Yoko naming "Help" as her favorite early Beatles song and describing the first time she heard "Strawberry Fields" at a party is great, and sweet, and her enthusiasm is so genuine, that's great.

Muni's voice ALWAYS makes me laugh....<br /><br />a funny story about Scott Muni, it's a darkly funny story but I'm telling you, John himself would crack up at it:<br /><br />Scott Muni had this thing for years at noon, where he'd play a four song set of Beatles/Beatle solo. I have to say, it was horrible! The station was wall-to-wall rock and he'd play a set like Til There Was You, then Ding Dong Ding Dong and then, to drive home the absence of a "theme", we'd get, say, "Woman" and then "Bony Moronie" from the Rock 'n' Roll album. <br /><br />So now it's that saddest of days, December 8th, and all morning on the station they are promoting Scott's "special tribute" to John Lennon. Well, after all, Scott knew the man...what could he impart? Sounded promising!<br /><br />Noon rolls around, and they introduce the Scott segment...Scott starts talking and is talking for about a minute when.....he starts skipping! A CD skip! We all know how horrible a CD skip is! And it's just skipping through Scott's entire eulogy. No one at the station is listening, and Scott keeps skipping, and now we're skipping through "Imagine"...and now "Instant Karma"....no one at the station caught on.....I was at work, rolling on the floor.<br /><br />Anyways....Yoko, she sure can talk, man! Love her, but wow, a little "full of herself", god bless her!JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038427052126830230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267822777045485874.post-73504319332019270272012-04-30T11:17:04.233-04:002012-04-30T11:17:04.233-04:00Collecting demo versions of "Cookin' (In ...Collecting demo versions of "Cookin' (In The Kitchen of Love)" would seem to be a VERY narrow field of collecting...no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267822777045485874.post-33929338023825029672012-04-26T19:21:04.950-04:002012-04-26T19:21:04.950-04:00I collect demo versions of Cookin' In the Kitc...I collect demo versions of Cookin' In the Kitchen Of Love, of course I think it would be nice to have John's rehearsal run throughs of Good Night!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267822777045485874.post-59265256228656990752012-04-26T15:50:50.800-04:002012-04-26T15:50:50.800-04:00Wouldn't it be nice to have John's rehears...Wouldn't it be nice to have John's rehearsal run throughs for Ringo? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267822777045485874.post-72280745210136410222012-04-25T18:44:43.114-04:002012-04-25T18:44:43.114-04:00Awww, I wouldn't have "Good Night" a...Awww, I wouldn't have "Good Night" any other way!!!

YES YOKO ONO (Japan Society, Inc. 2000) lists her works but fails to include this. Yoko's various Clock Piece(s) are discussed. There's a chapter devoted to her films including those with John Lennon. Ono's concept and use of time is highlighted here in discussions of films like Match, Eyeblink, Film No. 5 and Erection, yet there's no mention of Clock. <br /><br />Does anyone here have something from the Everson that indicates it was actually shown there (not a later source like the LLTs)? Have any blog readers seen it in later presentations of Yoko Ono films?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267822777045485874.post-4951520552642934232012-04-19T15:07:38.803-04:002012-04-19T15:07:38.803-04:00Oh man, another Howard Smith interview!!!
