Harrison Hops for Yoko! And takes a jab at McCartney from the Grave??

3 Comments


We do love our bold spoken hippie dippy style sister Yoko Ono, but truth be told, the tension between her and the Beatles was apparent.   We know she and John we’re all about Bed Peace and Worldly Brotherhood, so it’s funny to see-easy going George Harrison jumping out of his seat when he hears the beatnik vixen’s brash bottom has sunk into the same seat!

Harrison spares no expense as he takes a cute shot at bandmate McCartney’s charismatic nature either.  Watch the clip above to see George on a talk-show from the 70s for this retro rewind moment! Brought to you by The Eye of Faith !

Music Minute: “We’re all Water”- Yoko Ono (1971-72)

2 Comments

This music minute was brought to our attention by one of our friends, and the second we heard Yoko Ono‘s iconic cry, we knew we had a Music Minute on our hands.  We love strong artistic women who aren’t afraid to speak their mind.  Queen of the Lucid Dream, the track “We’re all water” truly draws the conversation… what do we all have in common? The thread of mankind linking us all together is simple! We are all Water!! (duh.)

An amazing recording with great musicians, Stan Bronstein is the KILLER sax player, Tex Gabriel is the other guitarist, Gary Van Scyoc is the bassist and Adam Ippolito is the keyboardist with Rich Frank as the drummer.  Oh, and did we mention it was produced by Phil Spector . Give this melodic jubilee a listen, and tell us what you guys think of The  Queen of the Peace Movement and Music Scene, Yoko Ono.

Sharing a similar experimental flavour as B-52’s smash “Rock Lobster“. We have to say this track somehow takes it to the next level with comparisons between iconic pop idols, and political figures.  From Chairman Mao to Richard Nixon, not to mention a few name drops of Marilyn Munro, Raquel Welsh, Lenny Bruce, and the Queen of England, this experimental jam really knocks our socks off and get’s our toe’s tappin’ BIG TIME.

Flashback: Rock and Roll Circus!

3 Comments

Welcome to the Rock and Roll Circus! On the 11th of December 1968 the Rolling Stones put together this live spectacular event starring themselves and a who’s who of psychedelic style royalty. Joined by the likes of The Who, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, Jethro Tull, John Lennon and his fiancee Yoko Ono, and Eric Clapton.

We bring you the smallest taste today of this extravaganza starring who better than the Stones themselves. Enjoy ‘You can’t always get what you want’ by the boys. Thanks 2 Albert01824 for the video.

“When I was a kid I joined the circus. I did that. It is true. But it’s not like you think. There was a guy, he had his own circus. His name was Carol Jacobs and he owned it. It was a small thing.”
Christopher Walken

Is this the sort of Circus you might want to run away with??
