I have been a musician all my life and of the many bands I have been in, it was always some busy-body band member's wanna be a musician manipulating wife trying to run the show was responsible for every single band break-up.

Regarding her singing, anyone ever hear JOE COCKER? And, while I'm on it, how about Michael Bolton? Talk about someone sounding like a bull moose bellowing when in heat! Apparently, John Lennon loved Yoko. Whatever he considered "artistic", was his call. How it affected his career was, as well.

There will always be those who would rather blame racism or sexism or whateverism, than face the truth about themselves.

BULLSHIT!!!! Yoko just sucks and she was just SELFISH. Plus she is a BITCH. thats why the other Beatles didn't like her. I would LOVE to hear Sir Paul's, George, and Ringo's point of view. I'm SURE it would be the truth. Not some howling scratching LIE.

First the war had been over for 23 years when John met Yoko, so I do not agree with the racism comment. Two of the other Beatles were married at the time. You didn't see their wives hanging around Abby Road. The Beatles were a foursome & when John started including Yoko in the Beatles projects it was resented by the rest of the group. Yoko should have stuck to her art & let John & Paul stick to their's.
She had to sense the tension in the studio, but she didn't care.

Oh, brother!
I think back then people didn't like her, not because she was Japanese, but because they think she broke up the marriage of John & Cynthia Lennon. She had her own agenda....her music. I still don't like the fact that John Lennon deserted his son, Julian, basically.
In the long run, a Beatles breakup was inevitable. They were going in different directions. No one was to blame.

Her singing sounds like a room full of cats being strangled.

YOKO:

It was not racism or anything like it. You stepped out in front- recording with John, etc. Most, if not all, of the public did not understand your voice or your art. So, you did not EARN your place "on stage"- and the public rightly resented you for standing up there, and taking advantage. So what if John asked you to? The RIGHT thing to do (read: non-narcissistic) was to say "NO, John- I'll record and perform when and if I have earned it- not because you already have a platform YOU have earned". And you should have kept on refusing. But you didn't- you grabbed the spotlight, with what most people felt was little or no talent, and stayed right there. If you had stayed far in the background, and stayed to your obscure gallery shows, and told John you would have nothing to do with his venue, the public would not have distained you. Period.

ONO, IF ONLY YOU WERE A GOAT THAT MIGHT BE OK...BUT YOU A 100% DAWG AND THE SOUTH END OF A NORTH BOUND DAWG....HAVE YOU EVER HEARD YOUR BAND AND YOU NEITHER CAN CARRY A TUNE IN A BAG HOPE YOU GET THIS

Yoko - for once in your life; GET A LIFE instead of living your worthless life through someone else. Face the facts, if not for John Lennon you would be, "Yoko who?" You weren't a Beatle and never will be. Like that worthless hanger-oner, Heather Mills - your 15 minutes is OVER - now just go away and enjoy your ill-gotten money.
