Tom, Your honest and level-headed comments are really putting a damper on our senseless Yoko bashing.

Yoko must have been born in 1923?? well when I first hear the two virgins album when it came out in what 1969?? I thought Lennon and Ono went cucko... and when they didthe Peace bed thing in Montreal... and then he even came to ann arbor Mich to do the free John Sinclair rally as they jailed him for smoking dope... and so The Beatkes and John always influenced me in Pop culture and since I played Music they where a big inspiration.... they also disbanded in 70 so it was very odd.... But through the years Ive grown to see that Yoko was a free thinker and i can see that just like any art its all interpitation.... Funny thing is I quit music pusueing in 1980 after John was shot as i was so shaken by the entire thing... here was a guy that got killed by a fan... what a waste.... and so when my kid wanted to be in Music I told him all the pitfalls.. so whats he do.?? Goes into Music and film... Also Johnny told me that while inHamburg Lennon and the beatles would piss on peoples heads that where going to church on sunday morn in Hamburg.. I guess they where real rowdy bunch... So to me Yoko is cool and part of the whole 60s ,, movement along with Wharhol and the dada movement and the other art movements of the time... the Voice and all was just a extention of originality and crossing the limits of expression almost like a cry of primal screeming.... so in a way I think that why lennon loved her as he too saw all the BS of society.. and thats why he compared the Beatles attraction to Jesus was that he saw they where just simple Liverpool lads that with some beefed up marketing from Epsiten where able to project a image that peopel made up half the time.. they just went with the flow.. like the LSD lucy inthe sky withdiamonds and more... all just peopel seeing in it what they wanted.... well I was emailing with Julian Lennon and i told him about my sones film... not relizing salami JOE the film is about a Buluga whale sauage...recipe... well Julian ironiically did a film about saving whales... so I offended him a isuspect but he defriended me off facebook... which Then i wrote and kidded him as to being a limey and also that i would take away his white geather status that he thinks was a omen from aboriginies in austrailia that his dad said would help him..... so I sent him into orbit.... Then I joked on the AMIA list awahile back... that Paul wrote all the John songs to archivists world over...I thought it was a hoot as It was always a joke who wrote what... well the archivists got theire feathers rufflesd and through me off the Group... yep... so the beatles appear to love me..... I once talked to Lindas step mom .. John eastmans wife and my friend was her neighbor in ScarsdaleNY where she came from.... a poster friend In UK had Mal evans ) beatles Roadie) daughter that helped selling posters and stuff.... Once in NYC at a trade show.. Avi hersh a button maker said you shouldme paul he would like yourstuff as he collects animation...I came two inches from shaking hands in Detroit when His manager met me backstage in 1976 on a wings tour,, Brian brawley,,, and as i turned my back Paul and linda hopped in a limo and took off waving,,, they had to leave the airport by 9pm for a noise ordinance.,, that was so close.. like 3 foot... I did meet Pete best and took him to a jazz bar with the band in Toledo called Rustys and we talked... seems his mom owned the van , and rehearsal place and was like the manager ,,, and when Brian came on board he said the mom has to go if you want me and so did Pete... Can you imagine that???? so me being kicked off newslist is nothing comapared to pete being kicked out of the Beatles.. In summery I think Yoko is a sweetheart and she misses John so much and she is trying still to forgive and get world peace... To me shes a pillar and john would be proud of her and Sean and even Julian although Julian seems deeply hurt and yet loves his dad and even collects beatle stuff, does photography and music and seems like a great soul also... we all are just trying to find our way in this crazy thing we call Life... I like the beatle lyrics and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.. sums it up for me...
