Mick Jagger's Hair Up For Sale

Who wants a 50^th anniversary Rolling Stones concert T-shirt when you can have something much more personal, especially since some fans have been paying upwards of $1000 to $2000 for VIP packages to attend a concert, get dinner, drinks and a bag of merch, including a $600 leather jacket? That doesn't even include meeting the band. No, no, this is much better and the sale will help others, not just provide hours of odd conversations and chuckles.

Cause Song of the Month:

SIMPLE PLAN "Untitled" 2004

The poignant ballad by Montreal pop-rock act Simple Plan was released as a single from its second album, Still Not Getting Any… and adopted by Mothers Against Drunk Driving. “This song is a very personal look at what happens when tragedy hits close to home…” the band, which has known people involved in accidents caused by drunk driving, said in a collective statement. “One of the students at our high school crashed his car driving back from a weekend trip and killed his best friend. It was a very sad time that none of us will ever forget.” Simple Plan also made an eye-opening music video for the song depicting an inebriated young male driver who crashes into a young female driver, killing her and leading to his arrest, and shattered families. — K.B.

Charity Song of the Month:

LARRY PEGG "Weight" 2012

“Weight” was the catalyst that gave Ottawa roots musician Larry Pegg the will to record another album after the crippling loss of his daughter to suicide in 2007. The song was written, literally between tears in his hotel room, while attending the 2012 Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention's National Conference. That same day, Pegg submitted it into CBC’s Lynn Miles songwriting contest where it made top 5. Later, Miles agreed to sing backup on the final version for his new album, Before And Afterlife: The Theory of Positivity. Pegg is donating 100 percent of the proceeds from downloads of “Weight” — and 50 percent of the full album download proceeds — to D.I.F.D., started in memory of 14-year-old Daron Richardson, who took her own life. The youth-driven initiative is focused on raising awareness and inspiring conversations about youth mental health. — K.B.
