2 quick things:
a. pan---in my world calling something a bit of pop fluff is not at all a negative thing. "imagine" is far far from my favorite song, but it's not offensive and other folk like it and find it meaningful and that's fine. that's what pop is about, yes?
b. i think yoko remains radically misunderstood. she was and still is sometimes an interesting artist. i have thought for a long time that she was way more interesting than john and that he was lucky to have her around.
but that's more in reference to her own work. with john, she seemed to get to sit around alot. i never really understood what was up with that---it seemed self-indulgent and silly. sometimes i wonder about what the thinking was, then something else comes up like the next sentence i write and i forget.
does goldman (who was in general a tabloid hack--which to be clear is not entirely a bad thing to me) talk about this?
