11. More misogyny and racism around here
Yeah, all you people who attack Yoko, and blame her for breaking up the Beatles:

She did not break up the Beatles. They were sick of each other and had produced superhuman amounts of amazing music.

Yeah, she does do annoying screaming, or used to. That'a something against her. But it's minor. She's not perfect and none of us are perfect.

However, she does have more musical talent than Linda did!!! Linda had NONE.

She's an artist and she's weird. So what?

You people who attack her are no better than that old racist Al Capp who called her "Madame Nhu" in the movie "Imagine" when they were having the Bed In for Peace (yeah right, all oriental females are the same).

She also had an excellent education in Japan growing up. That included a musical education. John said he was inspired by hearing her play the Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven on the piano. You cannot play all those arpeggios and be a musical idiot.

It takes several years of piano lessons and practice to play the Moonlight Sonata. I know of where I speak. I have played the piano since I was five years old and learned to read music. I had 12 years of piano lessons.

I suspect she's a lot smarter than she lets on. Maybe that's where the style of "Imagine" came from.

And she's using her power and influence to promote peace, just like she did when John was alive.

I think we should all play "Happy Xmas/War is Over" on Dec. 8th and throughout the Xmas season.
