So can anyone here actually *defend* Yoko Ono? I've heard rumors of people who take her seriously as an artist, but who these people are, and why they think this way, is a complete mystery to me. Do any of you actually like Yoko Ono? Or, if that's too much to ask, do any of you know somebody who does, and are willing to relay the reasons they've articulated for enjoying this old bat?
tl;dr But is it art?

Riskbreaker - 2013-12-13 She's some hippie John Lennon boned, that's about it. She's as much of an artist as any drunk hobo screaming in the streets.

EvilHomer - 2013-12-13 Oh, OK, yeah, that reminds me, there was Archie Luxury's defense of Yoko Ono:

But he's not really talking about her *art*, he just hates John and is glad she trolled the piss out of him and his fans.

Oscar Wildcat - 2013-12-14 Easy defense:
Back in the day, people spent a lot of time learning to play instruments, jamming with other musicians, etc etc. A great deal of attention was paid to the craft, and live performances were an opportunity for the musicians to stretch out and do things they couldn't do in the studio.
So when this talentless hack received John's bone and rocketed to stardom based on her shrieking nonsense, it was a radical departure for the era. Now I know, today it seems old hat, as most pop stars are now shrieking nonsense in the crudest form imaginable. Why get excited about this? But at the time, she was a forerunner.
Do any of you doubt that we could put the autotune on her, and make a top 40 hit out of this? Then it would be clear what her artistic expression is all about.

Oscar Wildcat - 2013-12-14 My personal fave was "Double Fantasy". There you had the last album of what is arguable one of the great rock/pop musicians of that era, where half the tracks were John's sweet songs and the other half were Yoko's artless screechings. And it was impossible to play the album without having to endure that awful banshee. It makes me smile just thinking about it. And it was definitely the future.
Now of course, it's all screaming nonsense with tits. But back then, boy, it was radical.

Ok I'll bite. Why is she let anywhere near MOMA? Does she write them a ginormous check?

I was actually expecting her to urinate into a mic'd up toilet while the song played.
Lame.

Modern art = "I could have done that" + "but you didn't"
