--Answer to "WHO AM I?"
Yoko Ono. in 1966, she met John Lennon, a member of the Beatles. The pair fell instantly in love, and in 1969, they married and Lennon changed his name to John Ono Lennon. The couple collaborated both musically and politically, staging publicized antiwar protests and recording a hit single "GivePeace a Chance", under the name of The Plastic Ono Band. In 1970, the Beatles split-up, and Yoko continued to record and
perform music with her husband throughout the 1970s. Duringthe 1980s, following the death of her husband, Ono continued working on her experimental art and music. She released a series of avant-garde albums, culminating in the 1992 release of "Onobox", a 6-CD compilation. In October 2002, she commemorated what would have been John Lennon's 62nd birthday
by establishing the LennonOno Grant for Peace. Ono presented $50,000 checks to Palestinian artist Khalil Rabah and Israeli artist Zvi Goldstein at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

I never was a big fan of Yoko. She always reminded me of those Troll dolls, especially when her hair was long.

Her voice, to me, was like finger nails scratched along a chalk board. IIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!
Everyone has their tastes, I guess. She just never suited mine.
