The Beatles


Yoko Ono ruined my life

    This isn't a joke. If this was a joke l'd be posting this to r/beatlescirclejerk but this is real. Just looking at my username you can see my last name, what is it?! That's right, ONO. And it doesn't help that I'm Japanese. All my life when people ask me what my last name is I have to reluctantly say Ono and they get all excited and say "oh like Yoko Ono?" Or "ooo are you two related?!" NO WE ARE NOT! JUST BECAUSE WE ARE BOTH JAPANESE AND HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME DOESNT MEAN WE ARE RELATED!!!! All my life it's been like this and I am THIS close to fucking losing it!!! YOKO ONO YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE 

    The Beatles serve as a useful acid test to me

      Lennon was a questionable dude in a bunch of ways (beater, philanderer, homophobe, race issues etc). But most of my Beatles hatred is because they weren’t very good at music. Don’t take my word for it? Here’s Quincy Jones’s take on the subject: https://www.spin.com/2018/02/quincy-jones-the-beatles-interview/
      
      The Beatles serve as a useful acid test to me because if they’re in someone’s collection/haul/post, I know that I can safely discount/ignore their opinions. This post, and OP, are an exception to this rule because the linked content is using the white album to create something new, it’s basically sampling, pulling a Duchamp etc. Grey Album whips ass also.
