Last Friday on Twitter, Yoko Ono announced that she’d answer questions tweeted to @yokoono on her website and mine was one of the ones she answered:

@RichardMetzger
Do you find that children ?��Ǩ?�get?��Ǩ�� your conceptual art pieces better than adults?

@yokoono
Not necessarily. There are kids who think they are grown ups and don?��Ǩ�Ѣt want to know anything that smells like kids stuff. And there are grown-ups who are still kids at heart who clearly get my work.

I love Yoko Ono. I am a complete Yoko Ono fanatic, so this was a wonderful thing. It made my day! You can read the rest of the Yoko Q & A here.

And you can watch her perform “Whole Lotta Yoko” with “The Dirty Mac” (Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell, Keith Richards and John Lennon) as part of the Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus below:

Having been an art student in the 70s, I’ve always admired her conceptual art. Truly brilliant stuff! On the other hand, I’ve always compared her “singing” voice to a slipping fan belt on a rusty chevy. Everyone in the band seemed to be having a hard time keeping a straight face, except for Lennon…

I too dig Yoko’s art. She was part of Fluxus, ferchrissake!
I look at it completely opposite to the mainstream Beatlefan standpoint - not that Yoko took John away from the Beatles, but rather her marriage to Lennon overshadowed her own art.
Not that talented female artists need any help getting ignored in the first place….

I still think the best post-Beatle album is Approximately Infinite Universe.  OK, maybe the first Lennon solo album (primal scream)...  but it would run a close second.
