Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. Or is that a million monkeys and a million typewriters and Shakespeare or something? |

Location: closely held secret | How ironic that 2 of the most recognizable singing voices from such an influential band should marry women who can't sing, and then proceed to make albums with them...
I also agree with Paul and Dave. Apparently JL got what he needed out of the relationship, so who cares?
I don't think I ever made it all the way through side 2 of "Live Peace in Toronto"...
...but when I saw the title, "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow)", and saw the lyrics I knew Lennon must have had something to do with it. |

Was "LivePeace" the one with Zappa and the song "Scumbag" (is it okay t'ype THAT one, Al??) or am I mistaking it for the other disc that came with "Sometime in NewYork"?? |

...and "not for nuttin" but don't cha think a Beatle could have hooked up with a decent looking woman? Maybe it's just me. |

Frank says "the name of this song is scumbag, and for those in the band that don't know what we are doing it is in the key of A and does not follow the classic blues changes"
Or something like that |

Location: south east Michigan | There was a documentary about Lennon on HBO recently.
At one point the narrator says, "About this time, Yoko first introduced John to heroin."..... :mad: :mad:
And I know it's damning with faint praise, but Linda could sing circles around Yoko. |

The book is very interesting and insightful and contains the ENTIRE interview vs the little snippit that Playboy actually published. |

As we all know, heroin is an opiate, very closely related to the pain killer morphine, this would explain how he could stand to listen to her voice.... |

That scumbag video was great...especially when Howard put the bag on Yoko's head. It's just a shame he didn't also take the mic away. |

For the Norman Rockwell view of life, listen to Macca. |

| I don't believe Yoko introduced Lennon to H.
Clapton wouldn't have been Hoovering it up, he would have been jacking it up.
She was/is a talentless, money-grabbing, thick-as-shit failed artist, but you can't exactly lay all the faults of the world at her doorstep. If'n you take drugs you got NOBODY but yourself to blame. I know whereof I speak.
Cold Turkey is one of the best things Lennon ever wrote - and the guitar part that Clapton dreamt up is as close to genius as anything he ever did. It's like having razors dragged across your eyeballs. |
