We Regret To Inform You Both Lennon Kids Are Into NFTs
The further we get from the unfortunate moment NFTs entered the public consciousness, the clearer it becomes that all the celebrities hocking these cursed things were either 1) saps with too much money begging to be separated from it, or 2) looking for saps with too much money begging to be separated from it. We’re choosing to believe John Lennon’s grown kids belong to the first category.
First there’s Sean, the edgiest Lennon bro, who likes apocalyptic Beanie Babies so much that not only did he mint some baffling (occasionally NSFW) ones of his own, but he has also promoted some made by other people — like these “not for the faint of heart” (OR for babies) NFTs that look totally badass and not at all like artwork from some sort of low budget porno game where monsters give you BJs.
His brother Julian’s foray into the dishonorable NFT market ended up being somehow even more baffling: he’s been selling digital versions of Beatles memorabilia items, including items of clothing owned by his father. Yes, for only $12,800, you can be a part of Beatles history and own … uh, a link to some sort of black blotch that doesn’t even depict a Beatle. That’s sad on so many levels.
Here’s hoping whoever bought these was someone filthy rich who won’t even notice that money is gone forever. Ideally someone who makes/wears horrible shirts or butchers Journey.
