Angry letter from John Lennon to Paul McCartney to be auctioned
An expletive-filled, handwritten letter drafted by John Lennon to
Paul McCartney and his wife, Linda, after the Beatles' 1970 breakup is to be
sold at auction.
The six-page draft -- expected to fetch up to $112,000 when it goes under
the hammer at Christie's on Oct. 4 -- captures the bitterness between
Lennon and the McCartneys during and immediately after the Fab Four's demise,
and Lennon's anger at the treatment of Yoko Ono.
"I hope you realize what (expletive) you and the rest of my kind and
unselfish friends laid on Yoko & me since we have been together --
It might have sometimes been a bit more subtle or should I say
`middle class' -- but not often," Lennon wrote, according to excerpts
released by Christie's.
The letter, which historians have written about, also provides a first-person
account of Lennon's decision to leave the Beatles. Disgusted by their
mega-band status and feeling trapped by fame, Lennon wrote that he told
Paul McCartney he was quitting, which was met with pleas to
"just let it (peter) out" and to "keep quiet about" the breakup.
"I'm not ashamed of the Beatles, but some of the (expletive) we took to make
them so big," he wrote. "Do you really believe that most of today's art
came about because of the Beatles? -- I don't believe you're that insane Paul
-- do you believe that? ... Didn't we always say we were part of the movement
-- not all of it? Of course we changed the world -- but try and follow
through -- get off your gold disc and fly!"
