    Imagine how intensely John and Paul must have worked to hone their abilities as players, performers and songwriters.

    And here John is supporting somebody who is completely oblivious to rhythm, melody, and harmony. It's tragic. He was sucked into Yoko's narcissistic vortex.

    And yet she had a couple of #1 dance chart records on Billboard decades later.

    What did that actually signify, though? I never heard any of her supposed hits on the radio and I don't know anyone who bought the records.

    I do remember Yoko appearing on The View about 10 years ago, writhing strangely in a manner that I suppose she imagined was dance.

    You mean you listen to radio stations that play modern dance music????

    So your gonna give us anecdotal evidence that YOU don't know anybody who bought Yoko's dance music, so therefore you don't think they were really hits? Just how many people do you know who normally bu current dance music hits?

    It signifies that Yoko had some releases that were huge hits in dance clubs.

    Beginning in 2003, some DJs remixed other Ono songs for dance clubs. For the remix project, she dropped her first name and became known simply as "ONO", in response to the "Oh, no!" jokes that dogged her throughout her career. Ono had great success with
    new versions of "Walking on Thin Ice", remixed by top DJs and dance artists including Pet Shop Boys,[108] Orange Factory,[109] Peter Rauhofer, and Danny Tenaglia.[110] In April 2003, Ono's Walking on Thin Ice (Remixes) was rated number 1 on Billboard's
    Dance/Club Play chart, gaining Ono her first no. 1 hit. She would have a second no. 1 hit on the same chart in November 2004 with "Everyman... Everywoman...", a reworking of her song "Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him". Ono had further Dance/Club Play
    chart no. 1 hits with "No No No" in January 2008, and "Give Peace a Chance" the following August. In June 2009, at the age of 76, Ono scored her fifth no. 1 hit on the Dance/Club Play chart with "I'm Not Getting Enough".[4]

    It means I don't think Yoko ever had any hits in the traditional sense of that term. Yoko's supposed hits were not hit in the sense that the Beatles' singles and records were.

    No, I don't seek out dance music. I never sought out disco, either; but I was aware of, say, Donna Summer's hits. She didn't even have to redefine her terms; she had real top-40 hits.

    According to Yoko, however, everything is art.

    You can't argue with success. Speaking of success, I've been at the number one spot on the rock charts for weeks so I can relate. Most people are not sophisticated enough to understand Yoko or myself for that matter.
    Be sure to click on me many times to keep me at the top. https://www.reverbnation.com/main/charts?geo=local&country=US&state=GA&city=Columbus&region=522&genre=rock&page=1

    The curse was that John would fall prey to Asian women, who would try to lead him to his doom...
