Well, that was an interesting and mostly satisfying month of learning. My real life is full of learningness right now, so I didn't have a ton of time to devote to Ms. Ono, but I'm still happy to be working (well, "working") on this project. I have a much better idea of what Yoko Ono was about, and I want to get a book or two of her art.
The most surprising and probably long-lasting thing to come out of this was my appreciation of her music. I like the screeching! I like the pop songs! Blessings upon my friend Carol for loaning me her cd of Walking on Thin Ice. We're in agreement: it's good goofy fun.
Ultimately, I doubt Yoko Ono would've been noticed by anyone if she hadn't pursued John Lennon, which is a bummer, but she seems to have been quite a character (and I'm sure she still is.) I'm looking forward to learning even more about her, but rules is rules and starting next month (i.e. tomorrow) I'll start a new topic.
