Sings like an angry cat...

It;s NOT Clapton...itr’s CLAPNER!! (per Clinton’s REALLY STUPID Surgeon General...can’t remember her name.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Ms. Ono’s well-preserved air of naïveté — and the license it gives her to say things simply and primally — has been her artistic gift since the ’60s...

In other words, the source of her talent is her utter lack of talent. Nice work, if you can get it...

[Ann Archy]

just remembered....Jocelyn Elders said “I LOVE Eric CLAPNER”!!

you know what? if the slimes is slammin' Yoko Ono, I'm staying with my position that she's a class act (if a bit eclectic) and probably one of history's most slandered women. It can't be easy being married to a self-appointed minor deity (who also grew up, by the way).

And, if Clapton's playing with her, she can't be all that bad.

So, as always, screw the times.

Rock on, Yoko.

points for the graphic, mate. You just took me back to my youth.

John would’ve tired of her schtick by 2010. He’d already left his first wife and had cheated with May Pang.

She’s been able to exercise control of 25% of the Beatles’ legacy for 30 years now, far longer than the band ever existed or she knew John.

In Yoko’s defense, I off this list that someone blogged on a radio station’s website last month:

“So I think that’s the wonderful part about it, but listen - I like Eric Clapner!” - Joycelyn Elders

[A CA Guy]

IMO she is a talentless fame whore.

I don't see any slams in the article.

God doesn’t make mistakes. Although considering that Mark Chapman shot John Lennon and not Yoko, I can understand why some folks might think otherwise.

What’s the chance of getting Mark David Chapman a weekend pass?

Perfect analysis! And the secret to getting work under these circumstances is to marry a Beatle and then have him be willing to throw his own career away to keep you in the music business.

thx, i misunderstood post 4 and just assumed since it's the times and since she catches a ration of sh_t from most everyone.

Rock on, Yoko.

Anyway Cheap Trick does an excellent cover of "I'm Losing You" from "Double Fantasy," but that's not really Yoko.

[Ann Archy]

I thought she said LOVE....but hey, I got the CLAPNER part right.
