| Yoko Ono (Music) | comment |
Yoko Ono (Japanese: å°�野 æ´‹å�, born February 18, 1933), is a Japanese-American artist and musician who is most widely known for her relationship with John Lennon of The Beatles. When Yoko first met John Lennon, she was an artist exhibiting in the UK. Working with artist group Fluxus throughout the 1960s, Ono was a pioneer in the burgeoning conceptual art movement which included work in sculpture, performance, filmmaking and music.Ono collaborated with experimental luminaries such as John Cage and jazz legend Ornette Coleman. In 1961, years before meeting Lennon, she had her first major public performance in a concert at the 258-seat Carnegie Recital Hall (not the larger "Main Hall"). This concert featured radical experimental music and performances. She had a second engagement at the Carnegie Recital Hall in 1965, in which she debuted "Cut Piece," a seminal performance within the conceptual art movement.After John Lennon left the Beatles, the two artists collaborated on music together - working together on very different projects all underneath the umbrella of "Plastic Ono Band." Yoko collaborated together with John on his first three albums: Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins (1968), Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions (1968) and Wedding Album (1969). In 1970, Yoko Ono began to release a number of solo records, which began incorporating rock and blues songs into them, as she was recording many of them in the same studios and with the same musicians that John was using. Although Yoko's work was poorly received, the albums have survived. | |

The Immodest Orgasm | |
| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_6f44042b | comment |
The Immodest Orgasm: Her warbling is meant to resemble orgasming in some songs, specifically the end of "Kiss Kiss Kiss" and midway through "AOS". In an interview discussing "Kiss Kiss Kiss," she describes the orgasm as "crying out to be held, to be touched," and ridicules how women's pleasure isn't seen as natural. | |

Minimalist Cast | |
| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_8e3b5b4d | comment |
Minimalist Cast: Her films usually feature a bare minimum of people. "Fly" features the titular creature crawling across a nude Virginia Lust. "Eye Blink" is one minute of exactly that. "Cut Piece" features Yoko seated on stage while the audience is invited to use scissors to remove a small piece of her dress. | |

Pop-Star Composer | |
| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_91b55fe | comment |
Pop-Star Composer: Her album Fly contains "Airmale", the score to John Lennon's film Erection note which shows a building being erected in time lapsed photography and "Fly", the soundtrack to her film of the same name. It also includes audio versions of her art pieces "Toilet Piece" (which was a microphone amplifying a flushing toilet in Carnegie Hall) and "Telephone Piece" (in which she would call a telephone inside a museum, say "Hello, this is Yoko," and then hang up.) | |

All That Glitters | |
| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_9555d7c5 | comment |
All That Glitters: In 2006, she gained considerable notoriety for "Promise Piece-Bones", taking a priceless 500 year old Ming vase and shattering it into pieces and handing each shard away, as a tribute to losing a friend (fellow Fluxus artist Nam June Paik) whom she considered more valuable than an old jar could ever be. | |

Wild Hair | |
| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_95a70bb1 | comment |
Wild Hair: In her heyday, Yoko was known for sporting large, seemingly unkempt hair, which provided a unique silhouette and facial frame that she is mostly remembered for. She began sporting a ponytail in the 80s before cutting it shorter. | |

Blue Blood | |
| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_abe4d7b | comment |
Blue Blood: She was a descendant of the Yasuda clan of samurai warrior-scholars (who later founded the Yasuda zaibatsu conglomerate, centered on banking) on her mother's side, while her paternal grandfather was ennobled (into the Japanese kazoku nobility) in 1915. | |

P.O.V. Cam: Her short film "Rape" is told from the perspective of the rapist (though the assailant knocks the woman over in an alleyway, instead of doing something much more harmful.) | |

Take That! | |
| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Her song, "Yes, I'm a Witch" probably, as it contains the lyrics "Yes, I'm a witch, I'm a bitch / I don't care what you say / My voice is real, my voice speaks truth / I don't fit in your ways..." and she seems to be speaking to her haters. She also mentioned that she's "gonna stick around for quite a while". She has been, to this day. | |

| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_b58c51d8 | comment |
My Beloved Smother: According to some biographers, her relationship with John Lennon had elements of this; he even referred to her as "Mother", and John appreciated dating an older woman for the maternal aspects. | |

| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_d46ddfa2 | comment |
Cloud Cuckoolander: Some of the art and performance pieces she has done have shown her to be a little ... zany. In fact, many of them (especially the notorious "No. 4"note also known as "Bottoms" and consisting of 80 minutes of a close-up on people's bare asses as they walk on a treadmill) are meant to be funny, but people unfamiliar with surrealist art often didn't realize this. An example of her humorous attitude is seen in a short Fluxus film. The word Art is displayed in beautiful script on a sidewalk a-frame board. Yoko walks in with a large shopping bag — the kind elegant department stores used to give you — and stands next to the sign as if waiting for a bus. The bag has the single letter F on it. Tell us you aren't at least smiling right now. | |

| Yoko Ono (Music) / int_ea454c4a | comment |
Surprisingly Gentle Song: Throughout the years, she's made several of them, including "No Bed for Beatle John" and "Mrs. Lennon". Her 1974 album A Story consists of this mostly. "Listen, the Snow is Falling", released as the B-side to "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and later covered by Galaxie 500. | |
