John Lennon

I think an entire section could be here about John Lennon and his glasses

History of John Lennon and his glasses
- [1]
- [2] This one is more about him and his contact lenses, but could be used for context nonetheless
  - This one is even longer
- John Lennon Imagined: Cultural History of a Rock Star by Janne Mäkelä. Chapter 5: Signs of John Lennon's Rock Stardom. Section: The Case of the Granny Glasses. Pages 108-119
Auctions (there are more auctions than these but I find these ones to maybe be the most notable)
- [3] sold for $1.5 million, or maybe much less (2007)
- [4] sold for $183,000 (2019)
- [5] sold for $52,000 (2024)
Less important
- [6] John Lennon statue gets robbed of its glasses often
- [7] Yoko Ono tweet
- [8] Paul McCartney tidbit about Lennon's embarrassment with wearing thick frames in public

I also found some more auctions like a tuft of Lennon's hair and more stuff which could lead into more research about auctions dedicated to the Beatles in general. Squidb4ll (talk) 12:37, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
