Frankly tedious
[12/1/2002 5:50:14 AM | richard joly]
frankly tedious "The Lives of the Muses" contains much interesting material (though the chapters on Elizabeth Siddal and Yoko Ono are frankly
tedious and the Dalis are downright disgusting). But some weaknesses are common to all nine of Ms. Prose's sketches.

http://www.myinky.com/ecp/arts_beat/article/0,1626,ECP_792_1577590,00.html 'Lennon Nite' will muster peace voices peace By Roger McBain -
Arts Beat December 1, 2002 "Give Peace a Chance," the anti-war song John Lennon and Yoko Ono recorded with Timothy Leary, Tommy Smothers
and a Hare Krishna chorus, seems a likely pick for "Electric" Larry Miller's "John Lennon Nite" memorial Dec. 8, the 22nd anniversary of the date a
deranged man with a handgun shot and killed the former Beatle outside Lennon's New York City apartment building. "Imagine" and "All You Need is
Love" are other likely choices for this year's memorial, which is also being billed as a "Peace Coalition Rally" with "a mustering of scattered voices
opposed to further violence and war." Miller, a local businessman, musician and decorated military veteran who was wounded in Vietnam,
organized his first Lennon tribute in the early 1980s. Two years ago, he organized a Dec. 8 memorial, with music, poetry and comments to mark
the 20th anniversary of Lennon's death. About 100 people attended. Last year, the memorial included ex-Beatle George Harrison, who died Nov.
29, 2001, in England. This year, Miller invites singers, musicians, poets and anyone else to get up on stage, sing along in the audience or simply
attend to help celebrate the music and the lives of both men and the Beatles, and to show their support for peace at 4 p.m. Dec. 8 at Smitty's
Little Tavern, 2109 W. Franklin St. Anyone interested in participating in the program should call Miller at 423-5167 or send him an e-mail at

Yoko's night with Graham and Kris in Moscow

Yoko's night with Graham and Kris in Moscow
To: rjoly@cam.org
Think US govt intelligence reports on Yoko went
out with Nixon? Wrong! Article on Graham Greene
in today's Guardian reveals otherwise.
Full story at
http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,6109,851970,00.html
Graham Greene's classic tale The Quiet American, released this week in
cinemas
starring Michael Caine in a potentially Oscar-winning role, is still stirring
up controversy over its apparent anti-Americanism.
[snip]
Greene's fiction has often riled Americans, but it appears that in real
life too, his views caused the US government some concern.
Documents obtained by the Guardian under the US Freedom of Information Act
disclose how officials in Washington went to extraordinary lengths to compile
secret reports on the distinguished novelist over 40 years as he travelled
the world in support of anti-US causes.
He was monitored when he stayed up talking to Fidel Castro until five in
the morning, as well as when he and Yoko Ono heard actor Kris Kristofferson
"eschewing women and whisky to discuss God, war and peace".
[snip]
He was criticised for taking part in an international peace forum in Moscow
to discuss nuclear disarmament in 1987. In a secret dispatch, American
diplomats
dismissed the gathering as a stunt which "produced little of lasting interest
or value". But they conceded that the "turnout of well-known cultural figures
was particularly impressive".
The diplomats reported that in the evening, there was a concert of "many
delights" such as folksongs and poetry, and American actor "Kris
Kristofferson
eschewing whisky and women for sober thoughts on God, war and peace", "all
taken in by an audience including the likes of Yoko Ono in white mink,
Gregory
Peck, author Graham Greene and other luminaries".

Jon Hein, _Jump the Shark_
Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2002 12:51:26 PST
Jon Hein has published a book called _Jump the Shark_. The phrase comes from
Hein talking about the decline of once-favorite TV shows, when Hein famously
said that Happy Days went downhill the moment "Fonzie jumped the shark."
The book has sparked some interesting feedback, positive and negative:
http://www.post-gazette.com/books/reviews/20020905hein5.asp
http://www.theonionavclub.com/reviews/words/words_j/jumpthesharkwhengoodthin01.html
But what caught my attention, and what would be of interest to you, fellow
Onovox subscribers, is the fact that Hein had the nerve to opine on when the
Beatles jumped the shark -- and his take was that it was when Yoko Ono was
introduced into the mix.
Not that Linda Eastman was around. Not that the other Beatles were having
difficulty working together as evidenced in the movie "Let It Be" (and not
just because Yoko was on the set!). Not that Paul was seriously considering
going out on his own. No, it was Yoko who broke up the Beatles, or at least
made them go downhill.
Yet another example of how the myth is perpetuated. Time to go onto his
website (www.jumptheshark.com) and protest, but it's such a jumbled site I
can't figure out how to do that! (I personally think the website has
jumped the shark :-)

Imagine: the art of John Lennon / Australia
[12/1/2002 6:07:17 AM | richard joly]
Imagine: the art of John Lennon will comprise more than 100 of Lennon's whimsical sketches and handwritten song manuscripts, including a new
print that makes its world premiere. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/12/01/1038712827712.html The sketches have been selected by
Ono, who has an installation of her own work on show at the History of Happiness exhibition at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, from
her collection of Lennon's original drawings. They include lithography, silkscreens, copper etching and serigraphy.

UNFOLDING RAGE: YOKO ONO AND EMINEM
[12/6/2002 6:38:06 PM | richard joly]
UNFOLDING RAGE: YOKO ONO AND EMINEM by Kazim Ali http://www.lapetitezine.org/KazimAli.htm by Kazim Ali Eminem adopts an unpleasant
strategy: using Marshall Mathers as a character in the album by Slim Shady--he can hide behind several different faces. Who is the artist? Who is
the created persona? And who is it who goes home at the end of the day and has a tunafish sandwich? Particularly in the song "Kim" in which Kim
Mathers--also supposedly a "character," and not the real-life wife of Mr. Shady--also, coincidentally, named Kim--is killed and placed in the trunk
of Marshall's car. She's depicted verbally by--presumably--an actress. Unpleasant, because a listening public is meant to decide, apparently, to
take the work as fiction, an expression of the true emotions--put perhaps not literal actions--of the artist, or, lastly, a real life threat of violence
to come. The artist becomes a more complicated figure as he recedes from easy figuring. He becomes a threat as he unwinds. It may be equally
impossible to divorce Yoko Ono from her context........... Kazim Ali is a poet and performance artist whose recent poems and essays
have appeared in Cross-cultural Poetics, Washington Square, and Hayden's Ferry Review. He teaches at the Culinary Institute of America.
about instructions for leaving
[12/6/2002 6:49:58 PM | richard joly]
about instructions for leaving xchristina ray http://www.glowlab.com/about.html http://www.glowlab.com/ray/leaving.html Once when I was
leaving Japan I looked out the window of the airplane at the signs on the runway. I imagined Yoko Ono sitting next to me, giving me an
Instruction Painting called 'Painting for Leaving,' that went something like this: Read all the runway signs before takeoff. Transform the letters and
numbers in your head during the flight. See if they match the different runway signs upon landing. Ever since then I can't help but do this when I
travel. I also take a lot of pictures from planes, when I have a window seat. There are paintings in this series as well, but they are in progress so
I haven't posted them to the site yet. [read about Yoko Ono's Instruction Paintings] was founded in January, 2002 by Brooklyn artist Christina

.....This is precisely why the battle over who wrote what heated up in
1996, when the CD booklet for the Anthology 3 album was being written.
McCartney's lawyer and brother-in-law, John Eastman, demanded that
eighteen songs -- including "Blackbird," "Get Back" and "Hey Jude" -- be
credited solely to McCartney, with Lennon's name omitted entirely.........
et etc etc
I have some questions to mind.
how would he know which *18* songs to choose ? Did he pick them out of a
hat ??????
the only way to tell is if Paul told him the titles of the songs he feels
are his alone.
and please define 'zeal' in lawyerese / accounting terms ? As his legal
rep, would John Eastman EARN more, if those songs were credited to Paul
Solo ? Would'nt trying to change song credits without authorisation show
him as a bad unprofessional lawyer ? I mean, I can understand that lawyers
have duties /rules / instructions to follow up on without having to double
check with their client all the time but this seems major.
Also McCartney is on record as saying that Linda, as she was suffering from
her cancer, asked Yoko directly herself about changing the credits of
YESTERDAY [ I'm not sure if she asked about the other songs].
so basically Paul has asked, dying Linda has asked, his lawyer has asked. I
wonder who will be asked to influence Y next ?
Finally - I'd like to see the list of the other 15 songs

Dear Santa,
I've been a good boy all year. Well, I got some friends to try out BLUE
PEPSI... I hope you won't hold that against me... but other than that, I

here is my want list and some suggestions for my friends :
* the official GuitarMania coffee table book is a full-color, 112-page
soft bound book available since early November. It does include the photo
(page 69) of Yoko's guitar that she painted for the project. It was
photographed on location at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum where
it spent the summer. The retail price is $24.95 per book. A great holiday
gift idea! To place an order, please download a printable order form or
call 216-436-2125.

Centre Georges Pompidou ; ISBN: 284426137X ; (2002/10)
price : 22 euros.
s/h : 20 euros. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think 20 euros is a lot to pay for s/h for what I'm told is a 170p book -
I'm sure as a carrier Rudolf would charge me less... can you ask him ? ;-)
addenda :
[from pompidou sales helpdesk]
Cher Monsieur,
En effet il existe un coffret avec livre et cassette vidéo.
Il est au prix de 45Euros + 16.75Euros de frais de port.
En ce qui concerne les 20Euros de frais de port renseignés par ma collègue, il
s'agit d'une estimation... Les frais d'envoi vers le Canada pour des
ouvrages d'un poids de 0 à 1000g sont en fait de 16.75Euros, de 1000g à 2000g il
s'agit de 24.35Euros...etc...
* there's also a really nice little catalog for A STORY OF HAPPINESS [ you
know , that show in Australia] ... in which BOX OF SMILE is described in
these words :
" there is also a quite nice idea attached to A BOX OF SMILE in as much as
you might want to imagine it as a form of treasure box, a private horde of
smiles kept safe for a rainy day "
Ah - I never thought of it that way before. I love when that happens.
I already have been given that book, but more smiles and more happiness are
.. always welcome!

Is a song conceived in my head without melody. The Ist verse came to me
very quickly in the form of a childlike street-chant da da da da dadee dee
da dee da ee a eeeh. The piano intro I've had hanging around in my head for
a few years-the chords and melody followed naturally from this. The middle
eight was "conceived" to finish off the song. I think it works as a song.
Of course, there is always room for improvement-..otherwise I wouldn't make
any more. The 3rd verse came to me in an 8-seater plane. It's a song for
children.
