Yoko Ono celebrated what would have been John Lennon's 75th birthday by celebrating peace — and trying to break a Guinness World Record in the bargain.
As the news of Cynthia Lennon's passing traveled yesterday, the surviving former members of the Beatles and their kin offered homage to John Lennon's first wife.
In some recently unearthed interviews that took place between 1969 and 1972, John Lennon admits his focus shifted from The Beatles to Yoko Ono because she was more intellectually stimulating.
When John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s ‘Two Virgins’ was released in November 1968, it threw more than a few Beatles fans for a loop. From the cover image of a stark-naked Lennon and Ono to the other-worldly and improvised sounds contained within, ‘Two Virgins’ was both a singular statement for the time and a line in the sand -- not only between Lennon and his fans, but among his band members as well.

Perhaps you've heard that obscure little rumor that Yoko Ono broke up The Beatles? Well, last year Paul McCartney said he no longer blamed Yoko for the split, and said their then-manager Allen Klein had a lot to do with it...and that it was inevitable that John Lennon would go out on his own, with or without her.
I think we all know where Yoko Ono stands on the issue of gun control. But she drove the point home on Wednesday by Tweeting a picture of John Lennon bloody glasses. Wednesday would have been their 44th wedding anniversary.
Yoko Ono let's her crazy hang out in a new interview with Spinner.com. She proudly reveals that she believes she's "an important musician" and gives her thoughts on the music of John Lennon. Read what else she said and see a video of this highly important artist on the next page!
