A quote from the article: “I wonder what it would have been like if he were alive today,” [Julian] wrote in a statement made on the 20th anniversary of his father’s death in 2000. “I guess it would have depended on whether he was ‘John Lennon’ (Dad) or ‘John Ono Lennon’ (manipulated lost soul).”
Ouch.
I'm still not completely clear on what an NFT is. This article helped. . . sort of: https://www.theverge.com/22310188/nft-explainer-what-is-blockchain-crypto-art-faq

He must need the money.
I’m no expert on NFTs but, honestly, even reading articles including the one above, I can’t get past the sense that what you are buying is simply not worth having. It’s not like buying the original of an oil painting. Or the rights to a song. There’s no real ownership benefit to having your name in a blockchain saying you own it save the hope that other people value it and will one day pay you more money for it.

Thank you for posting that, Moogmodule; I was worried it was just me that thought that!
