lol!

it's amazing that Yoko's music became such a huge success in this past decade. still blows my mind.

She was a well-respected artist. ...

Please. You sound like her there. She was a con women.

Hey I just took a piss, while screaming, and throwing paint against my wall. I am an artist.

She was a well respected artist before John met her. That's a fact, like it or not.

Can you point me to her greatest piece of art before she met Lennon?

I thought Keith was on bass was a better way to represent The Stones. That's my way of looking at it. Think he did a great job too.

Eggzactly what it came down to. Still, I can see why Bill might be hurt by it, but if he stepped back and thought about what it was, the people watching certainly would want to see Keith more than Bill. Admittedly I didn't even know Bill's name until I started getting into the Stones heavily

That paragraph alone is loaded with mistakes

A Quick One is from... A Quick One, Bill...

I'm also pretty sure Keith could have vetoed himself in on any instrument he'd like in that super group. It was the Stones's show!

I don't think Lennon would agree to play unless it was the lineup he wanted.
You don't think it was the Stones that wanted them to perform one of Yoko's songs do you?

Wyman's screw-up of saying the Who played "Tommy" is great example of why we can't place too much emphasis on what one person says, especially if it is self-serving ("I wrote Jumping Jack Flash").

Bill Wyman never said he wrote JJF. He wrote the riff on keyboards.

So he stole the Stones own riff, which is basically a deviation of a few other songs? I hope they sued him for that.

Not sure how well respected she was but there is plenty of evidence she was busy doing avant-garde and conceptual art in it's very early stages. Her book Grapefruit is an example of some of her early work before she met John. John met her at one of her exhibits by some accounts. A lot of her work was performance related and transitory, certainly not traditional and probably not very marketable.

But like her or not, John obviously did and that's all that really matters. She may have had ulterior motives for seducing John, but John was a willing participant and who can judge matters of the heart.

[en.wikipedia.org])

She was a part of the Fluxus Movement, and was well respected in the art world as an avante garde artist prior to meeting John Lennon.

Fluxus

Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea or idea of what good art is, but like all art > subjective.

one could possibly think, after reading Bill's remarks over the years, that

he didn't like Keith very much...

NOOOOO!
Say it isn't so!

If you watch this and pick out the English (or if you understand French), he says explicity that he prefers Mick to Keith as he (Keith) has displayed bully-like behaviour.

lem, you did the same little dismissive, "they're all the same" post on another thread. Leave if you like, but just because one person or a few people write something, it doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way. You have to shake your head and wonder and people who believe that....why not counter with something more constructive?
