Default Proof that love can make you lose your mind!

Good effing Lord John! You left The Beatles for THIS shit??


This is like worse than karaoke! How did anyone honestly enjoy this music? I'll bet Dick Cavett was off stage laughing his ass off! And WTF is going on at the 2:13 mark?? LOL!

yawn. Yoko bashing is so tired. People always dig up the same 2 or 3 clips of her at her worst to bash her with.

It must sting that she's 80 and still going strong, doesn't it?

It's mind boggling. Her "music" is terrible, yet Rolling Stones gives it 5/5 every time. It really ruins the flow of some of Lennon's best work (like Double Fantasy, which has some of John's best stuff and some truly horrid Yoko stuff mixed in)

I'm just saying, if she wasn't sucking John Lennon's dick she'd be seating customers at Shogun's Japanese Steak House! She is awful!

what are you on? Yes. Yoko's early screaming stuff can be very hard to enjoy, but Double Fantasy? That is Yoko in her prime musically, the songs off that album are some of her best work. I think you just harbor resentment of Yoko because you cannot get over something that happened 45 years ago if you cannot tell the difference between "Walking On Thin Ice" (which is considered a classic of 80's dance/rock and has influenced many artists in the genre), which is Yoko actually semi-conventional and making quality music and "Don't Worry Kyoko", which is Yoko screaming.

Seriously... Double Fantasy is Yoko at her most accessible and user-friendly and you're just coming in with a bias if you can't hear the difference with her most toned-down pop-friendly tracks there, and a song like this which is her screaming and yelling. I don't like her screaming music at all, but I do enjoy her more conventional songs. Her latest album is mostly the latter and I enjoy it. The Beatles broke up nearly 45 years ago, time to let that one go when even Paul McCartney himself says Yoko had nothing to do with why they split. If the guy in the band who has never been Yoko's biggest supporter can defend her and say she doesn't deserve the wrath of Beatle-fans, I think fans should listen.

One good thing is that younger generations who see Yoko's influence on Bjork, Patti Smith and others can actually enjoy her for what she is, instead of the people who still feel robbed that The Beatles never turned into an endless touring joke like The Who or The Stones and blame Yoko for the fact that the two principle songwriters had big egos and couldn't work together any longer. If Paul Simon, The Beastie Boys and Questlove can get it, why cares what someone who wishes The Beatles had been able to release a "Dirty Work" of their own thinks? Hell, imagine if The Stones had called it after Exile... they'd be as mythic as The Beatles are.

If she had never met John Lennon no would know who the **** she is.

I wasn't even alive when John Lennon was. I don't care what she did or didn't do to the Beatles. You appear to be the one stuck on that.

But her music is terrible. I haven't listened to it in about a year, but I believe there was 1 Yoko song I cared for on that album.
