A few years ago someone ahead of me in traffic had a fresh looking bumper sticker:
I Still Hold A Grudge Against Yoko.
One anti-Yoko anecdote:
Interviewer: Do you and John do any exercises these days?
Yoko: We are both addicted to heroin so I believe that counts as exercise.
Hey, you know, I haven’t renewed my Yoko Ono Fan Club membership either. but can you really say all her work on Double Fantasy was.... merde?
Take a second listen to at leasr two tracks on that songlist.
“Beautiful Boys” and “Hardtimes Are Over”. She uses a spoken word/ singing method, sort of like what Richard Harris did on MacArthur Park. She’s believable with that method, as it suits the flat tones of her speech. She sounds like a character who has struggled for quite a while and has now found relief.
**Hidden Gem from one of John’s late work:
“Jealous Guy”.Listen to the piano intro. Spare, but fulfilling.
