BREAKING NEWS: Study Released On &quot;Music&quot; Of Yoko Ono

NEW YORK, NY (DPI) -

Musicologists who have spent much of the last few decades assuming that the music of ex-Beatle Yoko Ono was too advanced for a public notoriously unwilling or incapable of appreciating cutting-edge music were relieved to learn yesterday that Ms. Ono's music was not actually ahead of its time, it was merely bad.

The results of a study commissioned by the Berklee College of Music were released, and should forever lay to rest the idea that Ms. Ono's compositions were anything more than pure, unadulterated caterwauling. &quot;Oh, it's sh-t, alright-absolute sh-t,&quot; said Roger Hollingworth, who headed the commission. &quot;At first we had to consider the possibility that there was some deeper meaning, seeing as how the 'music' in question seems to be from another planet. But the more we listened to it, the more it became apparent that it's just really, really bad. Horrendous, actually. I'm quite certain the woman hasn't a fscking clue as to what she's doing.&quot;

This comes as a shock to the members of the Yoko Ono Appreciation Society, both of whom expressed dismay at the findings. Julian Lennon, son of slain Beatle John Lennon, Ono's former husband, was not surprised, saying, &quot;Yoko shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a musical instrument-not even a tambourine. She's dangerous.&quot;

My reply to him was, &quot;It took ten years and a study? They never asked me. I knew that the first time I heard it.&quot; 🙂
 
When I saw the title of this thread, all I could think of was the cover of the Lennon album with him and Yoko naked. *shudder*
 
Ah, that reminds me. The Cartoon Network recently aired a hilarious special version of &quot;The PowerPuff Girls&quot; called &quot;Meet the Beat Alls.&quot;

In this fast-moving spoof, the Fab Four are the villains 🙂Q), and a &quot;performance criminal&quot; named Moko Jono helps our fearless PP Girls to free the world from the British invaders. This episode, chock full of inside references and quotes for Beatlemaniacs, premiered on February 9th - the day the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time, in 1964! Wowee! Coincidence or conspiracy? Hmm...

I hope they will replay this so that I can tape it for posterity. I highly recommend it, even to non-PowerPuff persons.
 


<< I found that out years ago after listening to Two Virgins >>



That's the album I was thinking of...couldn't place the name!

*shudders again*
 
OMFG I just saw the album cover :disgust:



<< Nothing if you're into toneless shrieking. >>


John Lenon was cool. But I haven't heard Yoko Ono yet. (keyword YET)
 
Experience has taught me that Yoko's piercing screeches are useful in making dogs howl, and I suspect that her &quot;music&quot; might facilitate the rapid exit of rodents from one's premises, but other than these zoological phenomena, I think she's a waste of possibly useful atoms.
 
I lost all respect for John Lennon when I heard that Julian and his mother were living in near poverty while John doted on Sean. Yeah, peace to the world but screw my own kid. Screw him... :|
 


<< I think she's a waste of possibly useful atoms. >>



Jean,
You're too kind. 😉
Really just too kind. 😛
