like, wow.... 72. And still performing live... and putting out dance singles.

How many other 72 year-olds are putting out dance singles???


I ask you.

say what you want about her (and i know some of you will), but for my money...



this album is absolutely fantabulously brilliant.

i'm glad yoko has lived to see another year. i hope she lives to see many more.

No comment

She has kept back loadsa lennon recordings apparantly. Not that I care but that is mean on the fans.

Sounds like quite the manipulator.

As far as music goes.....errrrr no.

She is the courntey love of the beatles. poor john

good comparison. I never though of that

well, at least a yoko thread made it to two posts before the bashing began...that may be a world wide web record!!!

for those of you who can't see beyond the media cliches and the bitter beatle-fan profiling, it's your loss.

"poor john"? he died in the arms of the woman he loved. she may not be a saint, but she made him happy. was that wrong of her to do?

Anxiety said:

I just can't see beyond the majorly shitty music.

And, oh, yeah, she's a total bitch, too.

VoicesCarry said:

so you've met her?

Anxiety said:

Nah, just people who have.

But shit, that voice must be the first thing you hear in hell. Like diamonds on chalkboard.

Not a fan of Yoko's music, but I do think that her exhibitions are definitely interesting. I always liked her instruction pieces, too:


Count all the stars of that night by heart. The piece ends when all the orchestra members finish counting the stars, or when it dawns. This can be done with windows instead of stars.


And say what you will about her, but you can't deny that John loved her.

VoicesCarry said:

what did she do to those people? because i know people (from my previous life as a new yorker) who have met her and they said it was a wonderful experience.

and does having a wacky voice make you a bad person? if so, morrissey and bob dylan's marathon 5-hour cover of "enough is enough" will be the first thing i hear in hell.

Anxiety said:

No, having a wack voice makes you an annoying-as-hell musical artist.

I know this ain't music related but she has lived off Johns name. That is shitty.

Perhaps she won't make 73 (fingers crossed).

For those who dont know why she's often so hated...do a little research on the events surrounding John Lennons funeral...then you'll get an insight into one of the main reasons (in my opinion)

"Here, you can put John's face on mug. Give me royalties."

whatevs. never mind her efforts with keeping john's killer behind bars while holding true to john's anti-death penalty beliefs. never mind the positive things she's said and done. i've noticed that people who hate on yoko feel like they have to commit to it, like it's some kind of investment that allows them to make cheap, easy jokes at parties or whatever. i can't compete with that, so i'll leave you guys to talk shit about an old lady in an internet thread ostensibly created to recognize her birthday.

like she needs your money anyway.

Besides, John Lennon was hardly a saint, either. Leaving his wife, abandoing his first son, taking credit for Beatles songs he didn't write...shall I go on?

Anxiety said:

You could be Sean or you could be Yoko.

I'm still trying to decide what makes you take this bim so damn seriously.

Axchi696 said:

Yeah, but at least he could:

a) sing

b) make good music

So I forgive him

screw this greedy bitch

I have no problem with the solo stuff. I have a problem with the constant milking of the JL tracks. Put them out or not. Don't tease.

SquirrelMeat said:

i personally think she's done a pretty good job w/ John's music. The fans want every scrap, and that is what she is trying to do, in the best way possible.

And i'm a huge fan of her music as well.

I forget who said it, but it bears repeating: "There's a reason why the coolest guy in the world fell in love with her."

Go Yoko!!! May you be putting out dance remixes well into your 90's!

wow, that's too bad

purpledoveuk said:

post'em! I havent seen that yet.

I heard Yoko wouldn't let Julian Lennon to the funeral or something like that. She just shut him out.....I got one of his albums. Very 80's.....commericial


Who could forget sean in "moonwalker"?

The black kid was great, but sean couldn't even bust 1 move of Michaels

You got Photograph Smile? I think it came out in 2000. It is fantastic.. he sounds like his father.. beautiful album..

[quote]

I only own 1 album."mr jordan" i think it was called. Really poppy too. I think it had Modonna's main producer on it? I can vaguely remember "open your eyes" for some reason? may have to dig it out again.....

i found it at a car boot sale. In England, these can be great to find very cheap rare stuff.

Sdldawn said:

Well 'rumour' has it from many sources that,after his death, John Lennons family wanted him to be burried whereas Yoko wanted him to be cremated. The 2 groups couldnt agree and arranged to meet up to discuss their differences....Yoko promtly arranged for cremation the day before they arrived.

Thats what Ive heard from many places and fans, It might not be true but I guess only family would know that
