A British artist and Yoko Ono ate a corgi dog, famous for being Queen Elizabeth II's favourite breed, in protest on Tuesday after a group including her husband Prince Philip allegedly killed a fox earlier this year.

Have you ever seen this thing where she had strangers from the audience come up and cut her clothes off with scissors? It's cool.

Yoko Ono in legal feud over rare Lennon footage By Jason Szep




Footage of John Lennon smoking pot, writing songs and discussing putting the hallucinogenic drug LSD in President Richard Nixon's tea is the focus of a court case starting in Boston next week over whether the video should be made public.

The case pits Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, against Lawrence, Massachusetts-based World Wide Video, which claims ownership of nine hours of raw footage of the former Beatle and Ono that was filmed just weeks before the "Fab Four" broke up in 1970.

World Wide, a New England consortium of Beatles collectors, wants to release the black-and-white footage as a two-hour film titled "3 days in the life" about Lennon during a pivotal and turbulent time for the most celebrated band of the 1960s.

Rolling Stone magazine dubs it "awesome John Lennon footage you might never see."

The company, which paid more than $1 million for the footage after legal costs and other expenses, nearly premiered it last year at the private Berwick Academy in Maine but abruptly scrapped the screening after the school received a stop order from Ono's lawyers, who assert copyright ownership of the videotapes.

World Wide has filed a suit in U.S. District Court in Boston against Ono for copyright infringement. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 30.

According to court documents, World Wide said it bought 24 original videotapes and their copyrights in 2000 from Anthony Cox, Ono's husband before her marriage to Lennon in 1969.

Cox shot the footage at Lennon's estate in England for a documentary he planned titled "Portrait."

The footage, recorded from February 8 to 11, 1970, shows Lennon composing two hits, "Remember" and "Mind Games," along with a candid discussion of his drug use and scenes that World Wide describes as "intimate and no-holds-barred."

World Wide asserts that shortly after purchasing the videotapes, along with 10 copies, they were stolen in 2000. The company filed a separate civil suit a year later against a New Hampshire man who agreed to return the copies and locate the originals, court documents show.

The original videotapes are now held by Ono, whose lawyers claim in a countersuit that she purchased them legally from World Wide through a Florida man, who has been named as a defendant in the Massachusetts company's suit.

"The decision that should be made in the case is who in fact does have the copyright," Joseph Doyle, World Wide's lawyer, said in a telephone interview. "We're saying that we legitimately own the copyright to this film."

Jonathan Albano, Ono's lawyer in Boston, declined to comment on the case.

Good interview, Thank You M-sama!

Telegraph UK
..In the meantime, she won a bitter custody battle over Kyoko, only to have her ex-husband steal her daughter away while on an access visit, changing her name and choosing to raise her in a fringe Christian group called the Church of the Living Word. Losing her child was, Ono says now, like losing a limb. She spent years searching for her daughter, giving up only after one of the private detectives she had hired was involved in a high-speed car chase with Kyoko and her father, and Ono realised that the search itself was putting her child in danger. I asked how she stayed sane, and she says it was a struggle, but she had Lennon. And her work...

Interesting and in the the light of all the other input here on Japanese-sanctioned child abduction, quite believable. A lot of stuff I've read in the past made it seem like she simply walked out on the kid, and many of the unfucked gaijin of the world likely still think this is just melodramatic bullcrap.

The Quietus: Yoko Oh Yes! Ms Ono Speaks About Peace, Pop And Computer Games

...Yoko Ono has never given a fuck about age or expectation or the done thing, and she still doesn't. She's happy to take a risk, for love and for curiosity...Yoko's productivity, at a time of life when most folks would be thinking of putting their feet up in front of the plasma screen, is genuinely astonishing...Her vision, her commitment to quality, never wavers; Ono is a woman who seems able to juggle any number of balls without ever dropping them...I wonder how she'd spoil herself if she woke up in New York one morning with nothing to do for the entire day. "It's very important that people know about this," she responds. "Japanese culture is a culture of meditation, and meditation is not something you have to do cross-legged in a big circle. You can eat meditating, you can walk meditating. Meditation is the culture of peace. And so when you're creating a life of meditation, then you're actually directly connecting yourself with world peace. Keep on living a life of meditation, and let's all achieve world peace through that. And we'll send a peace vibration to the universe"...more...

Anybody who sings like Yoko Ono deserves to be given FG status. In this case, I have no hesitation in siding with the Japanese by wanting to ostracize her.

Offhand, I still can't think of a Japanese national, with two Japanese parents and with both Japanese names in full, who gets the katakana treatment like Yoko Ono.

What about Ken Tanaka?

[dimwit]

I always thought that they reserve the katakana for Japanese who have given up their nationality. For example, I seem to recall that one of the Nobel Prize winning scientists from a few years ago was Japanese but became an Amercian citizen so they spelt his name in katakana.

Peel a banana, give it to someone you admire and tell them it's an edible smile. Do it again tomorrow, then see what happens.

Don't follow your heart, let it follow you, it doesn't have feet. You do.

Nobody would have cared about her if she had married anybody else. Now we have his son doing an imitation of him pitching Hondas on TV and he can't even get past a few words. She's just so annoying.
