Yerknow...I was born almost exactly when the term 'Beatlemania' came into existence - & I have indeed been a Beatlemaniac for longer than I can remember - starting @ least as soon as watching their Sat.A.M. cartoon show when it was actually being broadcast in the 1960s
...& I listen to Beatle-themed podcasts by highly knowledgeable, even fun people
...& still - the Anti-Yoko narrowmlndness & antipathy is thick among them quite often.
I dunno - being a Lennon worshipper (why mince words?) - maybe I just gave more credence to his judgement - & - or - my bent is simply I'm more open to the Free & the Avant-Garde...

They love TheBeatles - mock her vocalizations - & characterize her as no more than a cold opportunist. No acknowledgement of her forward vision, originality, content, or influence - barely even what she did for John! There'd be no 'Imagine' w/out Yoko. It's incalculable.

It wasn't me - tho' I have noted the bittersweetness of being intro'd to great Artists by way of Obituary Tributes these days. Yoko's in her 80s & it's been remarked how she's battled pneumonia & went to the March in a wheelchair & such. Damned impressive, she is.

First exposure other than as part of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" was a video for "Hell In Paradise" as part of a special about the works/videos of Zbigniew Rybczyński on Night Flight in the 80s. First extended listens came in 1992 and after, when I became a WFMU listener.

I really only knew about Yoko as "downfall of the Beatles" for the longest time. But I was also fascinated by the Give Peace a Chance project in bed. But then I heard the Live in NYC record and "Woman is the Ni***r of the World" and I was like whoa. Then I just allowed myself to hear whatever. I'm not sure if Yoko opened my mind to artists like Meredith Monk, Diamanda Galas (sp?), Joan LaBarbara, etc. or the other way around.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Wed. 2/15/17 8:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I don't remember ever feeling antipathy for Yoko - maybe the slightest xenophobia as a very very young NorthNewEngland honky in decades long ago. This piece illustrates a point she herself made: all kinds of people like Hendrix were being very Free w/ guitars & things - but somehow she was singled out for her vocal effects. (We get to hear Lennon open up on guitar here, Thx to her.) I always maintain that being a little brother exposed to & weened on Psychedelia from the earliest years was excellent preparation for the Avant-Garde, International Music - many things. I'm quite grateful for that - & it's despite denigration of 'Hippies' or whatever...
On the other hand - I never got around to collecting & owning Ono, & in this sense a lot of it is still hearsay to me & I'm still under-exposed & -informed in terms of details...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Wed. 2/15/17 8:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...that people could still consider her talentless & be unaware of her influence staggers me - but then most people passively like what they are fed, & wouldn't know a LeneLovich or DiamandaGalas if they were strategically dropped on them w/ precision by drones...

well, she wasn't singled out.... lots of avant-garde artists got laughed at. don't know why avant solo electric guitar was singled out for admiration, though.

she was singled out more because she was a woman, and she got heard whereas most avant-garde artists nobody heard

...like my ex-gf's dad - one of the top periodontists in the world I'm told - said - I'm sorry, but Yoko's just expressing pain - like - let's chuck VanGogh & TheBlues then - no room for that in Art...Just too close by association to the Harmonic & Melodic gifts of TheBeatles...Good points Scraps.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Wed. 2/15/17 8:57pm melinda:

@Scraps I think you are right. Her association with Lennon put her on people's radar, and she was then a popular target/scapegoat for the reasons mentioned.
Avatar Wed. 2/15/17 8:58pm tim abdellah:

First heard her (other than on the White Album) on the Live Peace in Toronto album, which is a pretty ragged set, even without Yoko. The Double Fantasy stuff I found interesting, sort of cool, sort of annoying, at the time. The first thing I totally dug by her was the "Walking on Thin Ice" single, which I still think is fantastic. Got some of her earlier solo stuff over the years - I liked "Fly" for sure. I've quite enjoyed her albums over the last decade - "Between my Head and the Sky" and "Take me to the Land of Hell". I have really appreciated her positive presence on social media over the last decade as well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Wed. 2/15/17 8:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

  Wed. 2/15/17 9:33pm Dean:

From Variety magazine, sans attribution, a June 4, 1969, review of Life with the Lions:

Yoko Ono, the Japanese wife of John Lennon, is showcased in a long vocal performance on the first side of this disk in a number titled "Cambridge 1969." It sounds very oriental and is unmistakably monotonous. It's not clear what she is wailing about since her utterance consists of one unbroken syllable running in various octaves and rhythms for over 25 minutes. On the second side, Miss [sic!] Ono is featured on a more tender, free-form ballad, "No Bed for Beatle John," which is also not destined for the charts. There is also a rhythmic piece, "Baby's Heartbeat," which could be clinically authentic. One number is without sound, which may be the most listenable thing in the set, even if it reminds of John Cage.

If I didn't have to commute back to Astoria from Jersey, I'd keep the show going for a while longer

I hacked 3 hours of Yoko & friends live back in 2011 at BAM. That was a blast!

Earliest reference I can find in Variety is from Nina Sheridan's Notes for Dancers & Singers, Nov. 24, 1961:

Yoko Ono uses dance movement, voice and instruments in a program fruitily titled "A Grapefruit in the World of Park," "A Piece for Strawberries and Violin" and others Nov. 24 6:00 p.m. at Carnegie Recital Hall...

Thanx Gary. You seriously deliver.

Earliest reference to John appears in an Oct. 6, 1962, issue of Disc, in a column, New to You, where the Beatles are introduced as "a rock-slanted vocal-instrumental group."

Another all-time program, Gary. In other words, just another Wednesday evening on the Drummer Stream. Thanks!

Rock-slanted! Night everyone, see you soon!
