Since the very beginning. Classic Rock's biggest names have left more than greasy thumb prints on a newly opened black vinyl album.
The famous love to write stuff down in the quirkiest of places. On napkins, match book covers beat up old notebooks and handkerchiefs.
Show me a decade in which someone hasn't uncovered a sheet of awareness connected to a famous writer or performer that just so happened to burp up a puddle of creative flow onto a strange and unusual place.
While in Seattle I was glued to Jimi Hendrix daily journal where he wrote about being excited about hanging out with Joni Mitchell and other creative wordsmiths. I couldn't unwrap my imagination from Kurt Cobain's pen scratchings. Inside my radio station studio is a specially crafted book from John Lennon that puts into play his personalized handwritten notes.
An musician in the midst of thought has always been my favorite place hear music. Bent sentences. Pitch volume and tone not yet set. Scratches on top of scratches eventually becoming total blackouts. It leaves the reader in a state of assumption. Which is healthy in a musical world of payoffs and confessions.
Outside of song lyrics John Lennon was notoriously known for writing letters.
John's most famous letter will hit the auction block May 30th. The Break Up letter to Paul and Linda McCartney is expected to pull in $61,000
There's no word on the actual contents of the letter.
This is the second famous Lennon letter to be auctioned off. The first was a handwritten request to Eric Clapton.
John Lennon wrote: Eric, I know I can bring out something great, in fact greater in you that had been so far evident in your music. "I hope to bring out the same kind of greatness in all of us, which I know will happen if/when we get together."
Not all Lennon letters have sold at auction: Last year, another note to Paul and Linda – a six-page rant about the end of the Beatles and how he and Yoko Ono were treated – failed to sell at Christie's in London after bids didn't reach the £63,000 reserve price.
