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.

I swore if she called when I was there I would pick up the phone and tell her “I’m busy. Don’t call back.”

One of the more educational songs to have come out of the ‘60’s.

Use the album at Gitmo in lieu of waterboarding.

No, some lines we do not cross...

She broke up the Beatles. Now she wants to ruin the world.

Or try to engage her in some lengthy irrelevant conversation like you might if you wanted to annoy a telemarketer.

Yea, ask her whether she liked the art exhibits that are put up periodically in Central Park. One thing artists hate is to discuss other artists’ successful exhibits. Especially when the artist in conversation has no actual talent.

Oh she just had an exhibit here in Toronto which is part of some museum tour called the riverbed. Near as I could tell it was a collection of junk and smooth rocks she found in a riverbed. Clearly she has become much more sophisticated and nuanced in her displays of garbage.

“As part of this very special album, Ono will complete a reprise extended version of Revolution #9 that will allow listeners to enjoy her abstract audio brilliance for a full 30 minutes. Also, as an added bonus, she will create a YouTube video featuring the refrain from “Give Peace a Chance” playing in sequence for 10 straight hours.”

Find “Magical Misery Tour” on youtube. It’s a hoot right to the end when John Lennon’s shrieks dies and Yoko utters, “The Dleam is over”.

He ditched his wife for this Nipponese chick, IIRC.
