless fans showed up at the concert at Simon Bolivar Park and attempted to breach barriers. The riot lasted for 45 minutes, during which more than 100 people were arrested, eight poeple -- four policemen and four fans -- were injured and windows were smashed. Metallica’s show was not disrupted.
It was the second riot of Metallica’s South American tour. In January, 120 people were arrested at the band’s gig in Santiago, Chile.
