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.

She should drop her album in North Korea.

Still rich as King Midas and utterly gorgeous, still crazy as a sh*t house rat.

My wife is a huge Beatles fan even from childhood, so she probably knew all that, I am not as impressed except by the sheer output of their music in their heyday.

I have the Beatles Channel on SiriusXM. The more I listen the more it becomes painfully obvious that they were really mailing it in for a good portion of their existence.

It was funny in "The Rutles" that the Yoko character was a Nazi, instead of a Japanese woman.

I had forgotten The Rutles. Lennon's character was called "Ron Nasty" in that movie. In that Bramwell memoir I mentioned, Lennon came off as very weird and anti-social from a very young age. Even before Yoko, he seemed kinda "off". Maybe she saw him as a kindred nutjob.

Before Yoko, John was definitely the leader of the Beatles, he was the one who pushed them, definitely the strongest personality of the band.

After Yoko, it seemed he didn’t care at all about the band, and that’s when Paul took over.

I was wondering that too, on Abbey Road. They put together a number of 'licks' (Mean Mister Mustard, She Came in thru The Bathroom Window, etc); Did they not complete the songs and George Martin just strung the licks together ???

In any case, just as John and Yoko ended war and brought peace to the world though their brilliant collaborations in the late 60’s/early 70’s, I am certain Yoko’s new album
of sounds like a chattering monkey will lead to world peace in our time. /s

Possibly useful for breaking down the leader of a drug cartel or the like. I heard that Lovin' You by Minnie Ripperton (from the 1970s) was the one which finally broke Noriega of Panama.

Business acumen? You should read up on that. She was a gold digger. She is not a good person in any form or fashion.

I won’t go into Lennon.

Yes. The Lives of John Lennon is another account that says the same thing.

Has she no compassion for humanity?

John gave her credit in an interview, as she'd had a poem with lines imagine this, imagine that, imagine the other thing, in "Grapefruit". I'm not sure he actually shared credit with her for the song. I've never much cared for it, but have grown to kinda hate it since I heard it played (prearranged by the deceased) at a funeral.
