Why pissed at yoko

The kind of hate that seems too big and billowing to be directed at just one woman, the kind that seems like a person or an entire society is vomiting out all its misogyny onto one convenient scapegoat. At some point — after successive Joan of Arc and Courtney Love phases — I started to see this position of feminine abjectness as a kind of superpower. A position from which a woman could offend far more deeply than a man. When I watch that Mike Douglas performance now, I see something different from what Burr does — or from what I might have seen a decade ago.

I see in Ono a locus of possibility. I see a woman throwing blood. In , Ono began staging Cut Piece , still probably her best-known work, the tone of which depends entirely on the energy in the room. Ono encourages other people to stage her pieces.

Ono eventually helped Lennon translate this kind of openness into his post-Beatles identity too. To that misconception that she is humorless, I offer the following image: a grinning Yoko Ono directing hundreds of people to walk on a treadmill as she films, in close-up, their bare asses. Always delighted by the inanity of censorship, Ono has noted that it was much more difficult to ferry the former film through Customs. He was thinking eroticism; I was thinking about visual, graphic concepts.

The Grammys were the night I began to wonder whether millennials would be the ones to finally reject the Yoko Myth. The internet approved, loudly. Look not at John Lennon; look only at Yoko Ono.

The MoMA show prompts that question, too: There is something a little dispiriting about an artist who once staged a protest against the museum being warmly welcomed within its ranks. Her meditative instruction pieces feel perfectly aligned with our mania for so-called mindfulness. Her work is being lauded by people correcting a history of female erasure — looking anew at the Doris Days instead of the Rock Hudsons. They feel, now, like the s version of a tweet.

But that had obvious technical difficulties and was very likely that the plan would have remained as one of my beautiful never-nevers. Already a subscriber? Picture Information.

Post by P-Dub The Beatles have influenced my existence pretty much my whole life. Post by P-Dub Yoko is not a Beatle. Post by P-Dub And by the way - I am not a racist. I hate Yoko for being a bitch not cause she is Japanese. Post by Seamus Aardvaark You are another one of the Yokotards who look for any excuse to bash her.

You are not Beatle fans as much as you are racists and Yoko haters. You are disgusting. Post by poisoned rose I don't recall "BeatleEd" being of that ilk.

Post by poisoned rose Now, "P-Dub" God, is he shrill. He might not be in the Yokotard category, but he is a lesser hater of Yoko. There is no need to pour gas on the Yoko fire. If you dislike me because my opinion doesn't match yours - then you are childish. I don't like her - period.
