Hey Yoko ... have a nice hot cup of STFU

It's the girl's given name ... and the wench from hell who wasn't content just to break up the Beatles now wants to end someone's career.

Lennon is amazing. That is all.

EDIT: Sorry Pern, complete brain fart.

She should legally change her last name to McCartney...

Lennon McCartney would sell some albums...

I've long ago come to grips with the fact that the last remaining Beatle standing will be Ringo.

What I'm realizing today, and it almost makes me physically ill, is the last person to be alive with a direct connection to the Beatles will be Yoko.

I'm going to lie down now.

Lennen is amazing. That is all.

Well, at least you didn't spell it Lenin. :P

This will work out well for the young lady. People who have never heard of her before are now going to check out what the hubbub is all about and download some of her music. It doesn't hurt that she's attractive.

I also find it funny that this thread was directly above the thread entitled, "The ugliest celebrity with whom you'd have sex" when I clicked on it.

The Fox News guy quotes from two Myspace pages but makes no attempt to get comment from anyone, not even the usual call to Ono's attorney. Fair and balanced, right.

An old friend worked as Ono's bodyguard for a little while, I think about a year. He's pretty far to the right -- ex-cop, ex-Marine -- and says she's an OK human being, neither saint nor monster, like the rest of us. I can't stand her music, but I'll believe my friend on what she's like.

Lennon sent out this link to her myspace friends yesterday (yes, I'm her myspace friend, STFU. I know I'm a looser).

sportschick has been in love with Lennon for years. She will be at the front of the line to claw Yoko Ono's eyes out.

I cannot deny those facts.

This reminds me of the time the Sony Corporation tried to sue the owner of a little shop named Sony (which was her given name). I can still hear Sen. Barbara Mikulski's voice booming with outrage on the Senate floor: "Shame on you Sony! Shame, shame, shame!"

Sony Corp. dropped its lawsuit...

I knew a man, his brain was so small,
He couldnt think of nothing at all.
He's not the same as you and me.
He doesnt dig poetry. He's so unhip that
When you say Dylan, he thinks youre talking about Dylan Thomas,
Whoever he was.
The man aint got no culture,

While car shopping, I once went to nissan.com and discovered that it's the website of a little computer company in North Carolina owned by a man whose last name is Nissan. His company has been called that for like 20 years, since back when the cars were called Datsuns.

He signed up for the web address first, and of course the car company has been trying to sue him for millions of dollars. So far the computer guy has managed to win.

I cannot stand Yoko Ono. Yet she also represents how, when John and Paul each had a similar decision to make, John was smarter.

"Linda, I love you! Come sing backup and help ruin my songs with Wings!"

Not even necessary to reference the alleged Knebworth tape from 1990. Just listen to her on Silly Love Songs.

Now John:

"Yoko, you are a talented person! SO talented, I think you should . .go into that other studio and make your own music! Sure, me and Clapton will play on a couple tunes, but YOUR name will be on thm, because you're SO talented!"

McCartney's ego was the main force behind the breakup of the Beatles, so I think Yoko gets a bad rap there. She contributed, but Paul's complte lack of respect for his bandmates hastened that decline.

That all said, she has been an absolute psycho when it comes to what she calls "John's Legacy." Yoko is very wrong in this case. At least, wrong to threaten to sue. But perhaps not completely wrong . . . .

It would be very interesting to find out the truth behind just what (or who) Lennon Murphy was named after. I've never heard of her until now, so I don't know what the story is behind that.

But here's a bio that reads like an official PR release:

http://www.melodic.net/artistsOne.asp?artistId=7942

"The New York-born Nashville-bred girl named after, yes, John Lennon, headed to Sanford, Florida in mid-2002 to work on what would become Damaged Goods."

Yoko is being an ass. But in thinking Lennon Murphy is using John Lennon's name, she's not completely wrong. In legalese, it can be said that since she is named after the great musician, she is indeed using his name to sell records. Yes, it's her name, but it came from where, again? And she could have recorded under the name "Lennon Murphy" to mark a clear difference.

 

[sportschick]

Yoko Ono allegedly did give Lennon permission to record under the name Lennon before her first album came out. Just saying.

If Lennon Murphy even sought such permission in the first place, she already went above and beyond what should be expected.

She is named after John lennon. She records without her last name - likely because some record company flack thought it would sell more records - but who cares? Yoko should be glad John's name is in the news for something other than her insanity.

You can be my Yoko Ono! (Ah-hooo, woah woah)...

Take it Canucks!

(Yeah, that CD is in my player right now...)

Does that mean it didn't happen?

Check Google News asshole. It's on about 20 web sites.

Using the same logic, Kenny Rogers could sue Kenny Chesney.
