Did Yoko love John? | Page 29 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

Yes, there is a Yoko’s music thread if her music is the theme of your post. Her music and artistry can get tangled up in relationship to her relationship to John and why some people *think* she loved him. There’s such a fine line in dividing out aspects of johnandyoko – hey, it just occurred to me that they didn’t even divide aspects of themselves when they used johnandyoko. Everything about them was intertwined. Not saying that we will, but I wonder if we should have only 2 Yoko threads – the appreciation one and a catch-all one.

For the record, I don’t think all people who dislike Yoko’s music and art are racists and/or bigots. They just don’t like what she has put on offer. People enjoy what they enjoy. I enjoy The Beatles as all of you do.

If I had been the Yoko fan who was responding to KyleKartan’s post, I would have simply pointed out that Yoko was an established artist in her own right (in some circles, and that I dig her products) and left out questioning him about being having lowly motives in his assessment of how he views Yoko’s behavior at times. I think there would have been a much more in depth, constructive conversation that followed. That might not have been a perfect response, but that is what I would have done. If someone were truly racist or misogynistic toward Yoko, their true colors would have ended up showing at some point.

I welcome conversation from anyone who thinks Yoko loved John with pure motives AND anyone who thinks her “love” for him was based on ulterior motives. Let all opinions be shared.

I will make this one more response before shushing on the topic. At one point. I sent an email to the mods about shutting down all PID talk on the forum. They helped me see that shutting down anyone who brings it up isn’t the way to go. We should just be polite in rebuking their arguments using facts. We know we may not change their minds, but we don’t have to go hating the person or their rubbish opinion. That could be your approach with Yoko conversations. 

OK, to be truthful, I abhor the pictures that show Paul as a girl. I wonder who posted one of those recently. I was very upset about that dude who insisted that Paul was mean at one of his concerts. I want to put two middle fingers up at John Lennon for calling some of Paul’s songs “granny s**t music.” Not nice, Lennon. I could go on. However, I care more about the people (well, most of them) on the forum than I do their opinions, so i don’t use words that incite or hurt. I want peace and love and good back and forth discussion about the Beatles while I’m on the forum. 

Oh yeah. Anyone who goes hatin’ on Paul’s voice now and says he needs to retire can go jump in a lake of fire.

I better stop pointing out all the ways people hate on Paul that makes me angry so my blood pressure doesn’t spike.

Edit: I didn’t see Joe’s post before making this post.

If we had a “questions you would ask Yoko if you got a chance” thread, we could all ask her if she really love John.  Somehow I just know her answered would be so creative. Dang, now I really want to ask her.
