The John Lennon definition of Art no 2 (No 1 was "avant garde a clue") - "It's art because I say it's art." Fair enough. Doesn't mean it's good art, though. I've always liked Andy Warhol's definition of art: "Art is a man's name."

Yoko's first husband was a musician named Toshi Ichiyanagi. Tony Cox was #2, Lennon #3.
Maybe Sam didn't give her a ring.

Now that I've taken that off the list, I need to work on you and vegetarianism. Never will happen. Meat is a very important source of protein and we were given incisors because we were intended to feast on animals. Never is a long time . Since the years dealing with me have certainly made you more rational , I will say that the amount of meat people eat is way above the amount of protein they need. So, if one must eat meat, cut way down. Also, we were not "intended" to eat animals. More accurately, we were most likely intended to be omnivorous. Which I would think means that humans, in order to survive, could eat meat ONLY, if that was the only thing around, and they could survive on plants alone, if that was the ONLY thing around. You could not say the same about most animals. Today we have choices to be either meat eaters or plant eaters. Since today it is a matter of choice, one would think that they would lean more towards a diet that is healthier, more economic, and more eco-friendly - plant based. Don't worry everyone. I have no intention of hijacking this thread beyond what I've said here. I'll even let JoeK have the last word if he wants it.

Still, not very complimentary lyrics by Yoko about her three husbands. John might have made her housebound but they were in freaking mansions or the hip Dakota in a desirable part of NYC! Poor Yoko!

Not even the best studio musicians in New York City could salvage this drek. And she delivers lyrics that sound more like banal nursery rhymes as if she's spouting cosmic profundities. Holy jeeziz!

I find this one strangely moving, even with the off-key singing. I like how it shows that John was still moving people -- and all across the boards of humanity -- right to the very end of his career.

Yoko was an actress at one time in a B-movie. Can't remember the title, but she was very unYoko. Didn't stand out at all.

Since the years dealing with me have certainly made you more rational , Even with the addition of your "winky" emoticon here, you're flattering yourself. So we have agreed on some things here and there - consider yourself smart on those few occasions. How the hell do you even know how much meat I consume? I probably don't eat enough and am far too reliant on starches. I say we were -- so nyah, nyah. That's why God gave us incisors. How about you keep your vegetarianism to yourself, preferably shoved up your ass?

Its a proven fact that people can exist on an all vegetable diet. Can they exist on an all meat diet? I know famed 60s LSD dealer Owsley -- among his many colorful theories -- was an advocate of the all-meat diet (he felt vegetables were poison for the human metabolism). Until his triple bipass surgery.

On the other hand I think I've heard of Eskimos that subsist on all blubber diets. So maybe I'm wrong.

Oh, I thought you were claiming Yoko had been secretly married twice more after John's death. Nah, I forgot about Toshi and I thought Tony Cox was #1, John #2 and couldn't figure out who was #3. But I am still a little unhappy with Yoko's claim that John(along with Toshi and Tony) made her housebound. Yoko definitely was an artist before meeting John but her association with John gave Yoko a world platform, not just with some small intellectual circle. Geez, I hope Tony Hicks makes me likewise "housebound!" I could only be so lucky!

My understanding is that it was Yoko's idea in the first place for John to withdraw from the public for 5 years and for both of them to be "housebound." One of the reasons being she wanted to resolve all the lawsuits against John before they embarked on further entanglements. Which she did. Sharp legal mind, Yoko. Two, she knew John was on a self destructive path and needed to clean up his act. Which he did. And three she thought it would be healthy for John to spend a lot of time with Sean. Which it was. Yoko probably saved John's ass here. . . . But leave it to Yoko to play at being the martyr.
