Heading away for a much-needed break – spending a week by the sea, with very little internet at best, quite possibly none. (If I really am internet-free, this will be the longest period I’ve been without the intertubes in about ten years.) In any even, I wouldn’t expect any blogging, or anything much in the way of email responses. I might manage the odd twitter. Look after yourselves, and I’ll see you all in a week.
"Yoko was, and is, interesting in her own right. She's a remarkable artist and a unique thinker. All of the things you think of John Lennon doing in the late-60s and early-70s were inspired entirely and directly by Yoko: the avant-garde art, the politics, the whole peace and love thing. She is responsible for the Lennon we remember and love today, and yet she is at best ignored and at worst vilified… For what, exactly? Being loved by him?"
