Beatles Fan Pays £2,442 For Lock of Lennon's Hair !! ( And A little Something On Ringo)
A Beatles fan from Hong Kong has reportedly paid £2,442 for a single lock of John Lennon's hair.
The unnamed buyer bought the hair through an intermediary at the 12th Record Collectors Auction in the north-eastern Spanish town of Gerona.
It had only been expected to sell for about £670.
Organisers of the auction said a Spanish hairdresser had competed with the Hong Kong resident but had not been willing to pay more than £2,000.
The Hong Kong buyer however said he would have gone up to £6,700.
A British company certified the hair as belonging to the late John Lennon.
The former Beatle, who was murdered in New York on December 8, 1980, had apparently pulled the hair out of his head and given it to an enthused fan during a visit to Denver in August 1964.
(crazy, huh)?
Lucky bastard:))
Look for Ringo and His All Star Band's 2003 concert this Month (March) on PBS.
