Yoko Ono has apologized to Paul McCartney for insinuating that his songs are trite.


Accepting an award on behalf of John Lennon last month, Ono said Lennon had sometimes felt insecure about his songs, asking "why they always cover Paul's songs and never mine."


"I said, `You're a good songwriter, it's not June with spoon that you write.'"


After reports of the apparent slight circulated, Ono apologized in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, now on newsstands.


"I certainly did not mean to hurt Paul, and if I did, I am very sorry," she says.


McCartney has sometimes clashed with Ono, Lennon's widow.


She objected when McCartney reversed the traditional "Lennon-McCartney" songwriting credit on his 2002 album, "Back in the U.S." Ono's spokesman accused him of attempting to "rewrite history."


McCartney had earlier complained that Ono wouldn't let him take credit for "Yesterday," a song written entirely by McCartney.

Too little too late.

Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't really sound like an apology.

"I am very sorry" she said
What else do you need?

PANDURITO said:

Yeah, I thought of that as I was typing it.

She's sorry for hurting Paul, but she didn't say she was sorry for making those comments. It's a classic asshole copout of "if what I said offended you, I'm sorry for that, but I still stand by it." At least she's halfway there.

PANDURITO said:

"I certainly did not mean to hurt Paul" is different from "I shouldn't have said that" is what he's getting at, I think.

GangstaFam said:

yeah but she was making the statement to boost her husbands feelings...she was simply sharing a story. sure she errored in making the statement public but hey, she apologized.

case closed. i doubt paul even cares...

GangstaFam said:

Yeah that's what I meant to say.

she's said "i'm sorry for hurting paul"

she thinks "i'm sorry for only hurting paul, i should have killed him"

bitch

Foko Ono.

Oh no! Please don't use those words around me.

too late bitch. go take a dirt nap.

that doesn't sound like a very heartfelt, sincere 'apology' to me.

i have to agree w/GangstaFam: it sounds like she's giving the old "gee, i'm sorry if what i said made you feel bad." NON-apology, which is not apologizing for having been an asshole, or for having said an asshole remark -- it's basically saying 'sorry you didn't like what i said'.

i think what Yoko's really sorry about is the backlash AT HER that her remarks caused.
