Yoko Ono - Page 2

I really wanted to know if it was true that many Japanese disliked Yoko Ono. Has she done something to offend the Japanese?

Yoko Ono seemed to have a big influence on John Lennon

I wonder about the skater who skates for Russia

Indeed..I wonder what his wife at the time felt about Yoko?

Most people made her the culprit of John Lennon's substance abuse.

I may be mistaken, but I believe NanteNa may be referring to John Lennon's heroin addiction. I personally think "most people" is a bit too strong, but there are certainly a number of people who believe she got him into it.

You're right about that-- the Beatles were doing drugs practically before they were "the Beatles" (when you consider uppers/amphetamines and stuff like that).

About his time in New York-- I always found "the lost weekend" to be very interesting. I think that was in California though. There were definitely drugs involved in that situation. Have you heard of "A Toot and Snort in '74"?

It may be a bit ''too strong''.. But either way, I've only heard her mentioned when people talk about how badly she messed him up.

Oh.. Well, I watched a few documentaries (and that movie.. based on the Beatles.) where they all made it seem as if it was Yoko's fault. I'm not one to judge, cause I'm not really that interested. But yeah..
