After a passerby smashed up a Scottish busker's guitar, forcing him to launch a GoFundMe page, White Stripes frontman Jack White decided to buy the musician a new one.

Jack White performs in Mountain View, Calif., on Oct. 20, 2012. When Matt Grant was out busking on the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland on Tuesday, "the worst thing that could have happened happened."

He described the incident on the fundraising page, saying: "Often I don't rise to people coming up and talking nonsense but this lady was pushing it too far. She was in my face swearing and shouting at me. I told her to go away and she wasn't having any of it. She grabbed my guitar and smashed it over the ground."By the following day Grant had raised £4,000 -- more than enough for the guitar, as well as other pieces of kit he planned to replace.

Trump, Biden lawyer up, brace for White House legal battleU.S. President Donald Trump's and Democratic rival Joe Biden's campaigns are assembling armies of powerful lawyers for the possibility that the race for the White House is decided not at the ballot box but in court. FFS. The only legal battle Biden should be worried about is going to jail for selling out his country to China. There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there that drives people to believe everything they read. As an outsider looking at the elections in the US, I see a president who is an idiot and a strong possibility that a civil unrest or war is coming. We should be weary of this! The Republicans are screaming voter fraud. Democrats are saying it’s not. Does anyone else feel that the Democrats are falling into a trap so that when the Republicans cheat at the voting polls and win, they scream OK, You were right, voting was not fraud. Democrats are trapped
