Yoko Ono continues her quest for a better life

My favorite Lennon story has always been him asking the waitress 'Do you know who I am?" the waitress saying "Yeah, you're some asshole with a kotex on his head"

In all fairness that was during the Lost Weekend. Not excusing his asshole-ness, but I'm a fan. Not of that hose beast Yoko, though.

Can't hate on Yoko.

Ok, yea I can a little.

In fairness my father knew Lennon, and he acted like an asshole quite a bit according to what I've been told. I'm a fan too, but I'll take my dad's and his partners' words on it. And everyone I've known that ever met Yoko like her, which is the polar opposite of her rep, so go figure.

Walking on Thin Ice has the best vomit sounds ever recorded, even though it's actually Yoko's singing.

Im not sainting him like the rest of the world does. I know he was an ass, but it won't stop me from being a fan.

^ It won't stop me from being a fan either.

But I listen to Wagner, so...........

Fuck her.

wow, i had no idea about all of this.

I'm a huge Beatles fan and can admit John was a huge asshole though I will say that after his lost weekend he seemed to turn a corner at least at home with Yoko and Sean. He still managed to do nothing for Julian.

I think John would be pretty horrified that she was shilling cheap bling though.

This thread has shown me how little I know about John Lennon. Damn.

I like keys and keyhole shapes, which sounds weird, I know, but I do, so to be honest I like these pieces. I don't know that I could afford one, but I think they're interesting.

Her, though...all I can see in my mind when Yoko appears is that AbFab where "Yoko" was joining them via satellite but all you could see was her forehead and eyes.
