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!" source: san francisco gate Cheers! 眾人皆醉我獨醒 Patsy "Gallagher" -- When everybody agrees with me, I think I must be wrong. --Oscar Wilde --
