Sean man, he's the spittin' image of his father !!

I was curious if they gave the round-lens glasses to play up, or if he wears them all of the time.  

He's Sean Lennon, he can do whatever he wants. If he wants to wear round glasses, he can.

I met him once in Cleveland after a performance, he signed my Taylor 12 string with a magic marker. It has since worn off so you can't see it anymore though.

No, offense taken and none intended on my part.  

Of course, he can do whatever he wants.  Sean does look remarkably like John.  I was genuinely curious because they were on the Jimmy Fallon show and he has had musicians and actors do parodies before.  I wasn't sure if that was part of the parody.  

The part where Yoko kept chiming in "don't frack me don't frack me"

all I could think of is ... no problem ... no problem ... stop puttin' images in my mind - this is not a problem -


 I wouldn't even want to frack Yoko with Bapu's yo-yo and jonbouy pushing  --    sheeesh

Unpunniness at its best.

Blaah... "Only to be streamed inside the United States".
I can't watch it.

About spitting images: Did you see the tribute concert for George Harrison years ago? His son looks and moves exactly like Goerge and his face gestures and everything...almost spooky.

seriously bad..... in every way possible. 



We're fracking here in NC (to begin shortly) to get natural gas out of the ground..... and I approved this message.

I just hope to God that they were using “mother” as a metaphor for earth … well at least they didn’t autotune Sean … at a minimum they probably should autotune Yoko.  Is changing the words to a Dylan tune actually considered writing a song?

The auto-tune thing for Yoko ... is rather un-cool in my book!
 

 
Mostly because almost all of Yoko's work, from her art work prior to John Lennon, was all about dismantling the western conventions for art, and later, in this case, music.
 
But we're too screwed up and stuck up, to find anything interesting in what she does, and call her a **** ... and in many ways, she is much more important to the development of John Lennon and the Beatles, than we are capable of accepting it.
 
Us, forward thinking men, that consider ourselves more intelligent than the easterns, and the indians, and the afrikans and the matians, and that anything different, and not sounding harmonic to our ears is totally wrong and out of town and should not be in music!
 
Get over it!
 

I can’t speak for her art and I would never call her a “****” … but, with respect to her music and her overall contribution to music … it is my opinion that she had/has no talent.  Just because she atonally screams into a microphone doesn’t make her a creative genius and it also doesn’t mean she’s pushing the boundaries of music as we know it or that she breaking down the walls between eastern and western music and ideologies, It just means she is screaming into a microphone.

But, I'm not sure you are seeing the history of the arts, and its movements in the 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's ... that we are not (sometimes!) willing to accept and understand ... and her famous painting that attracted John, was a great, big white wall ... with just one little dot in it! And this was the same night that Soft Machine did their famous ABC in a jazz piece, and Pink Floyd did Interstellar Overdrive with Syd that you can see on the Youtube ... and Ginsburg read some poems ... and others ... and it was called "Tonite We All Love In London".
 
The whole thing, was "anti" everything! The ABC is perfect and a nice finger to the audience of rich farts ... and over stuffed musicos and the upper middle class cultured class of people!
 
Surrealism in the 30's tried to break it by saying ... let the dream speak, regardless of what it shows. The 40's got blowup by the war. The 50's brought home the emotional wash downs in theater and film. The 60's the emotional breakdown had turned to drugs, music and "escapism" ... and in so many ways, her "anti-western" music thing is no different than what the German scene was doing -- go check out Faust, and specially the Krautrock special ... very well done, btw, but it is massive when it comes to Faust ... Can ... and many others ... that we REFUSE to credit for not wanting to do something different, and still do not consider it music.
 
And, really, despite my saying it all the time ... this is needed a whole lot more today, in the age of this ______________ daw thing ... which is making people think that you can not be different.
 
This is not a criticism about you at all ... it's a plea to look at history ... and yes ... I might agree to a bit of that ... that she is probably a bit out of time ... but the tune thing means that ... you missed the rest -- or are assuming that the other one -- because it isn't right! -- has absolutely nothing to offer ... well, obviously not to you! But wouldn't it be an assumption that this might not be the same for others?
 
I've given this example before ... from the Peter Michael Hamel book ... there is a joke about the musician that was playing his music on an instrument with one string ... and he was excited and happy, and saying ... "I got it" .. "I got it" ... and two people next to him are listening and going ... "got what?" ... and your point is that you are thinking you are right and the other person is wrong, and this is NOT what "art history" has EVER been about, since it has always been about the change and the different things, and this Yoko thing right now is way better than auto-tune or the overabundance of DAW's out there, which are not helping people learn, appreciate and ... above all ... your favorite ... PLAY music! ... so you can criticize, but at least ... she's doing it, and her son is not complaining!

Moshkiae

She certainly managed to help dismantle the Beatles too!  Now, when a band member gets a girlfriend who distrupts the structure of the band, she's called a "Yoko."

Hi,
Wow.

That was all a bit unreal...
