  • Yoko On Her Music Vs. The Beatles

    From Norbert K@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 5 05:01:23 2022
    "Everything I did, whether in music or art or film, was sort of revolutionary. At least, that was the way I felt. I was trying to do something that might further the medium. If I didn't do that, I didn't see any point in doing it.

    "So I wondered why John was doing this music with the Beatles. I'd go to a session and they'd be playing 'Yellow Submarine' or something, and I'd go 'Why are they wasting their time?'

    -- Yoko Ono, to the LA Times in May of 1981

    Suicide might have furthered the medium a bit more than anything she
    ever wailed in to a microphone!

    Could her boasting be any further from reality? Everything she did *regressed* the medium.
