What the FUCK is the point of dredging up bickering from nearly 50 years ago between John and Paul? We know all about it. It's in all the fucking books.
We have seen
ALL
THE
FUCKING
FOTOS

THIS
AND
HAVE BEEN
BORED

TELLING US
HOW HE
HAS COME TO
LOVE
YOKO
Are there really people under 50 who care about this shit? Some asshole over 50 is really going to spend $20,000 at a Boston auction today (more or less) to get a "piece of history" in the form of a fucking letter??
(The papers have made a big deal about how "SCATHING" it is, and how John used that naughty naughty S**T word!)
Jeez, we have READ IT ALL BEFORE.
Is there anything new here? It's just another example of John going off, and not even with a great deal of coherence or venom.
He just grabbed some paper, started typing, made a mess of accusations and hurt and snideness and the rest of the Lennonisms, didn't bother to proofread, and sent it off.
If anything, it's a reminder of how undisciplined he was, and how emotional he could be, but that's not worth spending five figures on. $20,000 is the estimate for today's sale? FUCK THAT!
Oh, one other thing. The letter does prove that John was too scattered to have a typewriter with a fresh ribbon in it. He could afford one. But we also know that he could've had the best recording equipment in the world, and a studio set up in his apartment, and yet the demos he left behind were cassette-recorder crappy. Oh well. Interesting that he had a typewriter and a cassette recorder as bad as anyone else's.
Let's read and be very mildly amused. As long as it's free:
Nice that some idiots have disposable income. To do what? Frame it and put it on a wall?
Some moron has fallen for the hype? Some fucking publicist for the auction house has sucked some cock at the Daily Fail and the Daily Snooze etc. etc. to get them to say this is a PRIZED ITEM WORTH A LOTTA MONEY??
The contents have been printed before, right? Seeing this replica, and printing it out, is almost as good as owning the fucking original, right? Auctions of rock "memorabilia" just get stupider all the time, don't they?
"Gosh, I'm SO impressed that you had enough money to out-bid everybody else. Wow. John typed and annotated it. And now YOU OWN IT. How very fortunate for you."
Aside from a reminder that John was a feisty guy (as if Paul didn't tweak him and annoy him and goad him into a lot of it), it's also a reminder that some people have more money than they know what to do with.
Meanwhile Paul just wiggle-waggles his head, does his little pout, bats his eyes, and says, "I get along great with Yoko...I had a lovely talk with John before he died...that guy who shot him, he's the jerk of all jerks...my new album is going to be really great."
