If you compare Yoko and Damo Suzuki,
I IMMEDIATELY have stop writing here to get not banned for at least 1 year,
bye!
Actually it is not that surprising since he was "busking" in those days, but then so was one of the theater scenes in Germany (Peter Handke), who went on to write film. His plays were even worse ... when Burroughs was (supposedly) 7,452 words pick up, Peter's were worse ... no sentences or anything ... just words out of order in any order and it was (and IS) an actor's nightmare! But we managed to do one play of his at UCSB, a one act play! .... (I did all the technical aspects for the 3 plays done that night!). Even Klaus Kinsky came from that group of folks!!!!!
All in all it was an interesting thing that had started much earlier with the idea that any combination of "noise" was "sound" and therefore, music in some form. AND, there were a lot of theatrical events that specially worked on sound/sounds and created theater without words, the famous "Living Theater" being the one that stood out the most.
What Damo did, and Yoko did, was a part of all that ... but Damo, is trying to make it sound like it was something else more artistic, and Yoko, at the very least, has not told you and I that she was trying to be this or that, or be musical or what not. It was what it was, which was what her "art" was all about ... the famous white wall with a single black dot in it ...
In many ways, it was nothing but "defiance" in the name of artistic freedom ... and you are imposing the same restrictions on her! You have to help us all ... defend the arts ... in its many form ... otherwise, you and I and all others have no chance whatsoever.
A little love and respect would help also, I think for John's appreciation and love!
