To be honest I think I read somewhere that Yoko happened to do a vocal on my personal favorite Beatle song .

Yeah she sings one of the lines.
yeah i think youre right electrogal...
ive mixed feelings about yoko ono, on one hand you could look at it as a grand love story, on the other you could look at it as someone who seemed incapable of being in a relationship with someone obviously very famous but not being able to handle it properly and have her own 'thing' and interests and whatever while he worked, then having their personal life as a separate entity , i mean, at the end of the day thats what it was, work, that was his 'job'...
i suppose everyone knows the myth or whatever that shes the reason the beatles broke up and who knows if thats true or not...but imo it was weird that he couldnt seem to do jack shit without her being attached to his hip...
but i guess people could say the same about paul/linda mc. etc...
i just personally find it weird and suffocating to imagine (ha!) having my nose in every single fucking thing the person i was with or married to was involved in, especially when they are musicians/actors/etc (in the public eye)...i dunno what im getting at tbf, im rambling about being involved with someone famous and being secure enough in myself to get on with MY thing, whatever that may be, while they get on with theirs and maintaining the personal relationship and not being in the papers every other fucking day, also being savvy enough to know when my actions are causing problems for them work-wise, rather than having some crazy bed-in
...im musing out loud basically. because i can.

I've noticed it before, but that video makes it really obvious that the movie Harry Potter is modelled on John Lennon.
i have thought about this, for years
and my first instinct remains:
yoko and john loved each other.
they really did.

yeah i dont doubt for a second that they didnt love each other.
she has pretty much dedicated her life to keeping his memory alive.
and that takes a lot of dedication dont it.
what does a bands own private self- doubts got to do with what people think of the music?

Yoko using John Lennon's blood stained glasses an album cover was pretty ill.
i think she's a bit too into that sort of 'shock tactics' thing
like cheesy said, i do think they loved each other...but she has mad a fortune on monopolising on his name thats for sure!
I don't think she's cashing in so much as she hasn't moved on
She was really succesful in her own right before she met john
she may never move on though...it would be understandable if she didnt.
successful as what? i dont kow anything about her before she and lennon hooked up.
what did she do? dont say sing.

She was a successful avant garde artist before she met John.
was she? fuck me, anyone can make it then.
i miss johnny canuck
theres some perfect lyrics for this thread, and its an ace song.

she's an artist, but she was a proffessor of art as well. she was the first woman to ever go to this really famous japanese university or something
this exhibition i went to had a sort of brief story of her life and she did a lot of impressive stuff before she married john
she was one of the pioneers of that conceptual art (which everyone hates now)

What do you mean?
i bet thats how they met...at some art gallery.
i just know it!
i had no idea she was such a success before john though, good for her.
he went to see her art exhibition, liked her stuff and chatted her up
i thought you meant she was a singer, and if she can make it singing then anyone can
...then isitme explained to me what she did before john.

Yeah they met at one of her exhibitions. Apparently she didn't know who he was or had ever heard of The Beatles. Reckon that's blatant bollocks though.

I don't hate her. I don't know if I like her either. I respect her obvious strength. Can't help but think she can probably be a bit of a wanker, but then, so was Lennon.
what happened then?
we all had to put up with her for 40 years
