Yoko Ono has faced harsh criticism throughout her career — so much so that it would be easy to assume she no longer hears or pays attention to any of it.
In the new issue of Rolling Stone, Paul McCartney says he's done with his fued with Yoko Ono. He has buried the hatchet, so to speak, and has moved on. He says he actually admires her a little, even called her "badass"
As part of Yoko Ono's UK press blitz for her efforts as curator of the 2013 Meltdown Festival in London, the 80-year-old artist/activist acknowledged the pressures inherent in her marriage to the late John Lennon, describing being married to a Beatle as "the most difficult thing to be."
Since John Lennon was shot and killed on Dec. 8, 1980, his widow Yoko Ono has devoted herself to campaigning for stricter gun control legislation -- so it's only fitting that yesterday (March 21), Ono celebrated what should have been their 44th wedding anniversary by issuing a poignant reminder of what's at stake in the ongoing battle over our interpretation of the Second Amendment.
For many years, there has been much speculation that John Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, influenced the Beatles breakup, but Paul McCartney says that it's not true and that the band was splitting regardless of Ono.
Nobody's more surprised at this than yours truly. After hearing her sing with her Husband (I should say screeching), she's come a long way. Not bad for 78.
