My thought is that it is not really the Plastic Ono Band, is it? It's Sean and Yoko and a bunch of other guys. No Eric Clapton, no Alan White and no Klaus Voormann. This is Yoko trying to earn a few bucks by calling a group with her in it 'Plastic Ono Band'.

This is true. Yoko should just give it a rest already.

I don`t mind it at all, I think it`s great. After all, Sean and Yoko were John`s family. Now is the time of supergroups, why not form another one?

Exactly!

The line up for 2009 is Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Mark Ronson (Producer), Cornelius and Yuka Honda (from the group Cibo Mato).

Who the hell are those people? Sure isnt the original POB. Yuko cashing in again.

That is the point. This is not a supergroup. This is not a group with musicians like John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Alan White and Klaus Voormann.

Mark Ronson is probably THE biggest producers in  British music today. 2008 got a grammy for best producer and a brit for Best British Male Artist.
And I guess the whole point of the POB was that it was an informal ad hoc collection of musicians.

Then the question is if this famous producer will be able to do something outstanding. Honestly, I am curious. And frankly, I doubt that something will come out of it.

I have inherited a vinyl from my relatives IMAGINE, 1982, printed in Russia. The envelope says that songs are sung in English! so that nobody could have any doubt about that! The band is called Plasticono Band. One of the songs is Clippled Inside. Another is Oh Yoho!    ;D

no john..no plastic ono band..

I completely beg to differ.

John and Yoko decided in 1968 that whatever music they made after that point would be credited as 'Plastic Ono Band'. They even used the pharse, "YOU are the Plastic Ono Band", meaning that everyone was apart of the band, and the band was really formed to encompass all of the people that played with them. (People like George, Ringo, Klaus, Billy Preston, Alan White..etc)

So, she wants to use the name of the band for musical endeavors today, I don't see the problem. There would be no 'Plastic Ono Band' without Yoko she can use the name. And I'm pretty sure her sole purpose isn't for money, I would like to think she has enough of that.
