Neon piece of rock ‘n’ roll history going up for auction
BIDDEFORD, Maine — A bright neon piece of rock ‘n’ roll history is going up for auction — a marquee from the legendary Los Angeles club, Whisky a Go Go.
The 13-foot sign, with letters alight in bright pink, adorned the West Hollywood club in the ’80s and ’90s, during the heyday of punk, new wave and grunge.
Saco River Auction Co. is putting it up for bid Wednesday.
“Being a guy who likes rock and heavy metal and music in general, this is like the holy grail of something that’s collectible,” said auctioneer Troy Thibodeau.
