Yoko Ono does impression of Linda Blair in the Exorcist

[gyroscope]

...albeit unintentionally.

[Raine1967]

1. Total parody.

and I actually appreciate it. I like YoKo Ono. I also like Katy Perry.

[gyroscope]

2. I thought a parody was supposed to be funny and clever

this is just disturbing and moronic.

Oh No belongs in a mental institution.

[Raine1967]

3. She doesn't.

That woman has done more to promote peace than many people on this planet.

She is and has always been a performance artist. You don't have to like her, but please don't say she belongs in an institution.

[gyroscope]

4. I think you are confusing her with her late husband

if it weren't for Oh No's connection to Lennon, she would in all likelihood
be doing her 'performance art' inside the walls of a state-run facility right now.

which is where people like her usually end up.

[Raine1967]

5. No, I am not.

You're insistance that she needs to be in a home is getting insulting.

Seriously, insulting.

[gyroscope]

6. It's an insult to Katy Perry

(and popular music in general) to compare her to this mindless idiot.

[CBGLuthier]

7. Just because you are incapable or unwilling to appreciate a particular form of art

does not mean that such work is not art. So go listen to your fucking Katy Perry or Spice Girls or whatever the fuck floats your boat and lighten the fuck up.

[gyroscope]

8. I don't listen to Katy Perry

not my type of music.

but I find it hilarious that lovers of OhNo's bizarre brand of music (if you can call it that) are looking down on Katy Perry and the Spice Girls.

[Raine1967]

9. Now you are juts acting trollish. See my first response in this thread.

What you have done is created a straw man!

Nice performance art. Yoko Ono would applaud you.

[gyroscope]

10. OhNo is the one trolling Perry

angry OhNo fan who is swearing like a madman is telling me to lighten up? that's a good one.

And yes, I think Linda Blair would be quite proud and flattered by OhNo's magnificent performance art/impersonation of her classic horror film character.

[gyroscope]

12. Do you have anything to add to the discussion?

or are you just being a troll?

[MrMickeysMom]

14. Agreed...

Yoko Ono lives on… a tribute to John and a strength to how we should all just give peace a chance.

I initially used to have fun with her part of the albums, but I've come to love her performance art form.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

15. She has the right to be weird.

And you have the right to not listen to her.

Art is anything you want it to be. If she says it's art, then it's art.

I admire her work for peace.

Note: She did NOT break up the Beatles. They were already sick of each other by the time she came along.

[gyroscope]

17. "If she says it's art then its art."

If I took a big dump while making loud farting noises to the tune of a Katy Perry song, could that be considered art?

I guess it would according to you and the 'in art anything goes' crowd.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

18. People make things and do things and call it art.

Yes, a lot of it is ridiculous but it gets called art, and sold, and curated and such.

It's a societal agreement that it's art if you call it that.

There is no central authority that decides what is art and what isn't. Nobody decides who is a Christian and who isn't. It's a self-identifying label.

[Frank Cannon]

19. "A lot of it is ridiculous."

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is Yoko Ono's "art" described perfectly. Thank you.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. Have you (or anyone in this thread) read a serious art magazine lately?

I read Art in America. There's all sorts or weird stuff out there, but that's part of the expression in a free society.

Some people judge art by whether or not it's commercially successful.

Artists have been making non-representational art for over a hundred years. It started with Surrealism and may have been around before that. Hell, I have copies of Art in America from 1965 and artists were certainly making weird stuff back them.

I don't know why people are so upset by her because as I already said, you have the right not to listen or watch.
She's worked to get recognition for women artists and non-white artists (See "Woman is the N****r of the World).

I admire her efforts for peace.

[Xyzse]

23. Have you any idea how hard that is?

I'd be disgusted, but heck, I don't consider Jackson Pollock's work as art, but it is.

I wouldn't pay to see it, but some might.

[BlueJazz]

16. I've never been able to figure her out. That may be entirely my fault.

She's never caused me any harm so keeping with my philosophy of life, I have nothing bad to say against her.

[tavernier]

20. She needs a different hobby.

Perhaps something to do with clay, or jigsaw puzzles. Anything that doesn't involve a microphone.

[panader0]

21. I wonder if she made those noises when she and John were, ahem, together.

[Kaleva]

24. She gets appluaded while I've been tossed out of bars for doing the same thing.

[hifiguy]

25. When I worked in a record store and wanted to clear the place of

looky-lous five minutes before closing I would put on "Approximately Infinite Universe." The store never failed to empty as if it had suddenly caught fire.

I did kinda like "Season Of Glass" but that's the only thing of hers I could ever make it through without wanting to smash the turntable.

[KamaAina]

26. DUzy!
