Nothing sells like anger, it seems — especially these days.
A vitriolic letter that John Lennon wrote to his former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney and his wife Linda McCartney pulled in nearly $30,000 at auction this week.
The letter, believed to date from 1971, sold for $29,843, according to Boston’s RR Auction.
The winning bidder, a collector from Dallas, wished to remain anonymous.
The scathing, two-page missive from Lennon was reportedly a response to Linda McCartney’s criticism leveled at Lennon over Lennon not publicly announcing his split from the Beatles.
“I was reading your letter and wondering what middle aged cranky Beatle fan wrote it,” the typed letter with handwritten annotations by Lennon reads.
