I listened to Double Fantasy, John Lennon's last album. Except for the singles from it, I had never heard it before. I think they've re-released it now. The John stuff was really good. Its just like having another Beatles album. I had no idea that Yoko would be singing on it. In fact, she sang half the songs. It really is hard to believe. Listen to it sometime. The song Kiss, kiss, kiss is just possible the worst song of all-time. It's like someone was making it as a joke. A very bad, unmusical joke. Really, you need to listen to it. This has now jumped to the top of my list of worst songs of all-time, surpassing Boogie Child by the Bee Gees. That song is even worse that the title would suggest.

I guess I just don't get Yoko Ono. She must have something going for her. John Lennon could have married anyone and he chose her. I don't know why. I've read some stuff about John and Yoko at the end of the Beatle era. It's amazing the other three put up with them as long as they did. They were both kind of nut jobs at least for a few years.
When I was in NYC I saw where they lived and the location where John was shot. In fact our hotel was like three blocks from there. Across the street is Central Park where there is a tribute area to him. I was there probably three different times and there was a guy playing John Lennon songs on his guitar each time. Maybe its a non-stop thing.
