Music: Yoko: John Lennon would TOTALLY use Twitter to protest war

  • 99% of the world is taking a stand against wars like Iraq and Afghanistan. John would have done that but he’d have loved the new communication media. He would have been writing statements and sending them out to the world as a blogger and a tweeter.
  • Yoko Ono • Suggesting that John Lennon, who would’ve been 70 today, would have used Twitter to protest the Iraq war. Dude did that silly bed-in thing to protest the Vietnam War, so why not? “When we did our bed-ins for peace against Vietnam the world just laughed at us,” she said. Ono, by the way, is getting up there – right now, she’s 77, though her interviewer says she doesn’t look a day over 50. Here’s the REAL question: Would Lennon put up with the crap over their albums not getting on iTunes? Seems like he wouldn’t. source

Music: Yoko did it: The Beatles not hitting iTunes anytime soon, kids

  • (Apple CEO) Steve Jobs has his own idea and he’s a brilliant guy. There’s just an element that we’re not very happy about, as people. We are holding out. Don’t hold your breath … for anything.
  • Yoko “Beatles Destroyer” Ono • On the idea of releasing the Beatles’ music on the iTunes Store. You know, this debate was funny when it was 2003 and buying music on the Internet was a new and exciting thing. But now it’s 2010. Just accept Apple’s terms, Yoko and company, before you miss out on your chance to be part of the online music revolution altogether. You’ve missed out on millions of dollars already. source
