Bee Gee and I have a theory that Cookie Monster’s character is closely based off Yoko. So I’m going to go with that.

The opening event at this year’s Manchester International Festival, a free event on 4 July at the Cathedral Gardens, is a Yoko Ono piece called Bells for Peace:

Yoko Ono invites the people of Manchester to gather together in Cathedral Gardens and send a message of peace to the world. Join thousands of diverse voices and a people’s orchestra of bells from home and abroad as the city rings and sings out for peace – and welcomes the world to Manchester.

Yoko Ono has been among the world’s most renowned and respected artists for more than 50 years. This new commission is the first major work she has created for the city of Manchester.

People across Greater Manchester are currently designing and creating their own unique handcrafted ceramic bells at a series of special workshops. Join them on the day to hear them – or bring a bell of your own and join in!

Thanks everyone for keeping the Yoko love going. Yoko is integral to my appreciation of John. I really see the two of them together as a unit. In fact, in my mind’s eye, I go to an “imaginal realm” where I feel the johnandyoko magic. It’s sort of like I imagine them together on a fluffy, white cloud in a blue sky.

The past ten years we noticed everything we wished came true in its own time, good or bad, one way or the other. We kept telling each other that one of these days we would have to get organized and wish for only good things. Then our baby arrived! We were overjoyed and at the same time felt very responsible. Now our wishes would also affect him. We felt it was time for us to stop discussing and do something about our wishing process: The Spring Cleaning of our minds! It was a lot of work. We kept finding things in those old closets in our minds that we hadn’t realized were still there, things we wished we hadn’t found. As we did our cleaning, we also started to notice many wrong things in our house: there was a shelf which should never have been there in the first place, a painting we grew to dislike, and there were the two dingy rooms, which became light and breezy when we broke the walls between them. We started to love the plants, which one of us originally through were robbing the air from us! We began to enjoy the drum beat of the city which used to annoy us. We made a lot of mistakes and still do. In the past we spent lots of energy in trying to get something we thought we wanted, wondered why we didn’t get it, only to find out that one or both of us didn’t really want it. One day, we received a sudden rain of chocolates from people around the world. “Hey, what’s this! We’re not eating sugar stuff, are we?” “Who’s wishing it?” We both laughed. We discovered that when two of us wished in unison, it happened faster. As the Good Book says — Where two are gathered together — It’s true. Two is plenty. A New Clear Seed.

More and more we are starting to wish and pray. The things we have tried to achieve in the past by flashing a V sign, we try now through wishing. We are not doing this because it is simpler. Wishing is more effective than waving flags. It works. It’s like magic. Magic is simple. Magic is real. The secret of it is to know that it is simple, and not kill it with an elaborate ritual which is a sign of insecurity. When somebody is angry with us, we draw a halo around his or her head in our minds. Does the person stop being angry then? Well, we don’t know! We know, though, that when we draw a halo around a person, suddenly the person starts to look like an angel to us. This helps us feel warm towards the person, reminds us that everyone has goodness inside, and that all people who come to us are angels in disguise, carrying messages and gifts to us from the Universe. Magic is logical. Try it sometime.

We still have a long way to go. It seems the more we get into cleaning, the faster the wishing and receiving process gets. The house is getting very comfortable now. Sean is beautiful. The plants are growing. The cats are purring. The town is shining, sun, rain or snow. We live in a beautiful universe. We are thankful every day for the plentifulness of our life. This is not a euphemism. We understand that we, the city, the country, the earth are facing very hard times, and there is panic in the air. Still the sun is shining and we are here together, and there is love between us, our city, the country, the earth. If two people like us can do what we are doing with our lives, any miracle is possible! It’s true we can do with a few big miracles right now. The thing is to recognize them when they come to you and to be thankful. First they come in a small way, in every day life, then they come in rivers, and in oceans. It’s goin’ to be alright! The future of the earth is up to all of us.

Many people are sending us vibes every day in letters, telegrams, taps on the gate, or just flowers and nice thoughts. We thank them all and appreciate them for respecting our quiet space, which we need. Thank you for all the love you send us. We feel it every day. We love you, too. We know you are concerned about us. That is nice. That’s why you want to know what we are doing. That’s why everybody is asking us What, When and Why. We understand. Well, this is what we’ve been doing. We hope that you have the same quiet space in your mind to make your own wishes come true.

If you think of us next time, remember, our silence is a silence of love and not of indifference. Remember, we are writing in the sky instead of on paper — that’s our song. Lift your eyes and look up in the sky. There’s our message. Life your eyes again and look around you, and you will see that you are walking in the sky, which extends to the ground. We are all part of the sky, more so than of the ground. Remember, we love you.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono
New York City

PS. We noticed that three angels were looking over our shoulders when we wrote this!

I was watching Gilmore Girls where Rory and Lane were looking through Lane’s new record purchases. Rory picks up a Yoko album, looks at Lane in confusion, says “Yoko Ono?” and this exchange happens:

 

LANE: A very misunderstood artist and the Beatles would’ve broken up anyways.
RORY: Have you shared this theory with anyone?
LANE: I know it, Yoko knows it, Sean knows it. Julian’s still in denial but what can you do?

 

That episode aired 18 years ago, do we still consider Julian to be in denial? 😉

Today I watched the Something video or “promotional clip” three or four times in a row. Just like the song, it’s great on every level and both together are awesome.

 

I love seeing the lads being happy with their girls, although we know from today that George found his true luck later in Olivia and Ringo also got divorced from Maureen, while I think it’s safe to say that Yoko and Linda were Baes for life when it came to John and Paul respectively.

 

And while I think Yoko is neither peculiarly attractive nor charismatic – judging from the little I actually know about her as a person – I still must quote Old Macca: “The man was in love, and you have to respect that.”

I am going to Chicago this summer. I found out that Yoko has a permanent, outdoor art exhibit in one of the parks. I already have it marked on my map and know which metro line to take to get there. I will take photos.

I guess bisexual is technically what I ought to have said, but I was joking and therefore going for effect, not literality. ahdn_george_06

Also, I only just last night got Wigwam’s biscuit joke. paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

But anyway, more seriously, what are some of y’all’s favorite Yoko songs? I’ve been listening to Death Of Samantha, Walking On Thin Ice, Yes I’m A Witch, and of course Remember Love repeatedly, and I’m currently listening to this lovely song:

I have no idea what to think of that but I think I don’t mind it. ahdn_george_01yoko-ono_01

This version, despite being ostensibly weirder, actually seems less weird to me because the music is consistently weird with the lyrics:
