Let's remember the time that Yoko Ono ruined an epic Rock and Roll moment by injecting her no-talent

I just read a book about the Beatles. Seemed when Yko showed up, everything went downhill quickly. That was the end of the Beatles.

Oct 29, 2012 - Paul McCartney tells interviewer David Frost in a program set to air in November that Yoko Ono did not break up the Beatles, reinforcing the position that John Lennon often took in the years before his death in 1980.

?She certainly didn?t break the group up, the group was breaking up,? McCartney told Frost in an interview coinciding roughly with the Beatles? 50th anniversary this year.

the beatles were done before yoko came around. john didn't like the rivalry between him and paul and paul and the rest couldn't stand the touring. they were done already.

Agreed - I've read from the band members themselves she kept them together a little longer without them actually killing each other. Copyrights and credits rearing their ugly heads between paul and john etc...

They were so done before she showed up.

Here is the original clip.

Her stupid shreiking is at 1:18 and 2:30



What I don't understand is why Yoko?

She was a decade older than him, ugly, frumpy, untalented, unpleasant. Why not a hot trophy wife?

yes indeed, everything when down the drain when she got into their lives...

[alex.missyouth]

The bitch always sucked at singing. I remember the first time I listened to 'Unfinished Music No.1 Two Virgins'. One of the crappiest albums ever IMHO.

She should have stuck to her other oral talents.

Wow that is just fucking awful. Never saw the original clip before.

[The Porn Nerd]

Yoko provided an easy excuse for John to quit the group.
John had all kinds of Mommy issues.

Still, Yoko was an opportunistic bitch who hitched her wagon to a star - how many of us would do the same? Linda McCartney was just as big a bitch, in her own way, "playing" with Paul. Gimme a break ladies.

Yoko and Linda: make me dinner and shut the fuck up.

Yoko a trophy wife...

Yoko Ono came from a very wealthy and connected Japanese family, and attended Japan's most prestigious schools (one of her classmates was the current Emperor of Japan, Akihito).

Prior to meeting John, Yoko was already a well-established artist in Japan, and was fast developing an international avant-guarde reputation as a performance artist and through her association with John Cale and others in the art-music scene.

yoko was a trophy in the way how, like john, there was more substance in her life but to me her heart wasn't in anything she did any of her activism.

Need to check your definition of Trophy Wife. Here's what I came up with:

Trophy wife is an expression used to refer to a wife, usually young and attractive, who is regarded as a status symbol for the husband, who is often older and wealthy.

The use of the term also usually reflects negatively on the character or personality of the husband, and has a connotation of narcissism and desire to impress others, and that the husband would not be able to attract the sexual interest of the attractive woman but for his wealth or position.

It can also be used to imply that the trophy wife in question has little personal merit besides her physical attractiveness, and is sometimes synonymous with the term "gold digger."

As for her activism, Yoko Ono is a very wealthy woman (her net worth is in the vicinity of $500 million), so she doesn't need to invest all of the time, effort, and money into many causes of which she has been a lifelong supporter and activist.

Try visiting her site...http://imaginepeace.com/

Amazing the energy that she still has at 80 years old...

BTW, I am not defending Yoko Ono's singing voice although I get what she is doing (I enjoy artsy performers like Laurie Anderson and Meredith Monk, and like some rather strange experimental music, not for the tuneful melodies as much as the performance/message, such as early Zappa, Captain Beefheart, etc).

sorry i am making this out to you on not a computer.

adg, i was going to ask you, how do you define trophy wife, and the definition you found is mine too.

she was a status symbol for john, she was his trophy wife, the problem with john when he was alive was he really got too caught up in his rock and roll lifestyle, thats one reason why he was shot and didn't live to tell anyone about it.

jane fonda, john kerry, hilary clinton, george bush, bill gates, yoko ono is one of them too, someone who stayed silent and arguably betraying herself by doing so throughout the last ten years during a very uncertain time in the world, and in history, when their lives told a complete different story, when they were all over the establishment, down with the man, peace not war, the anti-war rallies, so what changed?

After the break-up of the Beatles, John did dive into the rock and roll lifestyle, going on some famous drug binges, and even leaving Yoko for a time, and having an affair with May Pang.

When John and Yoko reconciled is when John probably was able to be the most alive and human/humane of his life, spending most of five years with his children, reclusive and semi-retired from rock and roll. Yoko made helped John become more sane and centered.

It was only when he finally emerged once again into the public eye that he was assassinated by a deranged fan with a handgun.

I believe that Yoko has been very active and vocal over the past few decades on numerous issues, and supported various causes, and whether you agree with their policies or not, Hilary Clinton may very well have secured the Presidency with her stint as Secretary of State. and now John Kerry will leave his mark. It seems those two are still quite active on a number of issues.







Not sure why you're so bitter.

Anyway, if you want to keep bashing Yoko, have fun, it's your thread...I prefer to give peace a chance.

i wasn't bashing yoko, i was merely criticising.

end thread?

Chuck Berry is still alive, and touring. Amazing, huh.

In fact, he's playing Blueberry Hill's Duck Room (Saint Louis, MO) tomorrow night.

there has been more military action in this world in the last ten years than since vietnam or the gulf war if you consider the name those wars have for themselves. however if you can really imagine vietnam then multiply it by two or three then you have something to write home about.

yoko didn't, because she in truth doesn't care this time round, because she probably supports the war in that country and the war on terrorism. john has already turned in his grave because of the call of the duty that went unanswered by yoko. i remember save darfur with john lennons mug all over the cover but it failed, because then you have another problem with politicians who are politicing their way through their lives and either don't or can't listen, then act.

[winter_]

by the way, can we see the pictures please to those who posted them, i didn't see them.

[VikingMan]

John was one of the most famous men who had ever walked this planet yet he sticks his penis into this thing? I understand the concept of "inner beauty" but come on even a homeless guy would want a woman who is at least a little bit attractive. John could have had his pick of millions or even billions of women.

Yoko was against the initial invasion of Iraq (when such a position was unpopular), and has protested, and been an outspoken critic of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as war in general for as long as she has been in the public eye.

For Yoko herself, however, what does concern her beyond her art is the issue that she?s become irrevocably linked via some of John Lennon?s most popular songs, namely war, or more accurately peace. At the Nag show, she?d been roundly cheered when holding up a placard declaring ?Imagine Peace? and chatting to Jonty Skrufff the next day, she?s both passionate and fearless.

?We have to keep on protesting and we have to avoid staying at home being scared or just raising your fist in your mind to the politicians,? says Yoko.

?They don?t care about us, they?re not thinking about anyone else, they?re thinking about their own ideas and we have to be like that too, instead of just watching the TV news which is fed to us. We have to stop being constantly angry about politicians who don?t listen to us. I think we should create our own power, a power from the people, to create a beautiful powerbase internationally. To achieve that, we need to reach out horizontally, not vertically. If we behave in the way of saying ?Daddy, listen to me!? then Daddy will come down on us.?

THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY ADDRESS: 'GIVE PEACE A CHANCE' (2002)

Yoko Ono
Oct 2002

My esteemed sisters and brothers: I've come here today across the Atlantic to say "Give Peace A Chance." It's time for us to come together, and say it again, and to realize, again, that War Is Over, if you want it.

We need letter writing, exchange of thoughts and information. True information gives us clarity and power, though that is precisely what is held back from us now. I will give you what I know.

Only a few weeks ago, on October 5th, there was a large Peace Rally in Central Park, and over 10 thousand people came together to protest the US policy and to say "Not In My Name." This was the first Peace Rally in N.Y. against the impending war. A surprisingly large number of people gathered that day for the Rally, despite the intense political climate in the States at this time.

It delights me, and concerns me, at the same time. It is delightful that so many Americans are thinking Peace. It concerns me that this may bring another destruction on some remote island, to make a sacrificial lamb out of innocent people in an effort to urge us to go to war. That was done in the beginning of the Second World War. There's no reason to think that history will not repeat itself.

You may know that Al Gore came out with strong anti-Iraq War statements, and Ted Kennedy immediately expressed his support. The press, however, tried to discredit their statements as being made by professional politicians. Nevertheless, the effect of their statements is creating strong ripples. I hope you will pick up Al Gore's recent interviews and Op-Ed statement on the internet. He is going beyond the call of duty, possibly jeopardizing his chances for the next election, if anything.

The latest polls in the States show that although 57 % of the Americans support invasion of Iraq, if the UN and the Congress do not authorize the action, the number of Americans who would support the invasion on that basis drops to 37%. This shows that the United Nations still carries weight in the American Mind, and you, through writing to the United Nations to support their position, can too.

Write to your Statesmen, write to any institution which exerts power in the decision making of war or peace. Send letters to the editors of magazines and newspapers. Write to fashion designers, for instance, and ask them to stamp Peace on his/her advertisements. Don't fight for Peace, Stand for Peace. Write, voice and appeal. With your appeal, instill the word Peace in the minds of every being in our society.

-----

John was a war child and so was I. He was born during the bombing of Liverpool. While I was in a bomb shelter in Tokyo. In a war, which is another name for organized killing, civilians are the ones who suffer the most. Don't be misled by euphemistic expressions such as "the attack was made with surgical precision." In the wars of the twentieth century approximately 62 million civilians have perished, while nearly 43 million military personnel were killed. Soldiers came second on the death list. But then one must remember the soldiers families. How they cope with the change in their lives as a result of the loss, emotionally, physically, and financially.

We must reclaim what we are. Once we were told that we were created in the image of God. But now, we discovered that we can clone ourselves, in OUR image, by the millions, from one cell in our hair. With that kind of power, we can do almost anything. The war profiteers are strong because we allow them to confuse us and cause suspicion of each other. Divide and conquer. There policy of deception, manipulation and intimidation is working. Find peace in your heart and it will spread over the world. The effect of it is strong and immediate. Keep your quiet center, and stand for peace, instead of fighting for peace. We can do it.

Let's visualize the boat all of us are on. If this sinks like the titanic, or if we would get to the shore safely all depends on what we will do. Are we to fight the people who stand for war? Fight them and the boat will sink. Our sanity and peace is what is needed to keep the boat afloat.

In early 1981, the coroner's office gave me back John's belongings in a plain brown paper bag. Aside of being a man of peace, John was "The King of the World"...John, who had everything any man could ever want...came back to me in a brown paper bag in the end. I want you to know that. AND we were not alone. The number of people who have died by gunshot alone since John's death is ten times larger than the total number of American soldiers lost in the Vietnam War. We are indeed living in a warzone called the world. I want all of us to realize that, and so, hopefully, the healing process can begin. John would have wanted to say this to you, too.

In the end, I'd like to read my Rainbow Revelation

Bless you, bless you, bless you.
Bless you for what you are. Remember you are loved. Remember I love you.

I wish us all a beautiful future. Let us come together, create and enjoy.

Thank you.
Yoko Ono
October 2002

And just recently:

The musician/artist Yoko Ono bestowed the fourth annual award on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, praising him for releasing classified information and saying "we need to stand behind him."

Yoko Ono honored Julian Assange at her Courage Awards for the Arts ceremony in New York on Sunday evening, calling the WikiLeaks founder and political refugee "courageous" for his work.

To say that Yoko does not support peace efforts worldwide is to not know Yoko and the peace legacy that she is attempting to build (which will live on long after she too has passed).

Anyway, you're entitled to your opinion.
