Yoko Ono
« on: May 20, 2006, 03:52:59 AM »
I'm fed up of Yoko bashing.

I think she's done some really interesting work in her time and the fact that she was John Lennon's soul mate improves my opinion of her. Unfounded rumors have no sway with me, she was right for John and I have no reason to doubt his judgement.

I don't know her as a person, but  as an artist, I think her so called art is absolute crap.

I think she and John were very self indulged. I think she annoyed the other Beatles. They seem to not have a whole lot of love for her. I think her 'music' is crap. I really don't care know about her art. Seems like a lot of hype. But avant garde is not for everyone I guess. But how can I hate her if I don't know her? If John was happy than she was good for him I guess. I just think the obsession thing was a little strange. I mean, a bed in the studio? It's not only presumptuous, but kind of rude.

She was on 'The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill'. Please remember to vote for the nearest option that applies to your belief of her or her work, if you like.

i honestly, dont like her art, music, or the fact that she p*ssed off the beatles. the only thing that is redeeming and why i dont completely classify her as a soul-sucking, banshee-screaming whore, is that she did so much to influence john and his music and some of the best stuff he did was with her in mind. *shudder* i just dont understand him sometimes

Thats why that song sucks.

I voted that I hate everything about her and everything she did. If there was something worse up there, i'd have voted for that.

I don't think she's in it enought to actually ruin it is she?! I like the song. Of course she does have that one really annoying part. But it kind of fits in. She sounds like a little kid. It annoys me that she horned her way onto a Beatles record though. I'm sure the others were thrilled. A woman on a Beatle record!?! Unheard of. Not as bad as TLAWR though.

I'm tired of Yoko bashing, myself.
I never had anything against that woman.
Her art is funny as hell, I really like a lot of her songs.
And of course John loved her, and that's good enough for me.

I like her imagery, the way she inspired John, I don't think her singing is bad at all.

Sweeping generaliseation: Or are you one of these people that thinks certain art is brilliant because you don't understand what the hell it is you are looking at but don't want to sound intellectually inferior.

Tell me Jr, who are 'these people', names and examples of these people please.

When it comes to conclusions we can say that Mrs Lennon sure knows how to get people debating about her. It's no secret that I'm no big fan of her and hers neither. Her art does not appeal to me at all, her singing is seriously painful to my ears. Over the years one could say she made some -friendly said- strange decisions regarding John's legacy. It's not my kind of woman. The whole lost weekend thing and all: it may have been more common in the early seventies, but I can't get rid of the idea that Yoko Ono had John under her spell.
Still, John Lennon was a grown up man when he met her. Responsible and fully aware (well, more of less) of his decisions. He decided to stay with her till the very end. We can endlessly discuss the depth of their love and how they depended on each other, but it's all some kind of speculation. We can discuss that Yoko did no good on the existence of The Beatles, but again, it was John's decision. What can we say?

^ True, fine and wise words.
But I'd like to put a little plug in for idle gossip, speculation and sheer fantasy. Where would we be without them. It's fun, and short of a lawsuit from Yoko, no harm done.

I should have gone with: It is wrong to judge somebody I've never met on rumors...
but actually in her case I cannot help but to  judge someone although I never met her.
That John loved her was good for him and him only.
So it's called art now what she does... yeah, whatever - if she hadn't John to support her...well...nuff said
