$334,000.  That is what the famed cardigan that Kurt Cobain wore for the MTV Unplugged performance just sold for at auction this weekend.

Rolling Stone has the details on the auction AND the sweater — “a blend of acrylic, mohair and Lycra with five-button closure (one button absent), with two exterior pockets, a burn hole and discoloration near left pocket and discoloration on right pocket” — which, by the way, was also reportedly unwashed since the last time Kurt wore it.

So, does the winner hang it on the wall — or sit around and smear Doritos dust on it while basking in its warm, historical music glow?  — [eric]
