Without getting into a fruitless debate of any "guilt" of Yoko Ono's for anything (I'm just using her for a colorful label), let's think about the many people most of us probably know who had talents and dreams, and then seemed to give them up for a lover, and/or for a family.
Are they making a sacrifice, or are they just chickening out of something which was too hard?
I thought John did some of his best stuff after Yoko came along, maybe Im misunderstanding your post here
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that can be argued. I just used the cliche that some people think she neutered him, whether that's true or not.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been funnier if I could have found a video of the song, it's really very funny. (Barenaked Ladies.)
ReplyDeleteI supose many artists make their best work when they're unhappy and lonely. But does that mean that they don't have the right to settle down with someone and be happier, even if that means they're no longer angry and "hungry"?
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about Lennon, but I supose he just chose to be happy and that was probably a very wise decision. (if you think women bring long term happiness, which is a whole other can of worms)
