New York (AFP) - Yoko Ono on Tuesday announced that she is releasing a new album at age 85, saying that her lifelong message of peace was sorely needed in 2018.

"Warzone," which will come out on October 19, will revisit songs penned by Ono since 1970, concluding with "Imagine," her seminal pacifist anthem with her late husband John Lennon.

"The world is so messed up. Things are very difficult for everybody," she said in a statement.

A statement from her representatives added: "It is not too late to change the world. We need Yoko now more than ever."

The Japanese-born New Yorker made clear that "Warzone" was not a swan song, saying that she is working on another album.

The album's 13 tracks, produced by her son Sean Ono Lennon, are rearranged to strip back the music, bringing to the forefront Ono's voice in the vein of spoken word.

Sean has never needed to work either.
When he meets a new girls, he probably starts every conversation with; “Do you know who my Father was?”
We are almost to the point where some Generation Z girl will reply “Your dad was John Lennon? Was he any relation to Vladimir? You don’t look Russian. Your mother, on the other hand....”

There’s got to be something in the Geneva Convention about this.

After 11 years, Paris Hilton is now releasing another album. They should take both and send that music into space to scare aliens away.

Did she finally find even a thimble full of talent? No? I didn’t think so.

Oh, that will make it a sure seller.../s

If the album had been included on the Voyager space craft,
half the aliens would have run away and the other half
would have opted for immediate invasion and conquest.

We do not need, nor have ever needed, Yoko Ono.

She had an art exhibit here about 15 years ago where there was some random crap strewn around on the floor and a telephone in the middle and supposedly she would call some lucky visitor to hear her voice. Really self indulgent.

There's a great video on YouTube of John & Yoko performing "Memphis Tennessee" and "Johnny B Goode" with Chuck Berry on the Mike Douglas Show. At around 1:57, Yoko grabs a microphone and starts her screeching shtick, and Chuck's expression is just priceless. On the second song, you can see Yoko pulling the same crap, enthusiastically shrieking into a mic, BUT you can't hear her. Hilariously, they've cut off her mic.

Oh don’t concern yourselves over Yoko’s new album. Only dogs will be able to hear it. Ok, you may want to keep dogs away from her album if playing. Could get messy.

It’s cruel to step on the tail of an 85-year old cat. Let her die in peace. Wait, let US die in peace.
