This ol witch is still around. She was hairy by Japanese standards, which made her too ugly for Japan. So she came here to plague us.

I had a French beer once. It was almost syrupy sweet and almost flat. Stick with wine. Leave brewing to the Germans, Brits, Micks, etc.

What about "Blow and Jobs" Cherry Garcia? Does that get a free pass?

A real mystery what John ever saw in this skank.

She is such an awful person. Did you know her uncle was a high level person in the Japan government when they bombed us in Hawaii? You can see his photo next to the Emperor of Japan on the USS Missouri signing the surrender. Two evil people, she takes after her uncle.

I still have nightmares of the one time I saw John and Yoko’s nude album cover.

Couldn't be any worse than hearing her sing. Her caterwauling has been know to make people's ears bleed.

Just change it to “Dawn Lemon” beer, and make the person more dusky.

She’s a manipulator. Very clearly. She had to sit in on every everything with the 4 of them. She and John were together 24/7/365 back in the day. I credit her with breaking them up.

That possible ‘infringement’ was probably not caught by 93 y/o Yoko, but by her son, Sean Taro Lennon, now 50 y/o.
Sean has gradually taken over managing his mom’s business concerns and what will eventually be her estate.

Yoko has largely withdrawn from public life, having moved out of The Dakota Apt. in New York City , over to her 600 acre ranch in upstate NY. Her net worth is at least $700 Million Dollars.

How about the two rap performers in England going by the name of Bob Vylan. “Their fiercely political and socially conscious lyrics address topics ranging from racism, police violence, and income inequality to toxic masculinity, food poverty, and the cost-of-living crisis.” They claim they use the name “to protect their privacy.”
—BBC.
