... at least Mosh and I get it.

There's a side of it, that makes sense. And I keep thinking that she did this as an intentional satire on folks that sing ... about something ... !!!! And sound so empty and vacuous as to be boring.
Her "freedom" and "do your thing" on the open microphone makes sense in exploratory and free form stuff ... but she has, since her time, been superseded by people that have taken that ability and taken it to a new level of appreciation, that she did not have the ability to handle.
For all intents and purposes, her "artistic" days and "ability", died a long time ago, when John passed away. The hard part is that she is trying to live an image of the artist for artist's sakes, and I find this sad, stupid, and often, totally out of control, and not even an attempt at creating an artistic moment that makes sense.
It is very much like ... the dot in the middle of the white wall! ... problem was that it made sense for a time, and after that ... it is simply selfish, and not worth the discussion, even of minimalism! She has been a part of that group of folks that want to tell you that nothing in life, including the arts, has to have meaning. Of course, this would be totally weird and bizarre, in her case and history! If these are the sounds of her grief and such ... at least the music should be different, I would imagine!
Sorry Yoko ... your time is long gone, and you have lost the focus of the whole thing in lieu of something else that has no meaning, or direction, except where your ego wants to take you!
