Summary

Today is a mini bonus episode with one of my favorite humans ever

Artist Blaine Halvorson owner and creator of Made Worn T-Shirt company.

Blaine has a very special event this Thursday night in Los Angeles at LA Modern where he will be auctioning off some of the rarest Rock n Roll T Shirts ever.

Sit down and enjoy our conversation on how this all came about.

Dive into the raw energy and rebellion of rock n' roll history with Beauty & Imperfections | The Blaine Halvorson Collection: Rare Rock T-Shirts on September 12th. From backstage exclusives and tour merch to early fan club rarities, these shirts embody the spirit of the artists, bands, and musical movements that shaped pop culture from the 1960s to the 1990s.

Collected over the course of more than three decades by artist and designer Blaine Halvorson, the selection features holy grails like Ritva Man Rolling Stones appliqué sweaters and an original Fillmore West basketball jersey alongside authentic tees for AC/DC, The Beatles, Blondie, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, KISS, Madonna, Metallica, Run-D.M.C., Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols, Neil Young, and many more. Whether made for a world tour or breakthrough album, each piece stands as a fashion statement and cultural artifact charged with its moment in history.
