I was just looking for Yokos website, the nearest I can find to her own official one is Imaginepeace.com, it appears to be the place in cyberland that she calls home or at least has all the connections to her events, online accounts, twitter, facebook etc etc. It would appear that this site is certainly more appealing, more interactive and more sophisticated, so its apparrent that when Yoko does want an online presence to be appropriate she certainly can have it arranged.

Its a puzzle to me actually, I kind of understand the earlier post of vonbontee as well, Id rather ...

For Yoko Ono to say that marrying John hindered her career is like Christopher Columbus saying that landing in American cut short his sailing trip.

So true.

(sighs) I gotta say, reading this, I really do wish Yoko would quit making it so hard for me to defend her. She's her own worst enemy, as far as that goes.

Thankyou pepperland. Im honoured to grace your wonderful forum and mingle amongst your members and discussions!

I hope this topic is recieved well, its been something that I keep reflecting upon everytime I take a little look at th website again, its not often, but Im always reminded of the same situation, perhaps in some way its a place that gives a constant rise to the Yoko factor, I may end up sounding as if Im just critising an overly criticised figure anyway, but Im trying to make some sense of the situation and like a detective looking for clues, one ...

I agree with all of the above.

People don't always know what's best for them, and I don't think that Yoko was good for John, regardless of how he felt.

From the very start, she kept him apart from all the things and people that preceded her, and this is just another example.

I suspect the truth is that Yoko doesnt want to ellaborate on Johns pre yoko period for many reasons, perhaps she even believes John wouldnt want to much reflection on it too, afterall there are literally thousands of people out there with blogs, websites, books, conventions, films, plays, Tribute bands and articles on The Beatles, so it some ways it could be seen as quite understandable for a supposedly forward thinking person like Yoko or indeed John himself if he were still around, why try and do what others are doing quite successfully anyway? My problem with it is something doesnt ...

When I just went on there, the picture on the homepage was one of John by himself (though in the 70s).

I too noticed that there is a lack of anything to do with ''60s'' John on there, except a brief mention of The Beatles in the bio section.

I usually defend Yoko (the break-up of The Beatles was not entirely down to her) but if she had/has a lot to do with the website, which I assume she does, it's like she's trying to erase any part of John that existed before her. Maybe she's forgetting that he achieved a lot ...

perhaps you didn't realize that when Yoko talked about keeping John alive in the world she was speaking solely in terms of making sure the golden goose kept laying eggs.

Hi all, over the last few years I occassionally visit the Johnlennon.com website, it is the OFFICIAL website for John overseen I believe by Yoko herself. It appears that it rarely changes, completely lacks creative input and barely touches on what John Lennon should and could be portayed as on a modern website, we all know George Harrison is no longer with us either, but his website is a joy to behold and very creative in what I believe it succeeds very well in doing. Im sure George would be happy to see it up there on the web. Johns ...
