Since the Paul Appreciation thread recently got a “club name,” I was wondering if it was time this joined the other appreciation threads by getting one as well?
Any suggestions?
Dangerous question when it comes to Yoko. Remember, please, that this is the appreciation thread. 
I have this tongue-in-cheek suggestion:
Walking on Thin Ice: The Yoko Ono Appreciation Thread
Her and John’s final piece of work together, kind of sums up her life in the public eye since she met John.
What do you reckon?

while there’s a certain poignancy to your suggestion… I’m not sure that it’s suitable here for its threads like this one where we are attempting to change the unfair perceptions abound… I guess the other side of it is that maybe we should remind people of how “her life in the public eye” was (still is perhaps) in the attempt to give her her proper due… Expert Textpert would be the one to ask, not just because of his admirable “appreciation” of Yoko, but I believe that he’s the one who started the thread to begin with…:-)

Offline I’ll throw in “Hard Times Are Over” in the mix because its my favorite song of Yoko’s.

Another suggestion:
Remember Love – symbolic, and it’s a lovely Yoko song on the B-side of the Give Peace A Chance single.

Awesome. Mrs. Lennon was copied by Big Star for their song, Holocaust.

Offline I’m listening to my playlist of recommended Yoko songs and really enjoying it. She is such a talented person, it’s a shame people are always criticizing her, even on this forum.

Offline Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him, Kiss Kiss Kiss, Yang Yang and also Open Your Box (B side to Power To The People ) are some of my Yoko favourites. There was a song from the Fly album that once popped up when I browsing the Radiooooooo site I quite liked but I can’t remember it’s name. Will update when I find it.

I was listening to that again earlier. It is very emotional.

With the lines about east and west and the words about the reunion she is hoping for (to never be apart again), it seems to me that the song is about John.
It’s strange that she imagines her reunion with John taking place in Hell. Maybe somehow an admission of guilt on her part.
Also the lines “you’re my curse, I’m your noose” seem to point to the troubles she and John caused each other.
Also the reference to a “Nowhereland in the universe” references “Nowhere Man .”

Offline Good analysis. It hurts that although this was released decades after John’s passing, the pain is still evidently so fresh for her.

Offline True. It’s not hard to imagine that she keeps the products coming out of love for John and not out of greed as some people on this forum allege.
Also, as a married woman John’s fortune was 50% hers anyway. People will criticize the poor woman for anything.
It’s obvious she has deep feelings and cares about others.
