ANGRY LENNON LETTER SOLD AT AUCTION

BOSTON (AP) — An angry letter from John Lennon to Paul and Linda
McCartney written shortly after the Beatles’ breakup has been sold at
auction for nearly $30,000.

The two-page typed draft , with handwritten annotations by Lennon,
was sold Thursday by Boston-based RR Auction.

RR says the letter is believed to have been written in 1971 in response
to criticism Lennon received from Linda McCartney about his decision
to not publicly announce his departure from the band.

The profanity-filled and sometimes rambling letter reads: “Do you really
think most of today’s art came about because of the Beatles? I don’t
believe you’re that insane — Paul — do you believe that? When you
stop believing it you might wake up!”

The letter was sold to a collector in Dallas who requested anonymity.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The famous Tennessee lakeside property where
Johnny and June Carter Cash spent much of their 35-year marriage has been
listed for sale.

According to a news release on Thursday, the owner James Gresham is selling
the 4-acre property in Hendersonville about 20 miles northeast of Nashville with
the hopes that the new owner would preserve the Cash legacy. No listing price
has been set.

Unfortunately, their home (above) was destroyed in a fire in 2007, but the
property includes a pool, a dock, stone walls and a three-car garage that
has been turned into an apartment.
