Beat-musikken er efterhånden så gammel, at den kommer på museer og auktioner. I Billboard kan man læse, at John Lennons håndskrevne udkast til sangen Give Peace A Chance kommer under hammeren hos Christie’s i London og forventes at indbringe omkring $ 400.000. Og selv om dollaren ikke er, hvad den har været, så er det dog en sjat penge. Det fortælles også, at John Lennon gav sit udkast til en teenager-pige og bad hende om at gemme det, for det ville blive meget værd med tiden. Jo, Lennon kendte godt sit eget værd.
