Handwritten lyrics to John Lennon’s Give Peace a Chance are expected to go for a whopping 300,000 pounds (600,000 US) at an auction later today in London. The lyrics were presented to a comedy writer named Gail Renard who visited John and Yoko during their bed-in in 1969. The writer ended up becoming life-long friends with the famous couple. She told the BBC that she didn’t regret putting the lyrics up for sale because they had become a “responsibility”. She also said:

“I really was getting nervous about it and they went to live in a vault for a little while but I thought, ‘well that’s ridiculous because nobody’s enjoying them now’.”

Repsonsibility? How quaint. The lyrics sat in a vault. It’s not like they had to be fed and watered every day. Anyone in their right mind who owned a piece of memorabilia such as this would never let it go. Of course, money does have a way of changing some peoples’ minds., doesn’t it?
