    I love the implication that a chick wailing in a microphone would be so unusual that Chuck, after 20 years of jamming blues music with the most degenerate counter culture folks, would be shocked by it.

    It’s like memes go back in time. I first heard this as a Nickelback joke.

    yoko ono's a very misunderstood artist - i really like her art, as well as 'mind train' and 'hirake' from her fly album, and i also like her warbling, as heard in 'fly'. seriously!

    Man the number of people who shit on Yoko while adoring Laurie Anderson really do not understand performance art. It's not necessarily meant to be "normally" musical. That's not the intention.

    But whatever; people have their own tastes and that's 100% cool. I don't actually enjoy a lot of her stuff either, even if I can appreciate what she was trying to do.

    Moreover, if you are fan of John's consider this: when he met Yoko he was a full on misogynist big time with blatantly capitalist aspirations. She turned that all around, stuck with him through his "lost weekend" and two rounds of herion addiction. Yes, this is not about her as an artist, but if we consider her as a person she was/is important.

    Sometimes, even performance art can suck. It doesn’t all have to be “appreciated” or “misunderstood”. It can just be what it is- hot garbage.

    Not everyone is an artist just because they want to be.

    Hard disagree. Anyone is an artist if they want to be. Whether anyone likes the work is a separate issue.

    So, curious… what do you do for a living?

    I'm an installation artist. Most recently I've built large pens and fenced in some fields to fill with livestock. I then raise and sell said livestock. It's a take on how capitalism reduces all of us to the sum of our parts. No one really connects with the message of it though so I have to get by on what I can get for the meat.

    Cool! I do that too! The exact same thing! Never learned how, just decided that I’m an installation artist and I’m going to tell everyone that this is what I do and they’ll all defend me against anyone that tries to say otherwise because its art!

    No, that can't be! First you have to go to installation artist school and get approval from the other learned installation artists and then they will give you an installation artist license and with that you can finally call yourself an installation artist and call other people installation art posers.

    Here you go, ‘Walking on Thin Ice’, the last song recorded by John Lennon. With Tony Levin on the bass.

    I can imagine this as a Norm MacDonald line.

    Fun fact: Interlude in B-52's Rock Lobster was inspired by Yoko Ono.

    Which in turn inspired Lennon to resume recording with Yoko.

    Interesting that people on social media with a clichéd taste in music feel the need to punch down on creative artists who nevertheless end up influencing mainstream music decades later.

    The wrong person died that night in 1980. The world would be better off without Oko.
