There's more of the letter at the link. Or, you can buy it for under $25k. For a serious Beatles collector it must be worth more than that.
MCCartney was always the delusional one. And to add, he’s an avowed obama ass kisser.

FUJL
Paul McCartney was the genius as evidenced by the success of the Wings.
Venus and Mars
Flame away I was never a Beatles fan
Lennon was a pig. McCarney is a dope.
Too bad he didn’t sign it.
Interesting it also says ‘love’ at the end. At their lowest point, they still were mates.
Interesting. Nothing more than a kick in the ass for Paul, and a (probably) well-deserved trashing of the Eastman family.
I loved the Beatles music, but as I got older, I disliked Paul because he seemed like a self-glorifying control freak, and I disliked John because he was simply an a-hole to people.
I appreciate an entertainer who knows their place in the scheme of things, and can still be gracious to the people who give them their money. Lennon apparently had complete and utter contempt for people who forked over money for his product.
Peace, love, dove!
Maybe in 45 more years Esquire will delve into the letters between Podesta and the Democrats about what they really think about “the base” voters.
My goodness, he used the “C” word! This can’t be from John Lennon, he was all about bein a Liberal and peace and love and tolerance!
Right? LOL
John Lennon was reportedly the last to give up on the Beatles and didn’t sign off on paperwork until the mid-70s.
When did he kick his heroin habit?
No sir, the evidence of genius was the enduring nature and universal recognition of the Beatles best songs.
Dear Prudence

All Lennon songs, and everyone better than any syrup McCartney ever thunk up.
Consider yourself flamed. I considered a scathing post detailing how you had failed mankind in your position but I just couldn't get motivated.
My wife and I saw McCartney at Desert Trip in Palm Springs last month.
What struck me, is the depth of the music catalog. No way is there time in an evening to get through it. Contrast to the Stones, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and the Who who also performed.
For the John Lennon parts, Neil Young stepped in. Magical.
LM have the most prolific portfolio, but George is the best in my mind.
Ah, John Lennon was a HUGE part of the Beatles and wrote and co wrote MANY MANY great songs.
I didn’t turn to him for my religious beliefs, just like you dont care about the ULTRA left wing views of paul.
I liked Lennon’s and Paul’s songs after they broke up, BUT NEITHER CAME TO CLOSE to the Beatles catalog.
They were geniuses together.
Incredible string of albums from Rubber Soul to Abbey Road. “All Things Must Pass” showed that they could have gotten quite a bit of good material out of Harrison, too, if they’d stayed together. I remember seeing some film documentaries of Lennon and Harrison taken shortly after the breakup - the bitterness and anger was very real. These guys had been so close for so long - it seemed very much like the breakup of a marriage.
MCCartney was always the delusional one...
Yoko was the spark!
